How do I get my drinking glasses, which have dulled with age, sparkling again?

Question

Also, if I were to buy a new set of glasses, is there a special way of washing them so that they never lose their sparkle?

Answer 1

I use white vinegar and HOT water... half/half. It seems to work.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Viniger and baking soda, fill sink or washtub with hot water add 1/4 cup of viniger and a 1/4 cup of baking soda, soak for about 10 to 15, minutes, Sparkling glasses again.

Answer 3

One trick that sometimes works -- I've used it on glass flower vases too narrow to wash inside -- is to get some of the effervescent cleaner used for false teeth. Fill the glass with water and drop a tablet in.

Answer 4

Two ways i have had success by putting the dull glasses in the dishwasher and put in a 1/2 cup of clorax bleech. Then another way is to put in along with the diswasher detergent a bottle of Tang powder.

Answer 5

cleaning them in a dishwasher will dull any glass...no matter what sparkle additive you use. Wash them by hand in hot soapy water

Answer 6

Actually I would buy new ones. They do tend to get that ring around them don't they . Try not to put them in the dishwasher if you want to keep them sparkling. Or if you have a very good one use a jet-dry.

Answer 7

wash them by hand and rinse in vinegar water, or a capful of ammonia will make them sparkle.

Answer 8

I think that you should just drench them in cold or warm water and then later use newspaper to clean them. That is what i would do.

Answer 9

A little spit-shine outta do the trick ;o)

Answer 10
