How to clean and care for glassware

Clear, sparkling glasses are not only aesthetic, but also an essential part of any table setting and beverage experience. Whether it's an everyday drinking glass, fine wine glasses or specialty glasses for cocktails, proper cleaning is crucial to maintaining their beauty and quality. In this guide, we will share various techniques, products and insider tips to keep glasses spotlessly clean and restore their shine.

Villeroy & Boch glasses are high-quality products. To ensure that you can enjoy them for a long time, it is important to consider a few things when cleaning and caring for them.

Dishwasher-safe glasses can be cleaned in the dishwasher. To prevent scratches and breakage, place your glasses in the dishwasher so that they do not knock against each other during washing. Always place glasses in the top rack of the dishwasher. Select a glass or delicate program with a short cleaning cycle, at a low temperature, and consider the hardness of the water.

However, not all glasses are dishwasher-safe. The product details of Villeroy & Boch glasses always state whether they are dishwasher-safe or not. As a general rule, long-stemmed glasses should be washed by hand and not in the dishwasher. Use a soft cloth, warm water and a mild detergent to clean your glasses. Then dry them carefully, and polish them if necessary.
