Avoid using abrasive materials (steel wool, metal scrapers, scouring pads) to remove food remnants from flatware.
Do not stack glasses unless specifically designed to be stacked
Remove ice and liquid from glasses, allowing glasses to return to room temperature before washing, to avoid thermal shock
Do not put flatware in glasses, as it may cause scratching

Best Practices
Remove chipped glassware from service to avoid injuries
Avoid abrupt temperature changes, from hot-to-cold or cold-to-hot, to reduce the risk of cracking and breakage due to thermal shock
Preheat glasses used for warm drinks with warm water
Avoid glass-to-glass contact
Consult your chemical supplier to ensure use of recommended products for best results with your dishwasher and water conditions
