The care of glassware is important its selection. Here are some tips on glassware care.
Use mild suds and warm water for washing, never caustic powder. A few drops of cleaning fluid will
add luster to the glass.Rinse in cool water and drain. Polish gently,holding onto the bowl part of
the goblet. Use a lint free towel. Place only one goblet into the dish pan at a time to avoid chipping.
The greatest number of glassware casualties occur in the kitchen. Take time to place a rubber mat in the
sink before washing your fine edged glassware. Remember to fold tea towels for the drain, and rinse
goblets in a plastic dish pan. It's very easy to chip delicate glass against the spout if you hold it directly
under the running water.
Avoid sudden temperature changes. Extreme heat cause glass to expand; cold to contract. Both result
in cracking.
Glasses piled inside each other sometimes stick together. Do not pry! Fill the inside glass with glass
with cold water and immerse the outer one in water to separate.
Before using your dishwasher, check out your machine as some have special settings for glassware.
Be especially careful if your glasses have platinum, gold, or enameled bands.
Always store tour crystal right side up and check for nicks. If you find one, you can repair with
care by using 00 emery paper wrapped around a blunt tool. Filing will make a frosted edge which
ypu can touch up with polishing rouge on a leather strap. Rub gently in both operations.
