Definition: Glasses (care of)

Finally, if you use the dishwasher for everyday glasses, it is essential to open the dishwasher door as soon as the programme ends. Slow cooling and water quality are often the cause of irreversible whitening of the glass surface. Water quality is naturally crucial for maintaining the shine of the glass. Hard water quickly makes the glass dull if this precaution of immediately opening the dishwasher door is not taken.

Properly washed glassware should be free of residual odours, lipstick marks and other fingerprints. A final check is necessary by looking at the glasses when setting the table.
