Q: What causes the white film on my glasses?
A: It’s usually mineral residue from hard water or etching from detergent and high heat in the dishwasher.
Q: Is it safe to use vinegar and baking soda on all types of glass?
A: Yes, for most everyday drinking glasses. Avoid on delicate crystal or vintage etched glass without testing a small area first.
Q: Can I clean all my glassware this way?
A: Absolutely! This method works for wine glasses, tumblers, jars, vases, and even glass bakeware.
Q: How often should I do this?
A: As needed. If you notice dullness, try this trick. For prevention, do a quick vinegar rinse monthly.
Q: What if the film doesn’t come off?
A: If scrubbing doesn’t help, the glass may be permanently etched. While the method won’t reverse etching, it removes buildup and restores clarity in most cases.
