How can I clean my Fenton Art Glass items?

Warm soapy water is effective for most cleaning but remember that if you wish your stickers to remain on, the soapy water will take them off. A variety of other cleaning products have been listed on internet discussion groups. We have not tested the methods listed below, but you can try them at your own risk:

• Goo-Gone - do not use on satin glass it may leave an oily stain
• Polident Denture cleaning tablets - may help remove rust stains if left over night
• CLR - suggested for the inside of stained glass vases
• WD-40 - do not use on satin glass as it may leave an oily stain
• Armor-All - suggested for cleaning Favrene and it should help to remove those white spots. It has also been suggested that Armor-All is effective for cleaning and shining satin glass.
• Soft Scrub - suggested for cleaning satin glass and particularly black scuff marks
• Zud Cleanser - make a paste, scrub with toothbrush, rinse thoroughly for satin glass
• Lime-a-way - also for rust stains
• SOS Pad - rust stains on smooth unpainted glass but be careful and never use it on satin glass
• Oxalic Acid - Has been used for really tough rust stains. Can be found at a hardware store in crystal form. Make a solution and let sit—may also require a little abrasion
• Whink - Also suggested for rust stains
