General Care

  • Do not stack Sippsipp glasses, as they feature an ultra-thin rim. We recommend keeping the original Sippsipp packaging to transport the glasses safely when needed.
  • Do not store glasses in cabinets near strongly scented items, as glass can absorb odors, which may affect the wine's aroma.
  • Rinse the glasses immediately after use to prevent beverage residue from etching the glass. Red wine in particular can damage the glass if residue is left for too long.
  • Do not drink milk-based beverages from your wine glasses. Milk protein leaves a film on the glass that can be difficult to remove.
  • Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations as the glasses may crack. Do not use ice cubes in the glasses, as they cool down too quickly. Similarly, do not use the glasses for hot beverages.

Dishwashing

We recommend washing the glasses in a dishwasher. This is often the gentlest option as it does not subject the glass to manual pressure. Please read our advice below.

  • When placing your Sippsipp glasses in the dishwasher, ensure there is enough space between them so they do not touch each other or other objects.
  • Place the glasses on the top rack and use the glass support if your dishwasher is equipped with one. Using a dedicated glass rack is the best option.
  • Position the glasses upside down (180 degrees) rather than tilted. Always open the machine immediately after the cycle ends to release the steam.
  • Dose dishwasher detergent and other agents according to the instructions. Rinse aid makes a significant difference to the glass's shine. For an eco-friendly alternative, you can use white vinegar.
  • The dishwasher's water softening system should be set according to your household's water hardness. Ensure your dishwasher is always filled with dishwasher salt.
  • Select a low-temperature program (50–55 °C) or a specific glass program to keep your Sippsipp glasses in top condition.
  • After washing, open the dishwasher door to allow moisture to evaporate. Water vapor can damage the glass surface and cause glass corrosion.

Hand Washing

  • Use warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly to avoid any soap residue.
  • To avoid damage, use a soft sponge and avoid subjecting the glass to heavy pressure.
  • Let the glass air dry on a towel. Avoid metal racks, as they can damage the rim of the glass.
  • Buff with a polishing cloth for a brilliant finish.

Polishing

  • Wash the glass first (by hand or machine) and let it dry. If you have stubborn spots, use steam from boiling water while polishing.
  • Ensure the polishing cloth is large enough to grip the glass with both hands.
  • Hold the glass directly under the bowl with one hand and gently polish the inside and outside with the other.
  • Warning: Never hold the base and the bowl at the same time while drying or polishing, as twisting can cause the stem to snap.
  • Wash the polishing cloth at a high temperature (60 °C) with unscented detergent. Do not use fabric softener, as it can leave a greasy film on the glasses.
  • Allow the cloths to air dry and avoid using a tumble dryer.
