1. Cleaning Tools & Methods: Stainless Steel Beads vs. Specialty Brushes
Due to the narrow neck and wide aerating bowl of Swan, U-Shape, and Lyre decanters, traditional sponges cannot reach the interior base. Using improper cleaning tools can cause internal scratching or chipping.
| Cleaning Method | Effectiveness on Tannin Residue | Risk of Scratching | Recommended Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| 304 Stainless Steel Cleaning Beads | ★★★★★ (Swirls smoothly across base) | Ultra-Low (Micro-spherical polished) | Deep curved bowls, U-shape decanters, whiskey carafes |
| Flexible Foam Decanter Brush | ★★★★☆ (Gentle surface wipe) | Zero (Soft non-abrasive foam) | Standard slant-top decanters, carafes |
| White Vinegar & Warm Water Soak | ★★★★★ (Dissolves hard water minerals) | Zero (Chemical dissolution) | Cloudy glass restoration, mineral deposit removal |
💡 Jingyue Lead-Free Crystal Care Advice
Our hand-blown decanters are crafted from high-clarity lead-free crystal glass with a cold-cut, flame-polished rim. To preserve clarity, avoid aggressive alkaline dishwashing detergents and always air-dry upside down on a silicone-tipped decanter drying stand.
