Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Quality dish soap
Sugar
Cubed or crushed ice
Sponge
Dish towel

Step1

Coat stained surfaces of glass with a generous layer of dish soap. Let sit overnight.

Step2

In the morning, rinse out all the soap and wash by hand or dishwasher as normal. Water stains should be completely gone, with no scrubbing!

Step3

If the glass has extra tough layers of build-up, put two to three tablespoons of sugar in the bottom of the glass. Add cubed or crushed ice and swirl around the glass repeatedly. Rinse.

Step4

If any stains remain, repeat Steps 3. Use a sponge to add pressure and assist the scrubbing properties of the sugar and ice. Rinse and wash glass as usual. Dry with a dish towel to limit water residue build-up.
