Our glassware in Ireland is beyond reproach. All it takes is a simple glance at our selection to discover why Shopcookware.ie is so big on this beautiful, useable art. Glassware is very delicate and must be handled with care in order to extend its life. Please read below for a few top tips on how to keep your glassware in the best of conditions:
If you can, your glassware should not be placed into direct sunlight, or any other type of heat source (this includes radiators, air conditioners and so on). Heat can lead to very fine cracks developing in your glassware.
Slippage is a major cause of broken glassware. These are delicate items and should be handled with care. Use two hands to carry every item and remove all lids to ensure that they do not shake off during transport.
Delicate glass vases can be easily stained by foul water. If you are using a glass vase for flower display purposes, then it is best to change the water every two to three days.
Various temperature extremes will add stress to the glass. Dunking glassware in cold water and then immediately into hot water or vice versa will stress the glass to no end. This is especially taxing on antique glassware.
The dishwasher is a no-go area for your glassware. The same goes for the standard stainless steel sink. We recommend using a plastic bowl filled with soapy water. Protect your glassware at all costs.
On this note, please wash each item separately. All it takes is one collision to end the life of your beautiful glassware.
When washing the glasses out, a soft nylon brush will also protect your glassware from scratches.
To dry them, a lint-free cloth is your best bet. Gently clean from the inside to the outside to remove any moisture.
Moisture will create a ‘cloudy’ look, especially during storage. Remove storage lids and decanter stoppers, this will cut out any issue of moisture.
