Cleaning Cut Glass

Every time you wash your cut glass, you risk damaging it. Some specialists advise that the less you handle it (i.e. cleaning), the better it is for the glass.

When you do want to clean it, handwash in lukewarm water (never real hot or real cold). Dry with a soft lint-free cloth. Some people use a vegetable brush to clean the small cut areas—pat dry and then use the cloth in the cuts to absorb all the water.

If you are using a cut glass vase, don’t let the water sit for a week. Keep changing the water. If you get a little bit of discoloration, use a denture cleaner tablet in water inside the vase overnight.
