How do you remove limescale from cups and glasses?
Before even considering removing lime deposits encrusted on your lenses, it would be good to determine where these stains come from. As a rule, they result from the calcination of alkaline and mineral substances present in the water. The absence of rinsing liquid or salt in the dishwasher, the overuse of detergent during washing or even the hardness of the water (high lime concentration) often cause these unsightly white spots to appear on glasses.

At first glance, descaling glasses may seem daunting, but you’ll be surprised to find that there are several simple methods to make the job easier. Just pay attention to the following tips.

Here’s how to clean glasses in a simple, quick and effective way:

First thing to do: completely empty your dishwasher and run a short wash program with baking soda and half a lemon. Once the quick program is finished, check that there are no traces of baking soda left and that the dishwasher filters are perfectly clean. Then put the glasses in the machine, add a little more baking soda again and run a quick wash again.
NB: baking soda is known to fight stubborn limescale stains and descale various items. Not to mention that it has degreasing and whitening properties.
