Many
people like to display or use their crystal objects during the special
occasions. However, people are still scared to handle and maintain their crystal
glassware clean like crystal vases, glasses, etc. Crystal objects are
delicate as well as expensive. It is very disappointing that such valued beauty
needs to be kept in cupboard and forgotten, just because you do not know how to
take care of them.
One
of the most important things about cleaning crystal object is that you should
always wash them using your hands and not in a dishwater. In this article we
will take you through the steps for cleaning crystal objects:
- Gather The Supplies: Gear out and keep all the necessary items for the cleaning purpose. You will need white vinegar, distilled water, mixing bowl, and many cotton towels.
- Prepare The Sink: It is important to handle crystal carefully because it is very delicate. Fill the water in the sink and plug it close, squirt some mild detergent, pour one to two cups of vinegar and store the solution.
- Wash Crystal: Fully submerge the crystal bowls and allow it to settle down in soapy water for a minute. Take it out, wipe it gently just like you do to any glass. It is recommended to wash one crystal object at a time.
- Rinsing: Take a large stable mixing bowl and line it with big cotton towel. Fill the distilled water. Carefully dip the crystal in the water and rinse it.
- Drying: There is no unique method of drying crystal objects. All you need to ensure if your hands are dry and once you take out immediately hand dry it and keep it in right away.
- Storage: Store all your crystal jugs and stemware upright. Since the edges are delicate and you don't need any added stress. Always keep them one centimetre away from each other. Give them extra room and allow little space to expand during the warmer season.

precious crystal artefacts. Never use harsh chemicals to clean crystal objects.
