MAINTENANCE
Our glass is world-class, primarily thanks to the highest quality raw materials, lead-free glass, and hand processing. That is why we can guarantee the quality of our products 100%. There are a few practical tips, and by following them, our glass can bring you joy for a long time.
For regular glass:
- Wash gently. This means you can wash glassware in the dishwasher without worry, but always use a gentle program and ensure that the glass is correctly placed, not touching other dishes, and that the dishwasher arm won’t hit it. For delicate items such as carafes, vases, or jugs, we do not recommend using the dishwasher. For perfect cleaning, simply soak the glass in warm water with a bit of detergent; for hard-to-reach dirt, use our limescale cleaner.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes. Rapid temperature changes (hot to cold) can cause glass to crack. Avoid exposing glass to thermal shocks.
- Avoid improper polishing. For correct polishing of the glass, check out our short instructional video where you can find all the necessary information.
MAINTENANCE OF DECORATED GLASS
- Wash gently. Products decorated with gold are not dishwasher safe. Always wash them by hand using a gentle detergent, and avoid scrubbing too hard.
- Avoid extreme temperature changes. Rapid temperature changes (hot to cold) are not good for the glass. Avoid exposing glassware, carafes, or jugs to thermal shocks.
- Store glass dry. The reaction of silver under the gold layer with atmospheric influences can gradually cause corrosion of the gold decoration. To prevent corrosion, store gold-decorated glass in completely dry conditions.
- Polish properly. If the gold starts to corrode, you can restore its original quality with the careful application of a suitable polishing agent. For perfect polishing, we recommend using SITOL products for polishing glass, decorated glass, and metals. The polishing must be gentle, only in areas affected by corrosion. Excessive polishing of entire surfaces can damage the gold layer.
And that’s it! By following these three principles, we believe the glass from Květné will bring you joy for a long time.
