Tips & Tricks : Caring for Your Capitol Decanter
1. Hand Washing Only:
-
Always wash your decanter by hand. Avoid using a dishwasher, as the high temperatures and harsh detergents can damage both the crystal and the pewter medallion.
-
Use warm water and a mild dish soap. Gently clean the decanter using a soft sponge or cloth.
2. Rinse Thoroughly:
-
Make sure to rinse the decanter thoroughly to remove any soap residue, which can affect the taste of your spirits.
3. Dry with Care:
-
After washing, dry the decanter immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots and streaks.
-
To dry the inside, use a decanter dryer or place it upside down on a drying rack to ensure all moisture evaporates.
4. Polishing the Pewter Medallion:
-
To maintain the luster of the pewter medallion, gently polish it with a soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive materials or cleaners, as they can scratch the pewter.
-
If necessary, use a pewter polish specifically designed for fine pewter to restore its shine.
5. Storing Your Decanter:
-
Store your decanter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can cause the crystal to fade and the pewter to tarnish.
-
Keep the decanter upright to prevent any residual moisture from affecting the stopper or the medallion.
6. Avoid Harsh Chemicals:
-
Do not use bleach, ammonia, or other harsh chemicals to clean your decanter. These substances can damage the crystal and pewter.
