When the flowers have died (boohoo!) and I try to clean the vase, it leaves a nasty 'water line' mark. What will remove this without spending a fortune? Thanks....x

And I have tried all the elbow grease a GLASS vase will allow!

Leave badly stained cut glass over night in a mixture of water , detergent and a few drops of ammonia. To remove lime deposits, fill the glass vase with distilled water, leave for a week, then gently remove the crust with a toothbrush. Here´s a little bit more information for you. If glassware such as a decanter becomes stained inside, put a tablespoon of silver sand , obtainable from a garden shop, and a week solution of warm water and liquid detergent. Swill the contents round, but check frequently that the glass is not being scratched. Hope this helps a little

I always clean my glass vases in bleach
I soak them in warm water in a bowl with some bleach for a few hours
Making sure the whole vase is covered then rinse well ,
My vases always come out really clean and sparkling

Leave to soak overnight in vinegar and water, any vinegar will do from malt, white and even white wine vinegar but for cheapness I'd use white.In the morning just empty out and wash in hot soapy water, no elbow grease required.

Plain white vinegar, cheap and cheerful. Just fill the vase past where the water mark is, let it sit overnight and it should come off quite easily.

Pour some ammonia in the vase & add hot water, then let it soak a while. You can also use an ammonia cleaner such as Top Job or Mr. Clean.

Leave it to soak in hot water and bleach (not boiling) for about 15 minutes then wash with a cloth and rinse.

Drop of bleach in the water and scrub a bit with an old toothbrush.

Warm vinegar should move it. Leave it to soak in the vinegar overnight.
