Keep your glass art beautiful
Handmade glass art is delicate and deserves gentle care to keep it sparkling and safe for years. Here's how to clean, handle, and look after your pieces.
Handle with care
- Always support a piece with both hands, holding the sturdiest part — not delicate edges or protrusions.
- Handle with clean, dry hands to avoid smudges and slips.
- Place pieces down gently on a soft, stable surface.
Dust regularly
Dust gently and often with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or a soft brush. Regular light dusting keeps glass art clear and sparkling and reduces the need for wet cleaning.
Clean gently when needed
- Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild glass cleaner.
- Wipe gently — never scrub, which can scratch or stress the glass.
- Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaners.
- For stained glass with metal (lead/foil) lines, be extra gentle and avoid soaking.
Take special care with stained glass and suncatchers
Clean gently, support the whole piece, and avoid putting pressure on the joints. Hang suncatchers securely with a strong hook so they don't fall.
Display safely
- Place pieces where they won't be knocked — away from busy edges and reach of children and pets.
- Use stable stands or secure fixings for hanging and standing pieces.
- Keep delicate pieces away from doors and windows that slam.
Mind temperature and sun
Avoid sudden temperature changes, which can stress glass. While glass art loves light, very intense, prolonged direct sun on certain pieces or finishes is best avoided.
Storing and moving
If you store or move a piece, wrap it well in soft material and a sturdy box, supporting it so it can't shift. Treat it as the fragile, precious item it is.
A little care, years of beauty
Handle gently, dust regularly, clean softly, and display safely — and your glass art will catch the light beautifully for many years.
