By Sushmita Sengupta

Sure, your wine glasses are some of the fanciest additions to your home bar, but cleaning them can be a hassle as they demand utmost care and attention. Here’s the right way to go about it. 

Tip 1

Run a sponge soaked in dishwashing liquid gently inside and outside the glass, you can use a cleaning brush too. Use minimum liquid, rinse the glass with hot water. 

Tip 2

After rinsing, allow them to dry up immediately to avoid soap and watermarks. Use clean microfibre cloth to avoid stains. 

Tip 3

To erase the wine stain on the base of the glass, place a small amount of warm water in the bottom of the glass and swirl it around.   

Tip 4

If odour is a problem, use white vinegar or grappa to remove a dark stain, such as that of lipstick.   

Tip 5

If using a dishwasher, make sure it is properly loaded. Place glasses firmly upside down, and ensure it is not rubbing against other dishes to avoid cracks.
