Question 1

Quality Assurance

Accepted Answer

At Plastic Glass Hire, we prioritize the quality and safety of our glassware. Most of our products meet CE standards for the sale of Alcohol (please contact us for specific details). The plastic material used is food-grade and complies with ISO 9001-2000 UKAS standards.

Please note that our plastic glassware may exhibit slight marks or scratches due to regular use, although we regularly update our stock. To maintain the quality, we advise against using scouring pads when washing the glasses.

Glass Return and Cleaning - Do I Need to Wash the Glasses Upon Return?

No, it's not necessary. In fact, we recommend against washing them to prevent potential damage from scouring pads. Simply ensure that all items, such as fruit, are removed from the glassware.
