How can I remove lime stains (white milky stains) from crystal glasses?
Crystal is very delicate, owing to the lead oxides used to make it dense and “sparkly”. The very lead oxide that makes your crystal reflective, causes the glass to be softer, and prone to scratches. Crystal should be hand washed, using warm water to wash and rinse, as this kind of glass is sensitive to temperature changes. I would start with the diluted vinegar on a very soft cloth. If the stains persist, try other methods, such as the denture cleaner or Lime Eater, saving the mixture of baking soda and lemon juice as a last resort, to avoid the possibility of scratches.
