For delicate stemware, where you hold the glass matters as much as how you wash it. Many RIEDEL glasses are dishwasher-safe, but pieces marked hand-wash only, not dishwasher-safe, or supplied without care instructions require handwashing. These steps follow the manufacturer's advice and should not be generalized to every brand.

1. Read the care marking on the glass or packaging. Hand-wash RIEDEL glasses labelled 'hand wash only', 'not dishwasher safe', or supplied without care instructions. Do not infer dishwasher suitability from appearance.
2. Gently rinse away drink residues soon after use with lukewarm water. Check for cracks or chipped rims; do not continue using or cleaning damaged glassware. Avoid sudden temperature changes and very hot water.
3. For dishwasher-approved glasses, leave space so they do not touch one another. Prefer the upper rack and a stemware holder if available, choosing a glass cycle or a low-temperature 50–55°C program. Keep glasses away from metal utensils and moving spray arms.
4. For handwashing, use warm, not boiling, water and a little dishwashing liquid, then rinse thoroughly with clean water. Handle one glass at a time without pressing hard on the bowl or letting it slip.
5. Support and polish with two clean, large microfiber cloths. Never twist the foot and bowl in opposing directions: the slender stem can snap. Hold the bowl just beneath its base and avoid rubbing the rim on a metal drying rack.
6. Store only when fully dry and separated from neighboring objects; avoid strongly scented items nearby. Haze may be removable mineral or detergent deposits, but actual glass corrosion can be permanent. Follow the exact glass's care label first.
