Caring for Glassware

Glass brings lightness to the table and keeps the taste of each drink clean. Most damage comes not from everyday use but from contact: glasses knocking together, a stem twisted during washing or a hot vessel meeting cold water. A little space and a gentle hand are enough.

  • Hand wash
  • Dishwasher: check the product page
  • No sudden temperature changes
  • No abrasive pads

Always follow the care label, product page and instructions supplied by the maker. Where these differ from this general guide, the product-specific instructions take precedence.

Washing

  • Rinse residue before it dries, especially wine, citrus, coffee and mineral-rich water.
  • Wash delicate, tinted, decorated, handblown or double-walled pieces by hand in lukewarm water.
  • Hold stemware by the bowl during washing rather than twisting the bowl and stem in opposite directions.
  • Use a dishwasher only when the individual product is confirmed dishwasher safe, and position each piece so it cannot touch another.

Drying and storing

  • Dry with a clean, lint-free cloth or allow to drain with enough airflow.
  • Store glasses upright with a small amount of space between them.

Cleaning

  • For water spots, use a mild solution suitable for glass, then rinse thoroughly. Keep acidic products away from metallic decoration or sensitive finishes.
  • Clean narrow necks and spouts with a soft bottle brush; never force a rigid utensil through an opening.

Avoid

  • Avoid sudden changes from very hot to cold or cold to very hot.
  • Do not stack glasses unless the design is specifically made for stacking.
  • Avoid abrasive powders and rough sponges that can create fine scratches.
  • Do not continue using chipped or cracked drinkware.
