The Proper Way to Take Care of Your Crystal Glass Trophies

1. The Proper Way to Take Care of Your Crystal Glass Trophies

2. Caring for and maintaining crystal glass items is essential to keep them looking beautiful and prevent damage. To ensure that your crystal glass trophies, glasses and serveware remain in impeccable condition and continue to sparkle brightly, it’s important to know how to care for them. Here are some tips for proper care:

3. Handle with care — The foundation of proper care is gentle handling. When handling crystal glass, be gentle and avoid gripping it too tightly. Hold it by the stem or base rather than the bowl or other delicate parts to prevent breakage. Always hold your crystal glass trophies by their base or the sturdiest part, and avoid touching them with your fingers, as the oils from your skin can leave marks and smudges. Be extra careful not to let crystal items come into contact with hard objects that can cause chipping or cracking. • Hand-wash and dry properly — Fill a basin or sink with warm, soapy water. Use a mild dishwashing detergent free of harsh chemicals and fragrances. Gently submerge the crystal glass items in the soapy water, and use a soft sponge or non-abrasive cloth to clean the items. Avoid steel wool or abrasive scrubbers, as they will scratch the glass. Rinse the glass items thoroughly with clean, lukewarm water to remove the soap residue. If you encounter stubborn stains, mix baking soda and water to create a paste, gently rub the stain, and rinse thoroughly. Always use a lint-free soft cloth or a microfiber towel to dry the crystal glass, as air drying leads to water spots and mineral deposits.

4. Keep inside a cabinet — Always store crystal glass items in a cabinet or display case to protect them from dust and accidental damage. If stacking, use soft, non-abrasive liners between items to prevent scratching. Crystal glass is sensitive to extreme temperatures, so don’t expose it to rapid temperature changes, such as moving from the freezer to a hot oven or placing hot items on a cold crystal surface or vice versa. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can also cause fading, so store your crystal glass in a shaded area. • Also, make sure to regularly inspect your crystal glass trophies and glassware for any signs of stains, chipping, or cracks to prevent further damage. Keep an eye on any loose or detached parts, such as a trophy’s base or figurine. By following these tips, you can enjoy your crystal glass items for years to come and maintain their sparkle.
