I was in an antique shop not long ago and asked the owner how she kept all of her glassware ( and some gorgeous chandeliers) so sparkly.
Her response..."Baking soda!" After you have thoroughly cleaned the glass place it in a clean rinse of baking soda and water and let sit for a little bit. Apparently it helps remove any mineral deposits and cloudiness you might get from your water. Rinse w/ clear cool water and hand dry (sorry girls!)immediately. Voila! Sparkle and shine!Who knew?!

Is there anything baking soda won't do? :)

Thanks for the tip, Bramble. I'll start cleaning up my glasses for Easter dinner!

Believe it or not, that makes perfect sense. My mother in law always wants to clean my engagement ring for me, and she has this "top secret" product....that turns out to be baking soda and a toothbrush. It makes diamonds sparkle, so why not glass?!
Just think of all of the roads there are...all of the things I haven't seen....yet. |

I just added enough to make the water look cloudy. That's not very specific...hmmmm, maybe a 1/2 cup to a full dish pan.

Cool tip, Bramble. Thanks! Any particular ratio of baking soda to water? Or just 'a dash', as my grandma used in cooking?
