can anyone advise what larder products(white vinegar, bicarb etc) can be used to clean up my crystal glasses. The bases have white scale marks on and desperately need a good clean up.

many thanks :)

    Try white vinegar and warm water and leave it for a few hours or as long as you can before washing the glasses.

    jazzycat - elona's tip works for me. I found that if it didn't shift the first time, it was because I hadn't left it long enough. ::)

    :DI tried the vinegar/warm water option and they have come up a treat. I left them soaking overnight.

    thanks for the advice :D
