    Whatever you do, do NOT put your crystal in the dishwasher as eventually it will ruin it beyond repair. Crystal should always be washed at room temperature water with a little mild soap added. It should not be left to dry in the air but but with a soft dish towel. The dish towel should not have been treated with fabric conditioner as it will leave a film on the glass.

    To restore sparkle add 1/4 cup of white wine vinegar to a bowl of water at room temperature. Dip the crystal in and then dry and polish with a soft dish towel.

    If you have a crystal vase or decanter that is dirty inside fill it with warm water and then add a denture cleaning tablet.

    Wash in hot soapy water, sing a soft scrubbing brush, an old toothbrush will do. Let it sit in clean, very hot water for a few minutes then drain and dry. Or do it as I do, put it in the dishwasher on hot wash and dry. It will look beautiful. I have Stuart crystal from my grandmother, Waterford crystal from my Mum and my own Orefes and Swarazki

    This depends on the purpose of the crystal. Is it a dish, a frame, a wine flute?

    One resource is here: http://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=12228764&...

    Without knowing the purpose of the crystal I am unable to be completely clear myself. I hope you find that link to be of service to you.

    Use approx. 1/4 cup of ammonia in a sink full of warm water. Let sit in water, but make sure your sink is lined with towels so glasses don't break.
