Glass Care
Hanging yo glass
-
Most pieces arrive ready to display, already fitted with a chain or cord for hanging. If you’re placing your glass in a window, it’s best to use a solid hook screwed into the window frame, or attach it to the window’s lock or latch if available.

Suction cups aren’t the most reliable option—especially for heavier items—as they can loosen over time and lead to accidental falls. For wall display, a simple nail is fine for lighter pieces, but for larger or framed work, securing it into a wall stud provides the greatest stability.
Cleaning yo glass
-
Your glass arrives cleaned and polished to help protect it from the start. In most cases, you won’t need to do much beyond occasional dusting.

Over time, however, the lead in the solder may naturally oxidize, creating a faint white residue along the seams. If you notice this, simply wipe it away with a soft cloth—cotton swabs can help with tighter spots. Avoid using cleaners that contain ammonia (such as Windex), as they can damage the solder. ​

Stained glass is traditionally made with lead. While the amount present poses very little risk, it’s still a good habit to wash your hands after handling your piece.
