Whether you've just unboxed your first set or you’re adding to your growing collection, here’s a simple care guide to keep your upcycled glassware in top shape.
1. Hand Wash Preferred
While some VESSL glasses are dishwasher-safe, we always recommend hand washing for best results. Use warm water, a mild detergent, and a soft sponge.
Avoid:
Abrasive scrubbers
Scouring pads
Harsh chemicals
This helps preserve the polished edges and subtle details of each glass.
2. Avoid Sudden Temperature Changes
Upcycled glass is sturdy, but it’s not tempered like factory-made drinkware. To avoid thermal shock (which can cause cracking), don’t pour boiling water directly into a cold glass — or vice versa.
Let your glass come to room temperature before adding hot or cold liquids.
3. Store With Care
Store your glasses upright in a secure cabinet or shelf. Because many VESSL pieces are subtly unique in size or weight, avoid stacking unless they’re specifically designed for it (like those in the Zero Collection).
If stacking is necessary:
Use felt pads or cloth between glasses to prevent chipping.
4. Buff to Shine
For that showroom sparkle, gently buff your glass with a microfiber cloth after drying. This also removes any water spots or fingerprints.
Want to go further? A quick rinse with a splash of white vinegar will restore shine without harming the surface.
5. Embrace the Imperfections
Each VESSL glass is a little different — some may have tiny bubbles, slight variations, or faint traces of their bottle origins. These aren’t flaws; they’re part of the story.
Treat your glassware with intention, and it will reward you with years of character and conversation.
Final Thoughts
Good design deserves good care. And with just a few mindful habits, your VESSL glasses will stay as timeless and durable as the story behind them.
