For people collecting crystal oats glassware or other types of antique glassware, you need to care for them carefully, as they are precious and often delicate. Here are some ways to keep your crystal oats glassware in perfect condition and looking fabulous.

The dishwasher is definately out when it comes to crystal oats glassware. The dishwasher soap is too harsh and the water to hot for this delicate glassware. Put a plastic mat in the bottom of the sink and then fill it with warm, sudsy water. Only wash your glassware one item at a time to keep them from knocking together and chipping or breaking. After washing your glassware, either let it air dry or use a very soft, dry, lint free cloth to wipe your crystal oats glassware. Sit each piece on a towel to keep from chipping until you put them away. Use a nylon or plastic bristled brush to remove dust from the inside.

Store the glasses open end up in case any moisture in still in the glass. This could cause clouding.

Always avoid extreme temperature changes, as crystal oats glassware is fragile and this could stress the glass. Never place your glasses in direct sunlight or heat sources.

Shop carefully and enjoy your new hobby of collecting crystal oats glassware.
