With
so much information available online, cleaning Blenko Glass can be a
complex and confusing issue. Other
than mild household glass cleaners, we do not advocate one method
over any other for cleaning Blenko Glass due to liability issues. We
strongly urge collectors NOT to clean their Blenko Glass with
any strong acids, denture cleaners, toilet bowl cleaners or other
chemicals. Many Blenko pieces that were moderately dirty have been
ruined by improper cleaning.
While any cleaning method has certain risks
associated with it, Blenko is a soft glass and we only
recommend professional glass cleaning. Contact your professional glass
cleaner about benefits and risks associated with their
specific procedures. When
contacting a professional cleaner DO let them know that it is
Blenko and much softer than other glass.
Remember, even if you do have a professional do
the job, there is always a risk of further damage. |
