The last container, however, should only be filled with warm water. Once this is done, place the glasses in them and rinse them gently to remove all traces of vinegar. Then they are drained to facilitate  drying using a cotton cloth or absorbent paper. In the end the glasses will be shiny, like they were just purchased.

How to prevent the formation of halos

Before you get opaque glasses, however, you should think about their care and cleaning. Here are some  useful tips for those who have a dishwasher at home  . Salt is poured into the softener tray, which limits the hardness of the water and therefore removes limescale. This must always be cleaned, because otherwise the salt does not do its job as it should.

Then, if you use polishes,  it is better to use DIY ones  , perhaps prepared with citric acid. To prepare them at home takes a lot of time, so dissolve 150 grams of citric acid in a liter of warm water and that’s it. The mixture is stored in a glass bottle to use for each wash. All you need is a coffee mug to have shiny plates, glasses and cutlery.
