A Guide to Keeping Your Crystal Awards in Pristine Condition
At Glassical Designs, we understand that your crystal awards are more than just accolades—they are cherished symbols of achievement and dedication. To ensure they remain as stunning as the day they were awarded, proper care is essential. Keep reading for a straightforward guide to keeping your crystal awards in pristine condition.
1. Regular Dusting
Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a duster to gently remove dust and dirt. Regular dusting prevents buildup that clouds the crystal’s clarity.
2. Cleaning with Care
For deeper cleaning, mix mild dish soap with warm water. Dampen a soft cloth with the solution and gently wipe the crystal. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as these can scratch the surface.
3. Rinsing Thoroughly
After cleaning, rinse the crystal under lukewarm water to remove any soap residue. Make sure to wash away all soap to maintain the crystal’s brilliance.
4. Drying Properly
Pat the crystal dry with a clean, soft cloth. Avoid air-drying, which can leave streaks or water spots. Ensure the crystal is completely dry before placing it back on display.
5. Safe Storage
When not on display, store your crystal awards in a protective case or soft cloth bag to prevent damage. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to avoid discoloration or warping.
6. Handling with Care
Always handle your crystal awards with clean hands or gloves. Oils and residues from your fingers can leave marks and impact the crystal’s clarity over time.
By following these simple steps from our guide to keeping your crystal awards in pristine condition, you can ensure they remain as stunning as the day they were awarded, continuing to shine brightly as a lasting testament to the remarkable achievements they represent.
