Don’t have a bottle brush on hand?
If not, look for care instructions on the original packaging or on the manufacturer’s website.
Crystal wine glasses and other crystal pieces shouldnever be cleaned in the dishwasher.
Always wash crystal by hand in warm water to prevent damage to the delicate material.
Wine glasses should not be touching anything other than the dishwasher rack to avoid breakage.
Many dishwashers allow users toraise or lower the top rackto accommodate larger items.
Therefore, when using a dishwasher to clean wine glasses, do not use the heated dry setting.
