VIDEO: Glasses have a white veil

How do you get rid of the white haze your glasses have? This is the question many people who clean their glasses in the dishwasher will ask themselves.

How to remove white haze from your glasses

• The white haze occurs when glasses are washed too hot. Their structure breaks and the light that shines through the glasses leads to the white haze.
• If you want to protect your glasses from this, you should only wash at low temperatures. Many dishwashers have an extra glass program.
• Salt and rinse aid should always be in the dishwasher to prevent limescale build-up. This can also make a gray veil.
• If the glasses already have a gray haze, polishing with a clean cloth sometimes helps. But that requires a lot of patience.

• The dishwasher should be cleaned at regular intervals with a special cleaner. Dirt and grease can also tarnish the dishes.

It is best to always wash new glasses at a low temperature, so that they stay beautiful from the start. Especially those who have crystal glasses should treat them lovingly; once the cloudiness is present, nothing helps.
