How to Get Rid of Etching on Glasses

The automatic dishwasher certainly makes cleaning up after a meal easier. But after many cycles, you may notice your glasses developing a cloudy, etched appearance. This film makes your glassware less attractive to visitors and family alike, and can be difficult to remove using traditional washing methods. If you want to get rid of the dishwasher etching left on your glasses, you must equip yourself with the right supplies. Generally, glassware etching is not permanent, but it requires a bit of work to clear up.
