Keep your Pyjamas drinking glasses clear and scratch-free with a simple washing, drying, and storage routine for borosilicate glass.
Quick answer
Wash your Pyjamas drinking glasses by hand in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and air-dry or towel-dry immediately. Store them so they don't touch each other, and avoid sudden temperature changes to keep the borosilicate glass clear and scratch-free.
Why borosilicate glass changes the care routine
Borosilicate glass is more resistant to thermal shock than ordinary glass, so it handles hot and cold drinks better. That doesn't mean it's unbreakable—it can still chip or crack if knocked, and sudden extreme temperature changes should still be avoided. Hand washing is gentler on the delicate engraved stripes than a dishwasher, which can dull the design over time.
When the dishwasher is tempting
If you must use a dishwasher, choose a gentle cycle and a mild detergent, and load glasses so they don't touch other items. However, repeated dishwasher use may wear down the engraved stripes and increase the risk of scratches. For the Pyjamas set, hand washing is the safer everyday choice.
Step-by-step care routine
- Wash by hand: Fill a basin with warm water and a small amount of mild dish soap. Wash each glass gently with a soft sponge, paying attention to the rim and the engraved stripes. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh detergents. Never use steel wool or scouring pads—they will scratch the glass and dull the design.
- Rinse thoroughly: Rinse each glass under running warm water to remove all soap residue. Soap left behind can leave a film and affect the taste of your drink. Check the water runs clear and there are no slippery spots.
- Dry immediately: Dry the glasses with a clean, lint-free towel or leave them to air-dry upside down on a rack. Drying immediately prevents water spots and streaks. If air-drying, make sure the rack is clean and the glasses aren't touching each other.
- Store with care: Store glasses in a cupboard where they won't knock against other items. If stacking, place a soft cloth or paper towel between each glass to prevent scratches. Avoid storing glasses on their rims—store upright or upside down on a clean surface.
- Handle temperature changes gradually: While borosilicate glass is heat-resistant, avoid pouring boiling water into a cold glass or placing a hot glass on a cold surface. Let glasses adjust to room temperature first. Run warm water into the glass before adding very hot liquids.
