Getting glasses "Beer Glass" clean

[KartRacer54]

I have many older beer glasses that have the normal accumulation of surface crud that I cannot remove. Anyone have a procedure to get old glasses Beer Glass Clean ?
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried soaking in water and vinegar? Gets most anything off the glass for me.

Scrub with dry salt...

We've go soft water so don't suffer with this per se BUT have you tried soaking in PBW ?

Just to be clear, you're not talking about surface abrasions that can look like a dirty glass, right? Because you won't be able to scrub that out.

Otherwise, try CLR. The stuff is nasty. It will hurt your hands and burn your lungs... But there's not much it can't clean.

Thanks all, I will give these a try. Have used hi temp in dishwasher and sanitize stating but not any better. No not the scratched glasses, just trying to get the glad so it does not kill the head.

Citric acid. Works great but not terribly dangerous.

Can it be bought locally, don't think I have ever checked that out.

The most effective thing I've found is table salt!

Just moisten the glass, and sprinkle some salt in it. Using your hand, "scrub" it like you're using scouring powder all over the inside and up over the rim. You'll have to do the outside, too, if the glasses have been in the dishwasher. Then rinse with clean water, and it should get it bar clean.

Not sure about locally. I order mine online in 5 pound bags. It's great for cleaning with hard water and not leaving hard water spots. We put a scoop in every load of dishes. 5 pounds should last a while.

If you're looking for citric acid locally try a bulk food store, they often stock it

I have had good luck just putting them in a tub of PBW solution over night.
