How to clean antique crystal from yellowing: our grandmothers used potatoes – and had no problems
Even if you don't use crystal glasses, you still need to rinse them under water from time to time.
If this recommendation is ignored, the material may lose its shine and even become covered with a yellow coating.
To eliminate this defect, you can use fresh potatoes.
The tuber needs to be peeled and cut in half. Then run the cut along the surface of the dish, after which the products are rinsed in a weak solution of blueing, which neutralizes the yellowness.
We believe that it would not be superfluous to remind you of the basic rules for caring for crystal products.
Crystal can only be washed by hand in warm water using dishwashing gels.
Do not use baking soda, powders or other abrasives as they may damage the surface of the crystal. You should also avoid using liquid soap as it may cause the crystal to become dull.
To rinse crystal, you can use water with vinegar added, which will help give the items a shine.
When washing crystal glasses, hold them by the base, and after washing, wipe crystal glassware dry with a soft towel or napkin.
Earlier we talked about the difference between a sauté pan and a frying pan and a saucepan.
