Care Instructions for Stained Glass
Glass is fragile and will break if dropped, bumped, or slammed in to something. Please handle firmly but gently and place in an area that is not likely to be "messed with". Be sure to hang from a secure and sturdy hook or nail. Suction cups are not recommended as they often fail. If you choose to use a suction cup, regularly push out any air bubbles and check to make sure it is secure.
Each stained glass piece has been cleaned, polished, and waxed. The wax acts as a sealant that slows the natural oxidation process of the solder, zinc or lead used to construct the design. If cleaning is required, mild dish soap may be used to gently wash the piece. Do not scrub or use an abrasive sponge. Dry with a soft cloth such as cotton or microfiber. Apply wax (you can use car wax) to the piece to restore shine and slow down the oxidation process.
**Solder contains lead. Keep out of reach of children and pets and wash hands after handling.
