When storing crystal dishes and glasses, never wrap them in newspaper. The newspaper will take the moisture out of them and make them break when handled. If you are going to store them for a long time, take them out at least once a year and wash them, this helps to replenish any lost moisture and extents the life.
If you are washing delicate dishes in your sink, line the bottom of the link with a bath towel before filling it. This will protect your crystal and china from getting chipped on the hard sink bottom.
My antique crystal has water spots caused by lime in the water over the years. How can I clean the spots off? I've tried vinegar water, window cleaner and bleach - none of them worked.
