FAQ

What are the care and cleaning recommendations of the Saint-Louis products?

  • Cleaning by hand with a soft sponge and gentle dishwashing liquid is recommended.
  • Put glasses on a paper towel to drip dry, then delicately wipe with a linen tea towel or a soft, fluff-free cloth.
  • If using a dishwasher, select a moderate-temperature programme, use a small amount of dishwashing powder, as opposed to liquid, gel, etc., and make sure there is enough space between products.
  • Do not use dishwasher or white vinegar for products decorated with gold or platinum.
  • Clean decanters and jugs with clear, lukewarm water after use. Avoid leaving wine in them.
  • To remove marks left by tannin or calcium deposits, pour the same amount of white vinegar and lukewarm water into the object. Leave for as long as necessary, then rinse. This can also be done before use or following a period without use to preserve the radiance of crystal.
  • To facilitate drying and avoid condensation marks, place a long strip of absorbent paper inside the product, leaving it protruding from the neck.
