Caring for your Stained Art Glass Product

Now that you have made a valuable purchase, it is important that you take proper care of your treasure so you can enjoy it for years to come.

CLEANING

As common with ceramics, glassware should never be put in a dishwasher, as the salts and detergents may harm the surface and cause cloudiness. Wash glass carefully by hand in a plastic bowl with a towel, or foam mat, on the bottom. Use warm water and a little liquid soap, and wash only one piece at a time. If the glass is very dirty or greasy, a few drops of household ammonia can be added to the water, but not if the piece is gilded. Dry carefully and thoroughly while the glass is still warm using a lint-free cloth. A warm hair dryer can be used, well away from the sink and water, to dry the inside of decanters or other vessels. Alternatively, you may place them upside down in an airing cupboard for 24 hours. You can also roll up a paper kitchen towel, push it into a decanter until it touches the bottom, being careful not to lose the end, and remove it 24 hours later.
Hard water left in glass can leave deposits of calcium carbonate, and alcohol will often leave dark stains which can be treated with a solution of denture cleaner and warm water. You could also use an organic acid such as citric acid, white vinegar, or a mixture of one tablespoon of salt to a quarter of a pint of vinegar. Place your glass and your chosen cleaning solvent in a decanter for 24 hours, shaking occasionally, then rinse and dry thoroughly. If stains are still there, you may try repeating the process, although it may not be possible to remove them completely. Do not use stronger acids as they may etch into old glass. Alcohol-based perfume bottle stains can be treated with methylated spirits or pure alcohol. This should be changed every hour or so until the stains have gone. If attempts to clean glass using these methods fail, the process can be done professionally for a relatively low cost. Specialist glass dealers can usually advise on reputable cleaners. Glass which has become ‘crizzled’ with a network of fine surface cracks and all ancient excavated glass should not be washed, and should be handled as little as possible.

RESTORATION

It is best to leave restoration of broken glass to a professional restorer. An amateur effort may not be easily reversible, especially if the wrong type of glue has been used, and can result in a more difficult and expensive professional repair later. When a breakage occurs carefully collect each broken piece, no matter how small or fragmentary, wrap them in acid-free tissue paper and place in a box to prevent further damage or loss.
