Replacing your vase's downstem can be tricky. If you don't feel comfortable doing this, we will be happy to FaceTime/video chat to guide you through the process!
- Carefully pull the broken stem out of the vase. Wearing thick work gloves - leather or rubber grip hands - are best for this job).
- Remove old grommet carefully.
- Clean the vase with isopropyl alcohol and a little salt if needed (to remove any sticky residue inside and ensure ease of replacement stem).
- Rinse the vase out with warm, soapy water.
- Carefully (still wearing your work gloves) insert new rubber grommet.
- Dip your new downstem in a little soapy water. We use Dawn dish soap & warm water in a cereal bowl for this part) and gently insert, using evenly distributed pressure.
Your My Bud Vase™ will be good as new!
