We have used ours multiple times since Christmas and have not noticed any problems. We do hand wash them, but I doubt we are doing anything different than you?!

The mugs have a lacquer coating and should be gently hand washed and towel dried. Suggest checking with the manufacturer regarding safety if the coating is coming off.

As a trained Executive Chef, I have used many copper utensils in my kitchen. With that said, you have to be very gentle with how you clean the mugs. Never place in dishwasher, and only use a non abrasive detergent to clean. Dry thoroughly before storing. Also, use a good copper polish like "Wrights", every so often to "protect" the finish.

I just know they need to be hand washed. If you put them in the dishwasher, that may be the reason. I have not had any problem with my glasses and I use them regularly.

Sorry. We gave them as a gift to brother in law and he hasn't seen that with his.

Stephanie, these copper mugs have a nickel lined inside with a laquer coating to keep them looking good and tarnish free. You will have to see if the clear laquer is coming off or if the nickel is chipping off. Try to see if it is due to a defect in the clear coat or nickel. If so see of you can return it due to manufacturing defect. Remember to wash in warm water with mild soap. No dishwasher. Best of luck.

I'm not sure. I use them in my light when I need it, every other day or so, but they seem to last pretty well for me. Not sure but I'd check to see if their is some kind of short in your light, or corrosion on the contacts. Also check the "good till date" and make sure you store them in a cool dry place.

My son has the problem of the adhesive wearing down, then the pads start separating from the glasses. We thought to do the same but decided not to because, we didn't want to get glue all over the frame and or if it did work, what do you do if the pads start wearing down? So we decided to just replace the pads when they loosen up. I hope this helps.

I don't wear glasses, but I used to (got lasik 5 years back and very happy with it!) So I'm very familiar with this problem. And yeah, I don't think these would seal with most glasses. Probably you should stick to the 2-part masks (safety glasses that fit over prescription glasses, plus a half-mask.) I know there also exist prescription safety goggles. My friend has some and he loves them. Depending on your prescription, they might be an option for you (I was too blind, so they didn't work for me.)

I would try some windex or some dish cleaner--- maybe even some eyeglass cleaner. Hope this helps!

Not now. There may have been a sticker when the glasses were new, but I cleaned them.

Wish I could help you with that question but mine are new and I have not had a problem with them. I would begin by contacting the company itself. Good luck with it.

Ours weren't bad, but you might need to rinse them. I know after about 6 months ours were pretty dirty and I just used soapy water and then rinsed them in clean water and they looked great again.

The ones I purchased and gave as gifts are still in full use without any damage. Perhaps you could contact the manufacturer through the internet for a helpful answer? I hope you will; perhaps you can help others if you find out....

Yes I am having the same issues. I have replaced it twice. I wrote the manufacturer and they sent me a new base. But they are not lasting more than 3 months. They told me that they make quality products. I believe they need to go to a glass with metal base.

I had the same issue. It doesn't really concern me, but I did discover that when washing them in the dishwasher if I use the hot presoak option the interiors come out spotless! I hope this helps.

Just took another look. U can't clean them if u r using the fire glass. They r actually changing color. Either get the darker color like u said or just replace them like I'm doing...

They do not appear to have scratch resistant coating. We've had them in use for over 6 months and they required replacement due to scratches, very similar to regular poly carbonate safety glasses, that when they receive too many scratches they are pretty much unusable. We use them in a manufacturing environment but they mostly are scuffed through storage and movement from lockers to end users. They did not hold up as we intended.

sorry to hear. it's annoying, especially if you're meticulous with these things! i'm not sure it's common (at least it hasn't happened to me). however, i do use a lens blower/duster, a microfiber, methyl alcohol cleaning liquid. see this useful link from Ken Rockwell (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/cleaning.htm) and more generic help from B&H;: http://goo.gl/L3ZE9. good luck. post back how you make out.

Often plastic lens eyeglasses have a coating on them. That is softer and scratches easily. Using this product on those glasses will make it worse. It will remove the coating. Yes I have tried it and found out the hard way. However, on untreated plastic, like safety glasses, it worked fine for me.

I noticed some have a purple or pink coating cuz I've ordered a few. I'm pretty sure it's only on the outside of the glass. Not sure the purpose but I've been using mine for weeks now and everything is fine. Sorry I wish I had more info. Hope that helps. Happy Holidays!
