Kicking back with a glass of wine at the end of a hard day is lots of peoples idea of heaven. The experience is somewhat marred however when you’re all done and the wine glasses need cleaning. Dishwashers are not really an option as they can damage the glass and make them go cloudy, so what other options do you have available to you?

Hand cleaning. You could always choose to wash the wine glasses by hand in some warm soapy water. This will get them clean but often this leaves them with water smears and a soapy taste when you next come to use them. Additionally, if you place them on a rack to dry they often get left with a layer of soap scum around on the lip.

Glass cloth. If you are an avid wine drinker then you might want to invest in a high quality wine glass cloth. These are made of microfibers that do not scratch the glass and remove all oil, dirt and moisture. Best of all they do not leave behind fluff or lint that is very common with standard cloths. They can also be used on all glasses and dinnerware, and when they get dirty themselves you can stick them in the washing machine and they’ll come out brand new.

Glass cleaning balls. For wine enthusiasts who like the latest innovations, there is always the option of the amazing cleaning metal ball bearings. Because the balls are constructed from stainless steel they will never rust and will last you a lifetime. They work in combination with a little water int he bottom of the glass and by swirling them around the glass with you hand over the top, they will remove all dirt, grime and lint within 30 seconds.  You can then rinse the balls off with water and they are good to go again.
