Cleaning the bottom of a glass vase is simple. You can use a scrunched cloth or a brush to reach inside the neck of the vase. For deeper cleaning and to remove limescale, fill the vase with either white vinegar* or citric acid and let it sit for half a day. After that, empty the vase halfway (keeping the vinegar for future use) and cover one of the openings with your hand. Shake the vase vigorously to clean the interior with the vinegar.

*Please do not dispose of the vinegar down the toilet, as it can be harmful to living organisms. Instead, store it in a plastic or glass bottle for future cleaning—vinegar can be reused almost indefinitely.

If you have chosen a colored glass vase, please note that these vases are hand-painted. To clean them, use a cloth dampened with water, or you can rinse the vase under running water and clean it by hand with a small amount of dish soap. Do not place colored glass vases in the dishwasher, and avoid using alcohol or solvents on their external surfaces. For clear glass vases, you can clean the surface with alcohol. However, do not put clear glass vases in the dishwasher.

The handcrafted stone we peoduce has an unlimited duration over time, but it must not be wet or placed in damp areas of the house or near sources of humidity. Any white efflorescence is part of the naturalness of the product (they are due to the salts it contains) and of the particularity of the stone. The best method to clean it is the vacuum cleaner, use the nozzle directly on the surface. Or you can dust it with a very soft, dry and clean cloth, never rubbing the surface. 

The sporadic drops of water that may fall on the artifact during the arrangement of the flowers are reabsorbed by the stone within a few hours and do not damage the material.
