I have tried soaking the stemware in vinegar, putting the glassware in hot water and adding Alka Seltzer, etc., but nothing has worked. What can I do to clean the set of glassware I purchased at a garage sale?

I have hard water as well, when my dishwasher is on the rinse cycle I pour a little vinegar in it and I have no hardwater spots. A lot easier than washing by hand!

Fill the stemmed piece with vinegar diluted with a little water and let stand about 20 minutes. Wash and dry.

First I found that the dishwasher leaves a lot of hard water spots so I now wash all my glassware by hand.
When I do find hard water spots, I use Lime Away in a spray bottle. A very small amount sprayed on the spot usual does a pretty good job.

Even easier- just fill the sink with water, pour in a glug of vinegar (maybe a quart or less?) put in the glassware and let it soak a bit. Then just wipe the scum off. We have incredibly hard water and I clean the film off our glasses every few months (well, maybe more often if company is coming and I want to impress them)

Easier still-fill the glass to above the mark with plain vinegar, Let stand overnight. If the mark hasn't dissolved fully, give it another day. I bought a gorgeous crystal vase at a thrift store for about 4 dollars that had a similar stain-overnight and the mark was gone!

Try a paper towel and white vinegar. The vinegar smell will dissapate as it dries

Good Luck!
