Cleaning Drinking Glasses

[Mags22]

My inexpensive drinking glasses are looking a bit sad from dishwasher washing,can anyone suggest a product that would sparkle them up a bit? Thankyou for any advice

Use distilled white vinegar - apply with paper towel.

Scratches ?

The surface of inexpensive glassware can become damaged by cleaning in a dishwasher (the hot alkaline washwater actually etches the surface of the glass causing cloudiness - which is not reversible).
However, if it it merely slight deposits of hardness salts - use any dilute acid to remove it (like vinegar).
My money's on my first idea though.

I asked this a while back and none of the suggestions worked,

I did happen upon a stiff, non-scratch 'sponge' affair in Aldi this afternoon which removed some of the deposit though, only if you're looking for a project though.

We're going down the 'get new glasses and hand-wash them' route.

Really it comes down to choice, buy cheap glasses and pop them in the dishwasher, replacing when they get too bad; buy decent glasses and hand wash them. Or cheap glasses, I suppose

Can't help with reviving them, Mags but we bought a Finish Dishwasher Protector.
Haven't had it in use for a very long time but so far it does seem to be working. The perfect glasses are still perfect and sparkly.

soak in vinegar then rinse out and use a proper hard canvas glass cloth.

I never put my best glasses in the glass washer.

Never understood why folks get a dishwasher. Seems to me you could have washed up by the time you've loaded them in the machine.

Not me, Tots, just the workaday Sainsburys ones.

Where did Tots come from?
