How to Properly Care for Your Glassware🧼

Glassware brings elegance and clarity to your table, but it requires proper care to maintain its brilliance. Whether it’s a handblown wine glass or a modern tumbler, following a few simple guidelines will help your glassware last for years.

🧽 1. Cleaning: Gentle but Thorough

  • Hand wash delicate glassware using warm water and a mild, non-abrasive soap.
  • Avoid hot water shocks: Don’t rinse cold glass with hot water—it can crack!
  • Use a soft sponge or microfiber cloth to prevent scratches.
  • Air dry upside down on a clean dish rack for spot-free results.

šŸ“¦ 2. Storing Glassware Safely

Tip: Always store glassware upright unless it's stemware like wine glasses—these should hang or be stored upside down to avoid rim pressure.
  • Separate pieces to avoid clinking damage.
  • Use shelf liners or soft padding in cabinets.
  • For long-term storage, wrap in soft cloth or paper and place in a box with dividers.

šŸ’” 3. Avoiding Common Mistakes

  • āŒ Don’t stack glasses unless they’re designed for stacking.
  • āŒ Avoid the dishwasher for thin or handmade pieces—it can etch or break them.
  • āŒ Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.

🌿 4. Extra Shine & Care Tips

  • Use a vinegar-water mix (1:3) for removing hard water stains naturally.
  • Polish with a lint-free towel to restore clarity.

Taking a few extra moments to care for your glassware can extend its life, preserve its beauty, and keep your table looking elegant every day. šŸ’«
