Setup, Compatibility & Care
These tumblers do not require any complex setup; they are ready for use after a simple initial rinse. To maintain the clarity and integrity of the cut design, it is essential to follow specific care instructions:
- Washing: Always hand wash these glasses in warm, soapy water. Avoid the high temperatures and abrasive detergents found in commercial or domestic dishwashers, as these can cause clouding or damage to the delicate cut facets.
- Drying: Use a lint-free microfiber cloth to dry the glasses immediately after washing to prevent water spots.
- Storage: Store the glasses upright in a cupboard or bar cart. Avoid stacking them directly inside one another, as the fine edges of the cut design may scratch or chip under pressure.
- Temperature: While suitable for chilled drinks, avoid extreme rapid temperature changes, such as pouring boiling water into a freezing glass, to prevent thermal shock.
