Handmade Nine-tailed Fox Xishi Teapot

1. Cleaning

Recommended Method:

• Hand Wash Only – Use warm (not hot) water and a mild, fragrance-free dish soap.
• Gentle Scrubbing – Clean with a soft sponge or microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive materials.
• Rinse Thoroughly – Ensure no soap residue remains, as it can alter whiskey’s aroma and taste.
• Stubborn Stains/Odors – Soak in warm water with baking soda (1 tsp per cup) for 10-15 minutes before rinsing.

Avoid:

• ✖ Dishwashers (high heat and detergents can damage glass).
• ✖ Harsh chemicals (bleach, strong acids, or scented soaps).

2. Drying & Storage

• Air-Dry Upside Down – Place on a clean drying rack or lint-free towel to prevent water spots.
• Polish Gently – For crystal glasses, buff with a microfiber cloth to maintain shine.
• Store Separately – Keep in a dust-free cabinet; avoid stacking to prevent chips/scratches.

3. Special Care Tips

• Cloudy Glass? Soak in a 1:1 vinegar-water solution, then rinse well.
• Lipstick/Stains? Use a soft toothbrush with a baking soda paste.
• Frosted Glass? Avoid sudden temperature changes (e.g., hot to cold) to prevent cracking.

Pro Tip: For crystal whiskey glasses, occasional hand-polishing with a vinegar-dampened cloth helps maintain brilliance.

Proper care ensures your glassware stays pristine for the perfect whiskey experience! 🥃
