To protect the crystals as much as possible, the use of a soft wash bag is recommended.

General Care Instructions

A light layer of dust is most easily removed with a clean, dry and antistatic cloth. To avoid unsightly fingerprints on the crystal, wear white cotton gloves during the cleaning process. For heavier dirt, lukewarm water with a little dishwashing detergent will suffice. Ideally you should use a damp and clean microfiber or thin, lint-free cotton cloth. Gently wipe each individual crystal and dry with a clean cloth. Again, wearing white cotton gloves is recommended. When cleaning with moisture, make sure to use cleaning agents that do not damage the surrounding material. By correctly cleaning your Swarovski crystals, you will restore their full reflectivity.

Cloth

Not following Swarovski care instructions can damage the product and thus lead to damage of textiles or other damage. Please note that with all standard washing processes (whether carried out by a household washing machine or via dry cleaning) the rotation of the drum places significant mechanical forces on the textiles. The most important factor in ensuring a secure wash is correctly applying the product, without compromising its adhesion. The larger the product employed, and the more products are applied next to each other, the greater the risk of damage. Swarovski products must be handled with suitable care.

In general, it is recommended that a soft wash bag is used and that the washer drum is filled to protect against damage. To maintain the quality of crystals from Swarovski, the following is also important: before washing, turn items of clothing inside out, select a gentle wash cycle, and use a mild detergent. According to DIN EN ISO 3758, our care instructions list all product groups, meaning each product used by customers must be assessed separately with regard to its washability and suitability for its purpose/the end product. The recommendations given by Swarovski reflect our current level of knowledge. Swarovski uses these recommendations to decide on the suitability of the product for textile applications. Customers are solely responsible for defining the recommended cleaning process for the end product, and must consider the care advice of Swarovski and any other manufacturers in doing so. The type of shape, cut, surface effect, and size, as well as the weight of the application and the quantity of crystals used has a significant impact on the cleaning process to be followed. To avoid all risks, customers/textile cleaning companies should remove any large crystals, buttons, etc., that have been stitched on before cleaning, and stitch them back on again afterwards.

Laws, Regulations, Norms, and Standards

The composition of loose and forward-integrated crystals in the Advanced Crystal standard is compliant with regulatory industry norms and laws regarding the restriction or prohibition of certain substances for finished products in the most relevant segments of our customers' businesses. Further information can be found at swarovski.com.

Warning Notices

General Warning

Loose crystals may present a small parts hazard to young children, particularly children under three years old. Depending on the size of the crystal and any attached material (such as glue, fabric, etc.), children may choke on, inhale, swallow, or insert the crystal into their noses. Magnetic products with crystal applications pose a particular risk of serious intestinal injury if ingested. The application techniques as stated in the Application Manual do not guarantee that crystals will not come loose or chip. For each application, the manufacturer must determine whether the product meets the relevant requirements related to small parts hazards and assess any risk it may pose, in particular to small children. Failure to follow Swarovski's care instructions may result in damage to the crystal, which could pose a risk of laceration or other harm.

Warning for Tableware

Application of loose crystals to tableware presents a potential risk of aspiration, choking, swallowing, or tooth damage should crystals become loose. To reduce this risk, crystals should never be applied to any tableware surface likely to come in contact with food or the mouth, and crystals should never be placed on any tableware intended for use by children. Tableware with crystals intended for decorative use only should be marked as such. To avoid dishwasher damage, tableware decorated with crystals should be washed by hand. The application techniques or suggestions in this manual do not guarantee that crystals will not come loose. For each application, the manufacturer must determine whether the product meets relevant requirements related to small parts hazards or use in food contact items and assess any risk it may pose to users. The use of crystals (which may contain restricted substances deemed hazardous under local laws) and adhesives on tableware is subject to legal restrictions in specific countries. The customer is fully responsible for complying with these country-specific provisions and shall defend, indemnify, and hold Swarovski harmless from any and all third-party claims based on product liability or otherwise relating to uses of Swarovski products and waives all its own claims against Swarovski.

Notice for Application on Packaging

The use of crystals that may contain substances like lead, cadmium or hexavalent chromium, on packaging is subject to legal restrictions in specific countries including but not limited in regard to the total content of substances based on the proportion between crystal mass to the remaining weight of packaging. The customer is fully responsible for complying with these country-specific provisions and to pass on this information to his customers.

Care Instructions

Failure to follow Swarovski's care instruction may result in damage to the Swarovski product, which could pose a risk of laceration or other harm. Please be informed that all conventional laundering processes (household washing machine as well as professional dry-cleaning) have a considerable mechanical influence onto the garment, which is based on the rotation of the washing drum. The essential requirement for a safety laundering process is that the Swarovski products are proper applied without restrictions regarding the adherence of the Swarovski products. The bigger the size of the used Swarovski product is and the more Swarovski products are applied next to each other, the more a risk of damage has to be taken into consideration. Swarovski products are made of or incorporate crystal and therefore must be handled with due care! Generally, to best protect the Swarovski products from breaking we recommend the use of a soft washing bag and to fill up the washing drum. Turning inside out before washing and selection of a gentle washing program, plus the use of mild detergents are important prerequisites to safeguard the quality of our Swarovski products. Our care instructions based on DIN EN ISO 3758 list up all Swarovski product groups as overview so that each used Swarovski product still needs to be judged in terms of its cleaning suitability for the intended purpose and finished product by the customer. Swarovski's recommendations are given according to the current state of our knowledge and Swarovski's determination of the qualification as textile application product. The customer is therefore fully responsible to determine the cleaning process applicable to the finished product, taking the Swarovski care instructions as well as those of third party materials into account. The variety of shape, cut, surface effect, size and application weight respectively amount of used Swarovski products are decisive for the determination of the suitable cleaning process. To be entirely safe customers respectively dry-cleaners usually take off Sew-on Stones, Buttons, etc. of bigger size before cleaning and re-apply them afterwards.

Unsuitable Applications

Crystals from Swarovski are intended for use in the fields of fashion, jewelry, accessories, textile products, and for interior décor. Due to their physical properties, crystals from Swarovski are unsuitable for other uses (e.g. gluing onto teeth, using crystals on or near mucous membranes, and other unsafe uses). The customer shall defend, indemnify and hold Swarovski harmless from any and all third-party claims based on product liability or otherwise relating to uses of Swarovski products purchased by the customer, and waives all its own claims.

Responsibility of User

Any oral, written, or test-based advice that Swarovski provides regarding techniques for application of its products are recommendations based on Swarovski's current knowledge and the information provided by its suppliers. Such advice does not discharge the customer from carrying out its own tests of techniques it proposes to use and their suitability for the intended application. The application, use, and processing of these techniques and products are solely the user's responsibility.
