Taking a few moments to care for your Tears and Cheers glassware will help keep it brilliant and clear throughout a lifetime of use. We recommend the following care:
Hand wash using a non-abrasive (mild soap like dishwashing liquid) cleaner in warm water. You cannot use any type of chemical cleaner like Windex. You may wish to cushion the sink with a towel or rubber mat. If stains appear in the vessel, gently rub with half a lemon, wash with vinegar, or soak the interior with powdered dentifrice dissolved in lukewarm water. To dry, use a soft, lint-free cloth or air dry. To avoid scratching, dust with a soft, lint-free cloth fampened in a mild solution 1-part ammonia to 3-parts water.
Do not expose to rapid temperature changes or extremes of temperature. Do not place in the microwave, oven, dishwasher, or freezer. Avoid placing in direct sunlight. For best results, avoid contact with metal utensils with stirring or serving. Store your glassware right side up; do not stack vessels. Avoid sliding or twirling the glass. Avoid contact with hard or abrasive materials. You may wish to cover display areas with protective felt. Avoid packing glassware in newspaper or other moisture-absorbing materials for long periods of time; soft-cloth or bubble wrap is preferable.
