Anyone have any solutions to removing these stains from glass? I've tried scrubbing it and it doesn't work. Not even 100% sure what it's from but it fades when the glass is wet and as soon as it's dry, they reappear.
Thoughts?

Not really new. I would say 9-12 months old. It's been used a lot as I love this glass.Are the glasses new?
It's typically cleaned in the dishwasher. We have well water and a water softener so could be hard water scale... I'll try the CLR, Thanks.Hand washed or Dishwasher? Could it be hard water scale? Could try some CLR to see if that clears them up.
Same questions as above.
Do you know if it's the inside or outside of the glass?
You could also try Bar Keepers Friend if you don't have CLR on hand.
Well that would suck! I think it MIGHT be the picture. When I'm looking at it in person, it doesn't look like etching to me but I could be wrong.Pictures can be deceiving and all that but to me it looks like the surface of the glass itself has some etching, either chemical or mecanical or a combination of both. Dishwashers tend to do that with time. If that's the case the only way to get rid of it is to melt down the glass and make a new glass out of it I'm afraid...
In my experience when dishwashers are involved (hate them, can't live without them, much like the other thing...) and no cleaner, whether acid or basic, can get rid of the "stains" then it's etching and it's permanent...Not really new. I would say 9-12 months old. It's been used a lot as I love this glass.

This is the inside of the glass.
I don't have CLR at the moment so i'll give the BKF a shot!
Thanks.
What confuses me though, is that we put ALL of our glasses through the dishwasher. That's never changed. And yet this is the only glass to have this happen.
High pressure jets of hot water full of suspended solid particles (the dirt from the glass- and tableware being cleaned) will cause mechanical abrasion of glassware. Dishwashers are great but you must accept the downside that your glass- and tableware won't last as long as they'd do if you hand-washed them.Otherwise, I don't know how the dishwasher would damage your glasses.
Any chance someone else is using the glass? Maybe stirring in chocolate sauce to milk? Maybe using a steak knife to do it?
