I've treasured the crystal glasses my grandmother handed down to me, saving them for special holiday occasions. Since they're not used daily, they often develop a cloudy tarnish that dulls their beauty.
Luckily, she shared her time-tested method to bring back their sparkle effortlessly: cleaning crystal glasses with baking soda. Here's how it works:

1. In a container, add 3 tablespoons of baking soda.
2. Pour in the equivalent of 1/2 glass of water.
3. Mix well to create a liquid solution.
4. Dip a clean sponge into the solution.
5. Gently rub the soft side of the sponge over the glass surfaces.
6. Avoid scratching by rubbing very lightly.
7. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
And there you have it! Your crystal glasses are restored to their full shine :-)
Simple, quick, and highly effective, isn't it? It requires minimal effort and costs almost nothing.
This trick works on all crystal items, such as chandelier pendants, too.
