·       Do’s:      Rinse in warm water if you must, then dry with cotton or silk material.  At most dealers, you can buy Swarovski gloves (Made of a special cotton).  They fit well and are extremely flexible.  You can also buy a Swarovski Cleaning kit, which has the gloves and a brush, which is great on those hard-to-reach places.  It is important to note that the gloves should be cleaned periodically depending on the frequency of use.

·        Using a small amount of glass cleaner or vinegar works very well too!

·        I discovered this a while back and it’s excellent for cleaning any crystal, prism, or jewelry too.   Fill a clean bottle with car windshield fluid.  Place the piece(s) you want cleaned onto a layer of paper towels, spray it down really well, then let it drip dry.  That’s It !!!  Sparkling clean with no damage, slipping, or handling!!!  The reason is windshield fluid has a drying agent that evaporates the cleaning solution quickly.  It also is a stronger cleaner than any household window ones.  If any dust or particles remain, I use a small hairdryer on the “cool” setting. 

 

·       Don’t’s:     It is best that you should not wash or soak crystal.  And NEVER put them in you dishwasher!  It’ll most likely fall through damaging your machine and the crystal.  Not good.

·       Never clean your crystals or prisms with any abrasive cleaner, powder, or homemade potion!

·       Never clean, polish, buff, or wipe your crystals or prisms with any material that could leave scratches or marks!
