Troubleshooting
Cloudy appearance after dishwasher cycle

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These glasses require no special setup upon arrival, though it is recommended to wash them thoroughly before the first use. To ensure long-term clarity, rinse them immediately after use if consuming sugary mixers. They are fully compatible with standard domestic and commercial dishwashers. When hand washing, use a soft bottle brush or sponge to effectively clean the grooves of the faceted exterior. While tempered glass is resistant to thermal shock, avoid extreme, direct contact with open flames or stovetops.
