General Cleaning

• Your stained glass has been cleaned and sealed with a protective wax. Most of the time, a light dusting with a soft cloth will do the trick.

• Avoid ammonia-based cleaners (like Windex), which can damage solder.

• For buildup, wash gently with Dawn dish soap and water.

• Avoid abrasives (like Magic Erasers), especially if your solder is black or copper.

• If you notice a white buildup that won’t come off with dish soap, reach out — it may be oxidation, and we’re happy to help.

 

Polishing

• Over time, solder lines may lose their shine.

• Twice a year (or as needed), you can polish to restore protection:

  • Use Pledge furniture polish or a carnauba wax–based car wax.

  • Apply with a dedicated cloth, let sit 5–15 minutes, then buff with moderate pressure (focusing on solder lines).

  • Use a cotton swab or toothpick for tight spots.

 

Display

• Your piece already comes with a sturdy chain attached.

• Please hang only from secure hooks (never suction cups or Command strips... trust us).

 

Lead Notice

• Our stained glass is soldered with a 60/40 tin-lead mix and sealed with wax when finished.

• For extra precaution:

  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.

  • Don’t lick it...
