QuestionI cannot get the moisture out of good crystal vases with small openings. What should I do?Community AnswerTurn it upside down (so that any water can come out), and when you put it upright, try wrapping a chopstick in a few layers of paper towel (use a rubber band to keep it in place) and wipe away as much as you can. Using a hairdryer on the cool setting should get rid of any leftover moisture. You can also leave the vase upside down on a drying rack to air dry.

QuestionI was advised by the manufacturer to soak a crystal pitcher in a 50/50 solution of water and vinegar before using.
