Crystal: How to Clean Cloudy Glasses.
Glasses, vases and the like often cloud as a result of heat from the dishwasher combining with lime, calcium, rust or other materials in the wash water.
This dirty concoction of minerals eventually bakes into the glass's pores. Though common, the results don't have to be permanent.
Be sure to remove your rings and turn the faucet aside to avoid chips before you begin.
Here's how to make everything cloudy - look new again.
1 Apply a soft-scrub
cleanser
with bleach.
Squeeze onto a soft cloth and wipe the entirety of the inside of the glass.
2 Let the double old-fashioned (or wines glasses, or vase) sit for several hours.
3 Rinse thoroughly.
Rinse under running water; buff dry.
4 Still cloudy?
Pick up an inexpensive commercial calcium, lime and rust cleaner such as CLR.
5 Pour the cleaner into the cloudy glass.
Allow to sit for a minimum of several hours or as long as overnight.
6 Rinse thoroughly and buff dry.
