Glass Care and How to Hang
Glass Care:
Dust with a soft cloth. If you need to clean the glass use an ammonia free glass cleaner. Q-tips can be used to clean corners. Do not use abrasive materials or cleaners as they may remove the patina. The metal on stained glass will likely oxidize overtime. This creates a natural aged look. I encourage you to embrace this look, however, if you prefer a shiny look you can use a gentle car wax (like Carnauba) to bring back the shine. Keeping stained glass pieces inside will keep them looking newer longer.
How to Hang:
I recommend hanging pieces from a nail or screw hook. If you want to hang them directly on a window, clear Command hooks are a good option. It is not recommended that you hang from suction cups because they often fail.
Lead Saftey
Stained glass pieces contain lead which can be harmful if ingested. Handling stained glass presents a minimal risk, however, it is recommended that you wash your hands after handling.
