Barware Glasses are delicate and expensive, thus they need special care and precautions to keep them shining and long-lasting. You wouldn’t like to serve drinks to your guests in faded, stained, or scratched glasses. If not washed properly, the odors and toxic substances from drinks may remain in the glasses. Moreover, the chemicals in water (bleach, etc) may leave watermarks on the glasses which can result in losing the sheen of these glasses.

You also need to store them safely to protect the barware glasses from mechanical and thermal shock. Also, always wash barware glasses by hand before the first time use; to remove any smell of the packaging, etc. Hand wash each glass separately and avoid soaking with other glasses to minimize the chances of mechanical shock. Clean them with a glass cleaning detergent with warm water and a soft sponge. When washing the barware glasses in a dishwasher, don’t clean them with cutlery and crockery, and wash the glasses at low temperatures to avoid any chances of crack.

Air-dry the glasses in an upturned position and remove any watermarks using a soft and clean cloth once the glasses are completely dry. Keep the glasses separately and don’t stack them over one another as it may damage the rims of the barware glasses, especially the ones with wider rims like cocktail glasses. You can also use soft mats inside the cupboards before keeping your glassware.
