Unlike plasticware, glassware can build up a film over a period of use which will dull its shine. So, if the reputation of your business can be affected by the way your crew polish glassware and maintain their shine, here are some tips to minimize scratches and retain the original beauty of your investment.
Wash immediately after use
To minimize the chance of staining your expensive glassware, have them washed as soon as possible after their use. If you prefer the use of a cleaning machine, make sure that you put the glassware in their proper places. Also, it has been proven that hot water is very effective at removing bacteria that may have accumulated in the glass as well as in breaking down any build-up of grease. If there are stubborn stains, soak the glasses first to soften them and gently rub with a soft cloth. Just don’t forget to polish glassware afterward to make them sparkling shine.
Dry the glass properly
If you are used to leaving your glasses to air dry at home, this won’t be a good practice if you are using them in a restaurant or any other business you may have. Air drying can create ugly water spots on your otherwise shiny glass items. This is why investing in the best glass cleaner would be a long way for your business to keep its good name.
The right way to store glassware
To clean and to polish glassware are just part of taking good care of your glasses. Another important part is how you store them away when not in use. You have to make sure that they are being kept in the right way and the right place to reduce the chance of stressing them. This is particularly true in the case of glassware that has delicate rims and other intricate parts that have to be kept away from any moulds of bacteria.
