Learn how to clean and maintain your Jars Céramistes ceramic goblets, including the gobelet bleu nuit and gobelet l cachemire, to preserve their enamel and beauty.
Quick answer
Hand wash your Jars Céramistes ceramic goblets with mild soap and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive scrubbers and dishwasher cycles to protect the delicate enamel and craquelé finish.
Why hand washing is essential
The beauty of Jars Céramistes goblets lies in their handcrafted enamel, which can include fine craquelé patterns, glossy interiors, and satin exteriors. Dishwasher detergents and high heat can dull these finishes over time. Hand washing gives you control and preserves the artisan character.
Handling stains and residues
Coffee, tea, or red wine may leave temporary marks inside the glaze. A gentle soak in warm water with a drop of dish soap usually lifts them. For stubborn residue, use a paste of baking soda and water applied with a soft cloth—never a scouring pad.
Step-by-step cleaning routine
- Rinse immediately after use: Run warm water through the goblet to remove loose particles. Do not let liquids dry inside the cup. This prevents stains from setting into the enamel.
- Wash with mild soap and soft sponge: Apply a drop of mild dish soap to a non-abrasive sponge. Gently clean the interior and exterior in circular motions. Avoid metal scrubbers or rough pads. Abrasive tools can scratch the glaze and dull the shine.
- Rinse thoroughly and towel-dry: Rinse all soap residue with warm water. Dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth. For goblets with satin exteriors (like the gobelet l cachemire), this prevents water spots. Air-drying can leave mineral deposits; towel-drying keeps the finish even.
Products mentioned in this guide
- gobelet bleu nuit: Gobelet bleu nuit features a finely crackled enamel (émail craquelé) in midnight blue and grey. The craquelé surface is sensitive to harsh scrubbing; always use a soft sponge to avoid damaging the crackle pattern.
gobelet bleu nuit - gobelet l cachemire: Gobelet l cachemire has a crackled glossy interior and a satin white exterior, with hand-sprayed enamel. The satin exterior can show water spots if air-dried; towel-dry immediately to maintain its matte finish.
