Why Proper Care Matters

100% fine crystal is delicate and can be damaged by incorrect handling.

• The Medusa stopper is a sculptural element that deserves gentle treatment.
• Preserving clarity, brilliance, and the lead-free composition ensures safe, elegant enjoyment of your whiskey or fine spirits.
• Regular care prevents stains, residue, and dullness.

Step-by-Step Guide: Cleaning Your Medusa Treasury Decanter

1️⃣ Initial Preparation

• Always handle the decanter with clean, dry hands to avoid fingerprints.
• Place a soft towel at the base of the sink to prevent accidental chips.

2️⃣ Hand Washing Only

• Never put the decanter or Medusa stopper in a dishwasher — the high heat and detergents can damage the crystal.
• Use lukewarm water (not hot!) and a mild, pH-neutral dish soap.
• Pour water into the decanter and gently swirl.

3️⃣ Cleaning the Interior

• If residue or staining is present, fill the decanter with warm water and a teaspoon of white vinegar or a drop of dish soap.
• For stubborn stains:
  Add a few uncooked rice grains, swirl gently to dislodge particles.
• Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water several times.

4️⃣ Cleaning the Medusa Stopper

• Use a soft sponge or cloth with lukewarm water and mild soap.
• Pay extra care to the Medusa head sculpture — avoid using brushes or abrasive cloths.
• Rinse and gently pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

5️⃣ Drying

• Air-dry the decanter upside down on a lint-free towel.
• For the stopper, dry completely by hand with a soft microfiber cloth.

Additional Care Tips

• Do not leave liquids inside the decanter for extended periods, as this may cause clouding.
• Avoid exposure to sudden temperature changes.
• Store the decanter in a dust-free cabinet away from direct sunlight.
• Periodically polish the exterior with a crystal cleaning cloth to maintain its brilliance.
