Woman praised for simple trick to clean cloudy glasses

People are flooding to social media, divided over a TikToker's hack to get your drinking glasses sparkly clean.

You'd think there'd be nothing worse than the tidy-up after a messy New Year's Eve when you can barely see and are running on fewer than five hours sleep.

Prepare to definitely think about trying this at home:

However, things can go from bad to tragic if you manage to fully load your dishwasher, stick it on, go back to bed for a couple of hours and then drag yourself out to unpack it, only to find the wine glasses and tumblers haven't been properly cleaned.

Energy - both electrical and your own - ends up wasted, hours lost when you could've been in bed longer and you face another challenge - which your brain simply doesn't have the mental capacity to undertake right now - of how to un-cloud your glasses.

Fear not, because TikTok - as always - seems to have the answer to everything.

Behind TikTok account Purdy and Figg are two NHS nurses who started making their own cleaning products in 2018.

The account shares 'cleaning hacks' and ways to 'transform your home into a spa'.

The TikToking duo shared a hack on Boxing Day for how to get 'Sparkling glass' if your dishwasher is leaving your glasses a bit cloudy.

The video states: "Add a cup of white vinegar into the

cycle and a ball of tinfoil. Trust the process."

Indeed, Purdy and Figg aren't lying when they tell viewers to 'trust the process' as the glasses look dazzling after coming out of the wash.

Viewers have since flocked to the post to weigh in on whether or not they'd try the hack - some suggesting alternative ways to get sparkling clean glasses.

One user said: "Great idea."

"Wow!" a second wrote, while a third said: "Should I send this to my mum?"

However, another warned: "Dishwasher manufacturers do not recommend the use of vinegar as it’s acidic and may damage parts in the unit."

"Don't use the tinfoil !! it will break dishwasher, caused heater to break," a second wrote.

Others suggested alternative methods for keeping your glasses crystal clear.

One said: "Half a cut lemon."

"No the thing to do is make sure your rinse aid it topped up simple," a second suggested.

And a final advised: "Or you could just put rinse aid and salt in the machine."

Although Purdy and Figg responded by claiming their hack is 'cheaper and more eco friendly'.
