Prevent them from breaking: Avoid these mistakes when cleaning wine glasses

Avoid abrasive materials such as steel wool or coarse sponges as they can scratch the thin glass. If you want to clean your wine glasses by hand, it would be better to use soft sponges or special glass brushes. If you prefer to leave the cleaning to the dishwasher, I recommend the next tip.

The dishwasher is a real godsend for clean wine glasses. Many models even offer special cleaning programs that work particularly gently. But be careful when removing it! In no case should wine glasses be sandwiched between other glasses or plates, otherwise the washing result may be poor; Cracks may occur on the floor and a difficult cleaning process may occur.

If you want to hand dry your machine or self-washed wine glasses, you should always act carefully. Avoid applying too much pressure to the lenses, especially the upper part. Some wine glasses, especially mouth-blown ones, have extremely thin glass walls that can quickly break if pressure contact is too tight.

Your guests have already said goodbye and the dishwasher has completed its cleaning task. Want to put away freshly washed wine glasses before going to bed? It is better to do this the next morning. It has happened to me a few times that I carelessly touched the top of a wine glass with the top base piece of the kitchen cabinet while putting things away, resulting in part of the glass breaking.
