[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 241393, member: 85"]If you are talking about the white cloudiness - that is called sick glass. It's lime deposit that stains the glass from water or liquid having sat for in it for a long period of time. Very difficult to remove and usually not completely successful. Several different methods: 1. A bottle (or something difficult to get your hand in) - Rice, with half ammonia and water and a drop of Dawn dish washing detergent. Leave sit and swish every time you walk by. May take a month or more. (I've even let it sit for a year in one particular piece) 2. A bowl (or something your hand fits in) - Make a paste of Bar Keepers Friend, use an old scotch brite pad with elbow grease. It acts as a polishing compound. (Adding: be careful on colored pieces of glass) Others have said, and I haven't ever tried: CLR If not going to use and only want it to be decorative, rubbing alcohol is supposed to mask it.[/QUOTE]
