Kicking back with a glass of wine at the end of a hard day is lots of peoples idea of heaven. It’s not so fun however having to clean the glass afterwards, especially when trying to get them smudge and smear free. Dishwashers should be out of the question as they can do untold damage to fine glasses very easily. So which are your best options?

Hand cleaning. You could always choose to wash your wine glasses by hand in some warm soapy water. This will get them clean but often this leaves them with water smears and a soapy taste when you next come to use them. Additionally, if you place them on a rack to dry they often get left with a layer of soap scum around on the lip.

Glass cloth. Those people of like a drink quite often might like to get hold of a special wine glass cleaning cloth. Made from microfibre technology, the cloths do not do any damage to the glass and remove almost all substances. Best of all they do not leave behind fluff or lint that is very common with standard cloths. They can also be used on all glasses and dinnerware, and when they get dirty themselves you can stick them in the washing machine and they’ll come out brand new.

Cleaning balls. For wine enthusiasts who like the latest innovations, there is always the option of the amazing cleaning metal ball bearings. The little balls are made of stainless steel and can be used again and again. They work in combination with a little water int he bottom of the glass and by swirling them around the glass with you hand over the top, they will remove all dirt, grime and lint within 30 seconds.The balls can then be run under some water to remove the dirt from them and used time and again.
