Troubleshooting
Decanter has visible water spots after drying.
Ensure the decanter is completely dry before storing. Using a decanter cleaning brush or a soft, lint-free cloth gently can help remove spots. Allowing it to air dry upside down on a rack is the best method.
Wine appears cloudy after decanting.
This is most likely due to sediment from a very old bottle of wine. Decant carefully and slowly, stopping before the sediment transfers. The decanter itself is not causing the cloudiness.
Difficulty pouring wine into the decanter.
Ensure the bottle opening is aligned correctly with the decanter's neck. Pour slowly and steadily. If the wine is aerated too vigorously, it can cause splashing.
A slight residue remains after washing.
Use a specialized decanter cleaning brush or beads. For stubborn stains, a solution of warm water and a mild, unscented dish soap can be used sparingly, followed by thorough rinsing.
