That’s it. No scrubbing. The vinegar will break down the mineral deposits on its own.
After 2 minutes, take the glasses out and rinse thoroughly.
For a streak-free finish, dry with a microfiber cloth or paper towel.
The Result?
✨ Crystal-clear glasses that look brand new — no elbow grease required.
I was honestly shocked the first time I tried this. That dull film just disappeared, and my old glasses sparkled like they’d come straight from a store shelf.
Bonus Tips
- Really stubborn buildup? Soak for 10 minutes or warm the vinegar slightly before soaking.
- Prevent future cloudiness: Add a splash of vinegar to your dishwasher’s rinse compartment to fight hard water deposits.
- Don’t use vinegar on real crystal or antique glassware. It’s best for everyday drinking glasses made from standard glass.
Why This Works
White vinegar is acetic acid, which gently dissolves the alkaline mineral deposits left by hard water. It’s completely food-safe, non-toxic, and much gentler than chemical cleaners.
Final Thoughts
So next time you reach for a cloudy glass, remember: 2 minutes, no scrubbing, and a little vinegar is all it takes. Thanks, Nana. 💧✨
