Kammie Tray with Cloche

Glass brings lightness, clarity, and modern sophistication to Elevated Living's collection. Whether clear, frosted, smoked, or antiqued, glass elements require delicate care to maintain their brilliance and avoid scratching or breakage. This guide outlines maintenance and protection best practices for lasting elegance.

Daily & Routine Care

1. Regular Cleaning

• Use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe surfaces regularly and remove fingerprints or dust.
• Clean with a non-ammonia, streak-free glass cleaner or a homemade mix of vinegar and distilled water (1:1 ratio).
• Spray cleaner on the cloth—not directly on the glass—to avoid overspray on nearby materials.
• Wipe in circular or vertical motions for a streak-free shine.

2. Fingerprint & Smudge Prevention

• Use a clean, dry microfiber cloth to buff out light marks.
• Avoid touching glass surfaces with oily or lotion-covered hands.

Preventative Measures

1. Scratch & Chip Prevention

• Always use felt pads, placemats, or coasters on glass tabletops.
• Avoid sliding ceramics, metal, or textured décor across glass surfaces.
• Keep heavy items away from glass edges and unsupported areas.

2. Temperature & Humidity Control

• Avoid placing extremely hot or cold items directly on glass—use protective mats or trivets.
• Do not subject glass to sudden temperature changes (e.g., moving from a hot sunlit area into cold storage).

3. Safe Placement

• Ensure that wall-mounted glass (like mirrors) is secured using proper anchors or brackets.
• For free-standing items, place glass objects on flat, stable surfaces away from high-traffic areas.

Special Finish Considerations

1. Antiqued or Smoked Glass

• Clean gently with a damp microfiber cloth only.
• Avoid chemical cleaners which may damage decorative coatings.

2. Frosted or Textured Glass

• Use a soft-bristle brush or cloth with mild soap to remove buildup in textured patterns.
• Dry thoroughly to prevent water spots.
