Gently scrub: Using a microfiber cloth or soft sponge, gently wipe the glasses to remove any remaining residue.
Rinse and dry: Rinse the glasses thoroughly with warm water and dry immediately with a lint-free towel to prevent new water spots.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Store glasses in a dry, ventilated space to prevent humidity buildup.
Avoid stacking glasses tightly to minimize surface damage.
Handwash delicate glassware when possible to reduce exposure to harsh dishwasher cycles.
Variations:
Hard water booster: Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the soaking solution for extra hard water stains.
Essential oil touch: Add a few drops of essential oils like lavender or orange for a spa-like scent.
Polishing paste: For stubborn spots, make a paste with baking soda and a few drops of water, gently rub, and rinse.
