Cleaning Your Wine Glasses Properly
Kicking back with a glass of wine at the end of a hard day is lots of peoples idea of heaven. The experience is somewhat marred however when you’re all done and the wine glasses need cleaning. Dishwashers are not really an option as they can damage the glass and make them go cloudy, so what other options do you have available to you?
Clean by hand. You could always choose to wash your glassware by hand in some warm soapy water. This will get them clean but often this leaves them with water smears and a soapy taste when you next come to use them. On top of this, the lip of the glass often gets left with a scum rim around the lip if they are left to dry on a rack.
Glass cloth. Those people of like a drink quite often might like to get hold of a special wine glass cleaning cloth. Made from microfibre technology, the cloths do not do any damage to the glass and remove almost all substances. They won’t leave any lint of fluff in the glass which a common let down standard cloths. They can also be used on all glasses and dinnerware, from whisky glasses to crystal jugs, and when they get dirty themselves you can stick them in the washing machine and theyll come out brand new.
Glass cleaning balls. If youre a real wine connoisseur you might enjoy using metal cleaning balls to get your wine glasses spotless. The little balls are made of stainless steel and can be used again and again. Stick them in your glass with a couple of spoonfuls of water and then swirl them around for thirty seconds. They will pick up the dirt from any hard to reach places and leave you glasses sparkling.After they have been used they require just a quick rinse under water before they ready to be used once more. These are particularly good for cleaning things like glass vases and decanters, where its not always easy to get to the deep areas of the bowl by hand or brush.
