Hi Joanna, I agree you should always hand wash lead crystal, but I'm talking about your bog standard cheap wine goblets. We used to have to change the glasses every year or so due to this when we used tablets in the dishwasher, since we have changed to liquids we have never had a problem.Joanna wrote:Errr..if you mean the milky white streaks you get on glass over time, I think the opposite is true. This is caused by the discoloration of the lead content in the glass from dishwasher liquids over time, which is why you always have to hand wash cut glass (i.e. lead crystal).alexia s. wrote:"It stops the smoking that you get on glasses"
I didn't know that - thank you!!!!!
Sorry to be so boring.

Without really wishing to give Reckitts (Finish) products a free plug, I have found a neat little gismo which has been produced expressly to stop glasses from fogging in the dishwasher. It is available in the UK and in France, but not sure otherwise. It is like an elongated diamond in shape, and clips onto the dishwasher basket. It is calculated to serve about 50 cycles, and does seem to work!
