White Film on Glasses

RE: White Film on Glasses Post By Dene-Stone Pathway (Guest Post) (05/27/2008) I purchased some wine glasses at an auction, half of which had a white film that just would not come off. I tried CLR, Windex, warmed White Vinegar, bathroom cleaners.. EVERYTHING! Finally, just as I had decided that these glasses could not be saved, I noticed my glass cooktop cleaner among my cleaning supplies. I applied to both inside and ouside of glasses, let it dry to a haze, then polished off with a soft cotton cloth. It worked like a charm!

I put all my drinking glasses in there and it takes the white film right off. Then I put them back in my dishwasher to get the CLR off of them.

I've tried full-strength vinegar on a rag, and then a solution of 1:3 vinegar:water, soaking the glasses. (I put the solution in a pitcher, put the glass inside the pitcher, and put some solution inside the glass.) I've tried bleach and Soft Scrub. I'm getting ready to toss the glasses!

Just put some vinegar in a shallow dish and roll the galsses in the vinegar. It will come off right away. I put the used vinegar in an empty bottle under my sink, I have used it over and over many times.

It's the dishwasher powder you use. Watch certain brands. When I stay away from certain brands of dishwasher powders, my old Whirlpool dishwasher does great.

When you hear the water beginning to fill for the finale rinse quickly open the door and add 2 cups of white vinegar. It will do a wonderful job for you. Later rinses can probably get by with using 1 cup but that first one has a bigger job!

I've tried lots of different things to remedy this, but I find that adding 1 cup of white vinegar to the rinse cycle keeps the glasses clear. I also don't have to use jet dry any more because the vinegar does the trick, so it saves me money too!

I had a burnt tile in my kitchen that looked like a coffee stain for years. I used every chemical there was to remove it and finally gave up. One day I tried the Mr Clean sponge and it removed the entire spot. Report Spam or Abuse Request: Cleaning Chalky Film Off Glasses Post by lewis_admin (1319) | (12/06/2006) Profile | Blog! | Contact My daughter did not let me know that we were out of dishwasher soap and proceeded to use the liquid Jet Dry as soap. Every dish had a chalky film on it. The plastics washed clean after a few washes, but the glass glasses are still chalky looking after several weeks of use. I thought of trying to clean them with vinegar, but wasn't sure if that would help. Anyone ever deal with something like this? Tawnda Answers: RE: Cleaning Chalky Film Off Glasses I would think white vinegar would be the way to go. You could drench a rag with some white vinegar and try rubbing the glass and see if it removes the film. If that works you could try soaking them with a ratio of 1:3 vinegar and water for a couple hours, then take them out and clean with rag and it should remove the film. (05/08/2004) By Anne H. RE: Cleaning Chalky Film Off Glasses Yes, vinegar will work. Run your dished though a complete cycle and add vinegar to the water when the machine fills.You can even add the vinegar several times throughout this cycle This should take care of the film on the dishes! Sandy (05/10/2004) By Sandy RE: Cleaning Chalky Film Off Glasses Try soaking your glasses in white household vinegar. I would first run a load in the dishwasher with 2 cups vinegar and no soap. If this doesn't work, you will probably need to soak them for a few hours. This has always worked for me. Good Luck (05/11/2004) By J Walker Report Spam or Abuse
