Always Clean It By Hand
Crystals are very sensitive to temperature. It is best to wash them with running water instead of using your dishwasher with it. The warm temperature in a dishwasher can cause your crystals to fog up, destroying its prismatic, natural beauty.
Use Crystal-Friendly Cleaning Agents
If you want to really give your crystals a thorough cleaning, it would be best to use cleaning solutions that is specifically created for such material.
