What is the best way to avoid water spots when hand washing a crystal wine glass?

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure so . . .Rinse the glass in as hot of water as you can stand and/or try to dry them immediately. In your home, it is easy to dry them by hand to avoid spots. In a bar however where you go through a lot of wine glasses you use a good rinse agent in the water, then after they air dry, you use a cotton terry cloth and ';polish'; them before hanging them in the rack.





If the stains are stubborn, run a pitcher of hot water and hold the wine glass inverted over the water so that the steam fogs up the glass, then polish with a dry cloth.What is the best way to avoid water spots when hand washing a crystal wine glass?
Wash and dry the stemware as normal. Before storing, run very hot tap water in the sink. Hold the wine glass upside down over the water to fog it up a little. Wipe off the steam with a soft, lint free cloth.What is the best way to avoid water spots when hand washing a crystal wine glass?
Try rinsing with hot water and then place upside down on a Cotton towel, that should work because I had the same problem!
I have found the best way to dry crystal wine glasses without any spots is to first shake off the excess water, then use a ';mircofiber'; cloth. They are used on camera lenses and eyeglasses to clean them. They work great on crystal.
Hand washing is the best but then rinse (hot water) thoroughly, I mean thoroughly and then hang the wine glass so that excess water runs off.
Rinse very thoroughly in hot water and immediately dry with a soft cloth or paper towel.
if you have spots- Use a cloth dampened with vinegar
Use hot soapy water, rinse well and dry with a lint free towel while still hot.





Smart people know to never let crystal touch the bottom of the sink!

Dry the glass right away.
