How to clean your Zalto wine glasses

We often get the question: "How should I clean the Zalto glasses? Can I use the dishwasher?" And yes, they can. In fact, we recommend washing Zalto glasses in the dishwasher, as most breakages occur when applying manual pressure during handwashing. Here is a small guide on how to properly wash your Zalto glasses, so you can continue to enjoy the enhanced wine experience.

Contrary to what you might expect, dishwashing is the preferred method for cleaning Zalto glasses. Most breakages occur during handwashing due to applied pressure.

• We recommend washing your Zalto glasses in the dishwasher.
• Use a gentle glass program with a maximum temperature of 50 degrees Celsius.
• Ensure that your dishwasher uses soft water or has a water softening feature to minimize mineral deposits and spots.
• Place the glasses securely in the dishwasher, ensuring they do not touch other glasses or metal objects to prevent scratches.
• After the dishwasher cycle is complete, leave the glasses in the machine for about 10-15 minutes to allow them to steam dry.
• If there are any spots or stains, you can use clear vinegar to remove them.
• For a sparkling finish, consider using a soft polishing cloth to buff the glasses.
• If available, using a specialized glass rack or holder in the dishwasher can provide optimal support and protection for your Zalto glasses.

By following these guidelines, you can safely and effectively clean your Zalto glasses in the dishwasher, maintaining their quality and ensuring an enjoyable wine-tasting experience.

• Wash the glasses gently under warm water using dishwashing liquid, and rinse them thoroughly.
• Polishing Zalto glasses: Use two soft polishing cloths, one in each hand. Remember never to hold the glass by the base while polishing the bowl.
• It is crucial not to twist or apply pressure to the glass.
• Storage: Avoid storing the glasses in kitchen cabinets with strong aromas that could transfer to the glasses - every detail matters!

When handwashing your Zalto glasses, handle them with care to avoid any accidental damage. Proper cleaning and storage will help preserve their quality and ensure an exceptional wine-tasting experience.

• Wash the cloth at boiling temperature (to kill bacteria) using unscented soap.
• It should be washed at a minimum of 75 °C (167 °F).
• Never use fabric softener during rinsing as it can leave residue on the cloth's surface, and avoid any grease stains.
  By following these steps, you should achieve the best results and have sparkling and shining Zalto glasses. However, please note that we cannot guarantee outcomes as all Zalto glasses are unique and handcrafted. We wish you a wonderful experience.

Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the pristine condition of your Zalto glasses. These fine instruments for wine appreciation can absorb surrounding odors, potentially affecting your tasting experience.

Follow these recommendations to keep your glasses aroma-free:

• Choose a Dedicated Space: Store your Zalto glasses in a separate cabinet away from the kitchen's main cooking area.
• Avoid Strong Odors: Keep glasses away from spices, coffee, cleaning supplies, and other aromatic items.
• Maintain Proper Orientation: Always store glasses upright to prevent rim damage and minimize dust collection.
• Air Out Regularly: Before use, allow your Zalto wine glasses to breathe in a clean, odor-free area for a few hours.
• Use Natural Odor Absorbers: Place activated charcoal or baking soda near (not touching) your glassware to neutralize ambient odors.

By following these guidelines, you'll ensure your Zalto glasses remain in optimal condition, ready to enhance your wine-tasting experience without any unwanted aroma interference.
