So I thought taking care of my glassware was pretty simple, but here are some tips that might be useful. Some surprised me, but they really work!

Glass food storage containers.

To take good care of your glass storage containers, bakeware, glasses, etc follow these suggestions:

1. Avoid impact (yes, that was obvious!).
2. To avoid etching (the whitish film look) avoid soft water, high water temperature and too much detergent in the dishwasher.
3. Do not stack glasses.
4. Clean with non scratch pads and cleaners.
5. Check for rainbow hue on the glass container because that is the first sign of etching. If this happens go back to #2.
6. Put less dishes in the dishwasher for more thorough rinsing.
7. Keep water temperature no higher than 140 degrees.
8. Avoid picking up glasses in bunches.
9. Do not place cutlery in glasses.
10. Avoid temperature changes.

Now enjoy your useful, healthy and pristine glass storage containers!
