      If you have a problem getting the red wine stains off the rim of your wine glasses, and none of the usual solutions really work, there is a product available at any supermarket called Mr. Clean's Magic Eraser, and it works quickly. It is nothing more that a white pad. Just pass it over the rim stains lightly, and presto, the red wine stains are gone. The Magic Eraser can be re-used many times. Wash your glasses first, you then use the pad.

      after washing in soapy water, dry off. Then, using a non-coloured paper napkin(s), polish glasses and glassware with metholated spirits = beautiful! The spirits evaporate also, so do not worry. This is a method used by international standards restaurants - a well kept secret is out of the bag!

      Add a drop of bleach and hot water to the glass and swirl. This removes all residue. It works great.

      Hot soapy water and ammonia. Let dry in empty dishwasher. If need be, use a paper towel on any spots. Works great.
