Waterford Crystal Vase
How To Wash Your Waterford Crystal Vase
Waterford crystal is an elegant decoration and a statuesque addition to your Waterford collection. I want to tell you how to care for your precious Waterford crystal vase. More than one priceless crystal vase broke due to the carelessness of its owner, so here are some basic tips to protect your prized collection.
Never Put Your Waterford Crystal Vase in a Dishwasher
Maybe you have heard Dishwasher companies telling you that by now it was safe to put crystal into a dishwasher. Quite a few machines now come with a crystal setting meant to protect the precious items.
Don’t endanger your precious crystal just to get done faster! If you search the internet, you will stumble upon various stories of breakage and chipping. And even if your Waterford crystal vase does not break – many owners complain about their vases losing their brilliance and sparkle after a few times in the dishwasher.
The Correct Way to Wash Your Waterford Crystal Vase
Wash your vases by hand, using lukewarm water. Some owners of Waterford crystal recommend a bit of ammonia to stop spotting and pitting. When cleaning it, use light, circular motions instead of vigorous rubbing. Otherwise the likelihood of minor scratches is much higher.
After cleaning your Waterford crystal vase, dry it with a soft cloth and do NOT put any hot or cold liquid inside until the vase is completely dry! A sudden change in temperature can easily cause breakage and stress fractures.
Denture Tabs – Good Or Bad?
Many people recommend denture tabs. They claim that it’s a great way to remove stains on the crystal.
While it might be a good way of cleaning your crystal vase, I recommend you to stay away from those tabs. The reason is the percentage of lead contained in the crystal. Now, the Denture Tabs can cause leeching of the lead content.
The lead may linger later when filling it with water, whine or whisky – do you want to mix your whine with lead extract? In my opinion it’s safer to stick to the hand washing to care for your Waterford crystal vase – and your health.
