One of your most prized collector’s items for generations, the brilliantly embellished and ornate German Beer Mug requires extreme care and skillful handling of the valuable piece. Let’s discuss the vitals of proper display and cleaning of these beautiful vanity items.

pitcher display

Display your beer mugs with the lids closed as they prevent the aging process and ongoing damage compared to displays with open lids. Closed lids prevent oxidation of the inner body of the jug and thus stop the process of irrevocable staining of the jugs.

Vacuum Sealed Container Storage

All pitchers are man-made and age over time; For a longer, scratch-free, and blemish-free life of your carafe, protect it in the best possible way in a vacuum-sealed cover, which protects it from the oxidation process and thus slows down the aging process.

Avoid drinking beer from German steins

Beer lovers love to display and enjoy drinking their beer in beer mugs. The only fret is to stain and damage the beautiful piece of stone. However, the worst can be when it gets damaged while cleaning the part.

Do not clean in dishwasher

First, refrain from using a dishwasher. These have a constant flow of heat which causes the pitcher to dry out and maybe split or have a small crack. This is very challenging because the pewter mug, glass beer mug, or stoneware mug all encompass a different factor of expansion and contraction. Therefore, it is best not to use any type of automatic dishwasher to clean or rinse the jars.

hand cleaning

• rubber coating

When cleaning pitchers in the sink, first place a thick rubber mat with a liner at the base of your sink or tub. Second, cover the sides of the wash area for added protection, to prevent jars from coming into contact with the hard wash surface while cleaning.

• Fill the liner with warm water.

Fill the rubber pleated container with warm mild water and mild detergent for cleaning. Never wash with hot water as there is a possibility of expansion of the internal substances that make up the jar.

• One at a time

Always clean one by one, as two jars together can damage each other with their hard outer surface coating.

• Use an extra sponge

Apply a soft sponge to clean the glass beer mug and a toothbrush for ceramic mugs. If deep cleaning is required, soak the pitchers in soapy water for 5 minutes, but refrain from harsh scrubbing to clean.

• Rinse with clean water

Once you have finished cleaning the pitcher, rinse it well under cold water. Once it’s clean, pat it dry with a soft cotton towel.

• air dry

Beer mugs should be air dried before closing the lid. This will prevent any fungal growth on the inner walls of the jars. The only exception to this procedure is 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.
