Another mom agreed, but found the special “glass cloth tea towels” to be better than the microfiber cloths.
Others said they put them in the dishwasher with rinse aid and they still went well.
But others disagreed, adding that their glasses “ always looked foggy ” when they were put in the dishwasher.
“I use a dishwasher and polish them with a rag and they shine,†another reported.
Others prefer manual washing.
“I wash mine under a hot tap with detergent. I just use my hands to clean them. Then I rinse them and hang them upside down on the wine rack, ” another mom said.
Another woman chooses to wash hers with soapy water and then rinse it with water and vinegar.
“I wash mine with hot soapy water, then I dry them with a tea towel. No streaks or spots, perfectly sparkling every time, ” one woman said.
According to experts at Wine Ware in the UK, crystal and glass wine glasses should be washed in the same way.
They recommend washing your hands with hot water first to get rid of any leftover wine immediately, leaving them overnight will make it difficult to achieve a crisp finish.

According to experts at Molly Maid, soaking glasses in vinegar for an hour can help them regain their former glory.
Once this has been done, the glass should be dried with a lint-free towel.
And if people choose to use the dishwasher, they should rinse the glasses with hot water when they go out.
Drying glasses immediately reduces the risk of streaks and water spots.
