You may wash your crystal by hand, using a mild liquid dishwashing detergent. To prevent chipping and scratching crystal when washing, remove rings and swing the faucet out of the way. 

If you use the dishwasher, arrange the  pieces securely in the top rack so they do not touch or become dislodged.  Use a mild liquid detergent, as dishwasher detergents, over time, will cause abrasive marks on fine crystal.  Always allow the stemware to cool before removing it from the dishwasher.

Never store  crystal stemware upside down. The lip is the most fragile part of the glass and in time will crack and chip from the weight of the bowl and stem.

;Always allow air space around each piece of crystal when you store it. Since glass expands in hot temperatures, extra air space eliminates the possibility of the crystal breaking because it has expanded and touched another piece.

To remove hard water mineral spots from crystal, simply apply a small amount of vinegar to the water.  A small, soft brush can be useful to clean crystal that has grooves in the design
