Step 1
Soak the inside of the drinking glass with hot water and dish soap for 5-10 minutes. Simply fill the narrow rimmed glass with hot water and add a few drops of dish soap. It's important to do the water first otherwise you'll end up with suds. When the glass has finished soaking, dump 2/3 of the water out and move on to the next step.

Step 2
Press a dish sponge into the drinking glass using a table knife. The knife is able to reach where your hands cannot. Use the knife to move the sponge along the inside of the glass. Be careful not to scratch the inside of the glass with the knife. You can use the knife to help pull the sponge out of the glass when you're finished as well.
