There’s just something about crystal. Its sparkle adds elegance to any setting.
To keep your crystal looking beautiful, just follow these helpful tips:
- Rinse crystal immediately after use to avoid stains and deposits.
- Although some crystal is considered dishwasher safe, it is best to wash it by hand. Place a rubber mat in the sink and a rubber cover over the faucet.
- Remove rings and bracelets.
- Dry crystal by hand, with a lint-free cloth.
- Never store crystal upside down; you may chip the fragile rim.
- To make crystal sparkle, occasionally add a few drops of ammonia or 1/4 cup of vinegar to your rinse water.
