Taking care of stained-glass creations

Stained glass pieces require a little care to preserve their beauty and longevity. The following recommendations are designed to help you look after yours, ensuring that each piece remains beautiful, vibrant and protected for years to come.

Back

Each piece is made of glass and tin (contains lead*) and comes with a chain for hanging.

Be sure to use a sturdy hook screwed into the window frame or wall. Do not use suction cups to hang your piece in the window, as they may detach over time.

Each piece comes clean and polished for initial protection.

However, over time, the lead in the solder may oxidize and form a white rim around the joints. If this occurs, gently wipe it with a soft cloth.

You can apply oil, such as baby oil or olive oil, to protect it.

Never use cleaning products containing ammonia, or vinegar as they can damage the solder.

It is recommended to wash your hands after handling.
