Cleanest glasses in town

I wash my beer and whiskey glasses with dish detergent and then rinse with lots of hot tap water. Look and taste fine to me!

 

I use the same soap, we wash all dishes by hand, no dishwasher in our house. My trick is to use our sink spray gun. I hold glass upside down spray it nice and good. Works like a charm crystal clear, never get any cling bubbles.

Edit: we use fragrance free seventh generation dish soap. That may be a useful piece of info as well.

 

Agree. Even if anyone has any commercial dish soaps they recommend to get the glasses clean and fragrance free, it would be appreciated! Thanks.

 

Just a cold rinse, two hot rinses, another cold rinse, and wipe down with a lint-free cloth or chamois. If it's good enough to get water spots off your car, it's good enough for your glassware.

 

I use Palmolive, you're soaking in it

 

Is that you Madge?

 

I sympathize. A dishwasher works well, but . . . . Until the mid 80s we did not have a dishwasher and did have untreated well water, and we just put up with bubbles on the glassware. A renovated kitchen cost us a lot, and we did get a dishwasher then. Wash with hot water and strong dish detergent (or oxyclean, as you suggest. Rinse using a small amount of distilled water.

 

I just rinse my glass with hot water right after I finish it and let it air dry. It works good

 

Modern humans seem to have a need to avoid simplicity, and embrace complications.

 

I do the same except I finish with a cold water rinse.

 

I can't recommend this enough https://www.amazon.com/CairnCleaner...ds=wine+glass+scrubber&qid=1613474569&sr=8-14 . I used this for all my glasses. Usually after drinking, I will rinse and fill my glass with water and set it in the sink. Before pouring a beer I will use this to clean out the glass. When it squeaks, it is clean.

 

I put a couple drops of grease-cutting detergent in the glass, then swab it good with hot water and a soft octopus sponge or whatever the hell you call it. Rinse well and Bob's yer uncle.

To get rid of clingy bubbles, rap the bottom of the glass sharply on the table top a couple of times. Then quickly take your WBAYDN photo and drink up.

 

This. And then maybe once every year or so I wash all my glasses with a 50% white vinegar solution to get any residue or mineral buildup off.

 

OP if you are looking to get glassware as clean as possible, the method you propose is, IMHO, the best possible way to get the job done. I doubt even if this thread goes ten pages a better way than that will be suggested.

That said, to get "beer clean glasses" requires much less effort and product. I use the weakest possible solution of dish detergent and warm water to clean glasses with a dedicated glass brush immediately after use, rinse really well, then do a cold water rinse-out immediately before pouring, Glass is always "beer clean" if I do this.

I'll bet your way comes out "cleaner", but I'm not sure my palate would be able to tell the difference between spectacularly clean and perfectly clean.

 

I don’t ever use soap on my beer or whiskey glasses, when I’m done I immediately rinse with hot water a few swirls, dry it put it away. If for some reason I leave an I rinsed glass out I use dawn and rinse thoroughly they air dry. Glass in mostly not porus , but I’ve seen picture glass and mirrors that were ruined by exposure, so long term abuse might ruin a glass with stains or a film that cannot be removed by anything I’ve ever tried. So rinse your glasses immediately with hot water and put them away.

 

I never use soap/detergent in my glasses either and just give it a good hot and cold rinse but given the OP is from Mexico that may not be the best advice for him.

 

How do you prop up that broken stem of the glass for the pic? Or should the pic also show the beer all over the table top? That procedure does sound risky.

 

What's the theory behind the cold rinse that many have mentioned?

 

It doesn’t burn your fingers. Lol
