Our glass is world-leading, mainly thanks to the highest quality raw materials, lead-free glassware and handmade processing. That is why we can stand behind our products 100%. But there are a few practices that, if followed, will keep you happy for a long time.

And these are:

1. Wash gently. What does that mean? You can wash your glasses in the dishwasher without fear of them turning grey, but you should always use the gentle programme and make sure that the glass cannot be mechanically damaged in the dishwasher – that is, that it is positioned correctly, that it does not touch other dishes and that the washing arms do not catch on it. It is not recommended to wash thick-walled containers such as decanters, vases and jugs in the dishwasher. For a perfect wash, just soak them in warm water with a little detergent; for hard-to-reach dirt, our debris cleaner will do the trick. 
2. Avoid large temperature changes. Rapid alternation of heat (warm water) and cold (cold water, ice) does not benefit the glass. Therefore, try not to expose jars or pitchers to temperature fluctuations.
3. Avoid poor polishing. Before polishing your glass, watch this short instructional video for all the information you need.

1. Wash sparingly
   Products decorated with gold do not belong in the dishwasher. Always wash them by hand using a gentle
   detergent. Also, beware of over-scrubbing.
2. Avoid large temperature changes
   Rapid changes between hot (warm water) and cold (cold water, ice) are bad for the glass.
   Try not to expose glasses, decanters or jugs to temperature fluctuations.
3. Store glassware dry
   The reaction of the silver contained in the gold deposit, together with atmospheric influences, can
   result in gradual corrosion of the gold decor. To prevent corrosion, store gold
   decorated glass in a completely dry environment.
4. Polish correctly
   If your gold decorated product happens to corrode, you can use the original
   quality by carefully polishing with a suitable product. For perfect polishing
   we recommend SITOL, used for polishing glass, decorated glass and metals.
   Polishing must be carried out gently, only in the area affected by corrosion. When polishing aggressively
   of the entire surface, the gold coating may be damaged.

And that’s it! If you follow these three principles, we believe that glass from Květná will keep you happy for a long time.
