How To Prevent Dust From Getting in Your Glassware and Vases

You pulled out your vase to display those new flowers, and…sigh.

Did you spend a lot of time that you didn’t have cleaning out your flower vases from all that dust that settles on the bottom when they’re not in use? (And often, some of that dust seems permanent…it’s difficult to get down there!). 

Did you open a bottle of wine, and once you pulled out your wine glasses, you realized that it’s been a while since you had a glass of wine? 

We have the solution for both these issues.

Here is what you do.

Stemware, a carafe and vase - tops covered with Saran Wrap

It will take another minute of your time (but not more!) when you are putting things away. All you need to do is cover the top with a small piece of Saran Wrap.

That’s all.

Vases on a shelf - tops covered with Saran Wrap

You’ll have perfectly clean vases that are ready-to-go the next time you bring home that bouquet.

Same goes for your wine glasses or any glasses that you don’t use often. Think compote glasses and such.

No more stemware to rinse just when you were ready to pour that wine!

    Many cases can be stored upside down to avoid that issue too

    I store my vases (and my glasses, mugs, etc) upside down to avoid the dust. Things that can’t go upside down, I put a sandwich bag over the top
