Default Is there a way to keep drinking glasses clean and clear...

Is there a way to keep drinking glasses clean and clear...


...While still using a dishwasher?


I know that the best option is to handwash at all times. I do clean all my pots, pans and knives by hand all the time. But I would really like to know if there's a way to put our new drinking glasses in the dishwasher and still keep them nice and clear.

Is there a way?

Thanks!

dan

I wonder if there is an alternative to the extremely harsh dishwashing soap, still for use in the dishwasher.


hmmm...
thanks,
dan

If you don't have a chemical rep for your dishwashers then the best way
is to soak them in bleach and water over night....a lot of the mineral buildup
that causes a cloudy film that cannot be removed by simply washing them will come off with about a 80%/20% bleach/water solution...just soak over night.

As per Phatch is referring,
Minerals in water are usually the culprit for spotty dishwasher glasses.
Reverse osmosis and/or a water softener will help.

(that recipe you gave Even Stephen looks harsh!!!... )
