How to Clean Hard Water Stains From Drinking Glasses

Anyone with hard water knows how tough it can be to clean the rings and stains in the bottoms of your drinking glasses, particularly the frequently used water glasses in your kitchen and bath. Follow the steps below, and you'll easily clean those stains from your drinking glasses.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Quality dish soap
• Sugar
• Cubed or crushed ice
• Sponge
• Dish towel

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

2. 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!

3. 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.

4. 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.
