There are people who are deeply in love with kitchen chores. Washing dishes, to name one. But there are also people who, on the other hand, who loathe the whole ordeal of running their hands through greasy pots and plates. The latter for sure have already installed dishwashers in their respective homes to do the "dirty" job for them. However, it isn't all the time that households should rely on dishwashers. There comes a point in time that they have to go back to the basics, using a sponge to scrub relentlessly those kitchenwares - some of them really need special treatment, like the custom glassware.
Drinking glasses also grow old as we do. Those transparent ones can even get a bit yellowed with age, stained with tiny spots and can have a cloudy smudge on the brim. Bringing them back to their glory days, where they're still crystal clear, is fortunately an easy 1-2-3 step task. You'll just need some familiar tools for this: dishwasher detergent, rinsing agents, dish towel and rag, and vinegar.
For those who can't really get rid of their dishwasher, there are special cleaning and rinsing agents that can totally remove the stains off the glasses. But if these agents didn't work for some reason, then you would need to do the work by a hand instead:
Step One: Washing
The first step is to lather an ample amount of soap and bathe it in a basin of lukewarm water with a half cup of white vinegar. Wash your glasses in there with a dishrag. If you must know why on earth should you use vinegar, this one fraction of the whole formula is effective to get off stubborn stains like lipstick. Next step is of course to rinse every glass carefully. Afterwards, dry it right away with the use of dishtowel.
Step Two: Soaking
Moreover, to easily remove the thick stains, you have to soak the glasses in vinegar for an hour. After that, wash the glasses in warm soapy water. Once more, you need to rinse each glass and dry it with a towel.
Step Three: Repetition
Despite this efficient yet affordable method, the stains and spots may still keep coming back, requiring you to do the process on a regular basis. Use a rinse agent in your dishwasher regularly or wash your glasses in that warm soapy water with vinegar twice a month. Also, to conserve your time and energy doing the chore all over again, and to prevent stains, the trick is to patiently dry the glasses by hand instead of letting them dry on their own. You still need to do the same by the way, even when you're using a dishwasher. Most importantly, store the glasses in a clean and accessible cupboard.
