The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Plastic Glassware

The Ultimate Guide to Caring for Plastic Glassware

Whether you already own Bravario glassware or are simply looking for the best ways to care for your plastic glasses, this guide is for you. We cover everything you need to know about maintaining both Tritan and premium plastic glassware to ensure they stay clear, durable, and beautiful for years.

With the right care, you can extend the life of your glassware, prevent damage, and keep them looking like new, no matter what brand or type you own. Dive into our ultimate tips for caring for plastic glassware, from everyday maintenance to special precautions.

1. Use Mild Detergents for Cleaning Plastic Glassware
When washing your Bravario glassware, always use a mild detergent. Strong detergents can be too harsh, causing potential damage or discoloration over time. Both Tritan and Premium Plastic are designed to resist most common stains, but mild detergents ensure the longevity and clarity of your glasses.

2. Dishwasher Safety: Keep Temperatures Low
Although both Tritan and Premium Plastic glassware are dishwasher safe, it’s essential to place them on the top rack to avoid exposure to intense heat and high-pressure water jets. We recommend setting the drying temperature below 140 degrees Fahrenheit (60 degrees Celsius). High temperatures can cause warping or stress fractures over time, even in the most durable materials.

3. Hand Washing for Extended Lifespan
While our glassware is dishwasher safe, hand washing is a gentler approach that can extend the lifespan of your products. Use a soft sponge or cloth to avoid scratches, especially on our Premium Plastic Hammered Drinking Glasses. These glasses have a unique textured design that adds visual interest, and hand washing will help maintain their distinct look.

4. Avoid Contact with Harsh Chemicals and Sunscreen
Some chemicals, such as bleach or strong household cleaners, can damage the material or leave unwanted residues. Sunscreen and other oily substances can also cause stains or affect the clarity of both Tritan and Premium Plastic. Avoid direct contact, and if exposure occurs, rinse your glasses immediately with lukewarm water.

5. Prevent Scratches and Maintain Clarity
To keep your glassware scratch-free, avoid using abrasive scrubbers or brushes. Our Unbreakable Drinking Glasses with Indentations for Grip feature a design that enhances grip while minimizing contact with surfaces, reducing the risk of scratches.

6. Protect from Extreme Temperature Changes
Avoid subjecting your glassware to sudden temperature changes, such as pouring boiling water into a cold glass. This can cause stress fractures or even breakage over time, particularly with Premium Plastic Glassware. While Tritan glasses are designed to withstand a wider range of temperatures, caution is still advised.

7. Store Glasses Upright and Unstacked
For optimal storage, keep your glasses upright and avoid stacking them without protective layers, such as cloth or soft paper towels. This prevents unnecessary pressure and scratches on both Tritan and Premium Plastic.

8. Rinse After Using Staining or Acidic Beverages
If you use your glasses for red wine, coffee, or citrus juices, rinse them immediately after use. This helps prevent staining and odor retention, particularly in Tritan products like our Unbreakable Stemless Wine Glasses.

9. Enjoy the Durability of Bravario Glassware
Both our Tritan and Premium Plastic glassware collections offer superior durability and style, making them a great choice for any setting. By following these simple care tips, you ensure your glasses will continue to serve you well for years.
