How to get soap scum off of wine glasses?

First, run a sink of hot water with a bit of dish soap in there. Then add a couple of cups of white vinegar. Gently place the glasses in and let them soak for awhile. A gentle washing should take care of the issue. Don't use anything abrasive; it will scratch your glasses!

If it is being really stubborn, fill a container with some white vinegar that one glass at a time will fit in. Add the vinegar and the glass and let soak for at least a couple of hours and then hand wash and rinse. Repeat using the same vinegar for the rest of the glasses.

Also, try running a couple of loads in the dishwasher with the white vinegar added. Start the dishwasher, let it start to wash and then shut it off for an hour or so. Restart and let it complete the cycle. After that, look inside for build up of soil along the door edge (down at the bottom) and make sure all the holes in the spray arms are not blocked. Also make sure your water is hot enough to thoroughly dissolve the detergent you are using. Dish washers need water of about 160 F to properly dissolve the detergent and get the dishes clean. In an effort to reduce our energy bills, many of us keep our water heaters at a lower setting. Also, the type of detergent your are using could be the problem. My appliance guy only recommends the powder or the compressed powder tablets. He says the liquid has clay like additives that will block your filters, the plastic coated packets don't always dissolve and do the same. He's not a fan of the gels either.

But it might be as simple as just running 1 or 2 loads a month with a couple of cups of white vinegar in to keep the minerals from building up.

How to get soap scum off of wine glasses?

I tossed my brand new wine glasses into the dishwasher today, and for whatever reason the dishwasher left horrible residue/scum/hard water stains all over the glasses! So I washed them by hand and scrubbed the heck out of them and the scum stuff won't come off so the glasses look super foggy. ...

Spray it with white vinegar or wipe white vinegar on it. Let it set for a few min. maybe 3 or 4. Rinse and repeat as needed.

Whenever I ask a question, even if it's the simplest one, they cant provide me a good informed answer here. What happened to people who really take the time to answer..

get a bottle or three of soda water, pour it in a bowl deep enough to hold the glasses, let it soak for 5-10 minutes, then hand wash and dry.

Try Cream of Tartar. It gets almost anything clean. It works better than goo gone to clean gunk off of stuff. It's my favorite everything cleaner.

Wash with vinegar! Works every time.

Try CLR. It's usually good at cleaning hard deposits.

Superfine steel wool, like the one with 4 zeros. Try it on a small area first. I do all sorts of glass art and I use this to get stuff off glass and tableware...I don't see scratches from it but again, try it on a small area or something you don't care about first.
