One of his most prized collectibles for generations, the brilliantly embellished and ornate German beer mug requires the utmost care and handling of the priceless piece with dexterity. Let’s discuss the vital aspects of the proper display and cleaning of these beautiful toiletries.
Steins exhibit
Display your beer mugs with closed lids as they prevent incessant aging and damage compared to open lid displays. The closed lids prevent oxidation of the inner body of the jug and thus stop the irrevocable staining process of the jugs.
Storage in a vacuum sealed container
All jugs are artificial and age with time; For a longer, flawless and scratch-free life of your carafe, protect them in the best possible way in a vacuum sealed cover, which protects them from the oxidation process and therefore delays the aging process.
Avoid drinking beer from German mugs
Beer connoisseurs love to display and enjoy drinking their beer from beer mugs. The only problem is that the beautiful piece of jug gets stained and damaged. However, the worst can be when it is damaged, while cleaning the part.
Do not clean in dishwasher
First of all, avoid using a dishwasher. These have a constant heat flow that causes the pitcher to dry out and possibly split or crack. This is very challenging because the pewter mug, glass beer mug, or stoneware mug encompasses a different expansion and contraction factor. Therefore, it is best not to use any type of automatic dishwasher to clean or rinse your jugs.
Hand cleaning
- Rubber coating
When cleaning jugs in the sink, first place a thick rubber mat with a liner at the base of the sink or tub. Second, cover the sides of the wash area for added protection, to warn the jugs from contact with the hard wash surface while cleaning.
- Fill the liner with warm water
Fill the rubber wrinkle bowl with warm water and mild detergent to clean it. Never wash with hot water, as there is a possibility that the internal substances that make up the carafe will expand.
- One at a time
Always clean one by one, as two jugs together can damage each other with their hard outer surface coating.
- Use a soft sponge
Apply a soft sponge to clean the glass beer mug and a toothbrush for ceramic mugs. If cleaning is necessary, soak the jars in soapy water for 5 minutes, but avoid scrubbing hard to clean.
- Rinse with clean water.
Once you’ve finished cleaning the pitcher, rinse it well under cold water. Once it is clean, pat it dry with a soft cotton towel.
- Air dry
Beer mugs should air dry before closing the lid. This will prevent any fungal growth on the inside walls of the jars. The only exception to this procedure are wooden jugs, which should never be completely submerged in water.
A proper and well-designed cleaning, display and handling regimen for a German beer mug helps preserve your precious collectible artwork for future generations.
