Elevate your dining experience by showcasing your glassware in its best light. Whether you have a collection of delicate crystal or everyday glassware, proper care ensures that your glasses stay sparkling and ready for any occasion. In this blog post, our department store shares expert tips on taking care of your glassware to maintain their brilliance and longevity.

1. Handwashing Excellence: While it might be tempting to toss your glassware into the dishwasher for convenience, handwashing is the key to preserving the beauty of delicate glass. Use a mild detergent and warm water, and be sure to rinse thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
2. Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Sudden temperature changes can stress glass and lead to cracks or breakage. Avoid pouring hot liquids into cold glasses or vice versa. Allow glassware to reach room temperature before exposing it to extreme conditions.
3. Gentle Drying Techniques: Patience is key when it comes to drying your glassware. Air-dry them on a clean, soft towel, avoiding the use of abrasive materials that could scratch the glass. Towel-drying also prevents water spots from forming.
4. Storage Solutions: When storing your glassware, make sure they are placed upright and not touching to prevent scratching. Use soft, non-abrasive material, such as felt or microfiber, as dividers. Store glassware in a cool, dry place to avoid humidity-related damage.
5. Handle with Care: Always handle glassware with clean, dry hands. Avoid gripping stems too tightly, especially with delicate glassware. Hold glasses by the base or the bowl to minimize the risk of breakage.
6. Polishing Techniques: To keep your glassware sparkling, consider using a lint-free microfiber cloth for polishing. A gentle buffing will remove any smudges or fingerprints, leaving your glassware looking as good as new.
7. Specialized Cleaning for Crystal: Crystal glassware requires extra care. Clean it with a mixture of warm water and a few drops of white vinegar to remove mineral deposits. Avoid harsh chemicals, as they can damage the delicate surface of crystal.
8. Regular Inspections: Periodically inspect your glassware for any signs of damage, such as chips or cracks. Address issues promptly to prevent further damage and ensure the longevity of your glassware.
