Sorry, but Oma or not, the only tip I can give you is to use your garbadge for the "Entsorgung".
ReplyDeleteOtherwise ask Mr. Mar to do it himself, because in any case he would do it muuuuuch better than you !
Accidentally breaking them. Ooops!
ReplyDeleteOnce the glass is etched like that, there is no remedy. Except the trash!
ReplyDeleteMaybe just keep one or two and dress one up and display it for him. Then he will be able to have his memories and you will get new glasses.

I bet that Hints for Heloise woman might know. I am not domestic, so I have no idea!
ReplyDeletePS. Pooh needs your vote, please
Well... I would speak to a glazier before being hasty. They MIGHT be able to wet sand it and resurface it... I just don't know. If they CAN, then I guess it would be a matter of how valuable they are to you and how much you'd be willing to pay to have them nice again! ;) Let us know if you find someone!
ReplyDeleteI have no idea! I'm not that domesticated. Although I basically hand wash all my glasses, especially my crystal!
ReplyDeletePerhaps a restoration expert might be able to help?
I have sunglasses that got a crack in them. I replaced them. But they were plastic. This isn't helping, is it...
ReplyDeleteNo remedy once it happens, I was told. I had the same problem and someone told me it was the dish washer detergent I was using. It also left a white film on my silverware. I was told to wrap the glass in potato peelings and then it might wash off - but it didn't.
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I did have some really good advice, my dear Mar...Unfortuneatly I don't have a clue! But I sure understand Mr. Mar's feeling about holding on to them....! What to do?
ReplyDeleteHandwashing! But I think once the damage is done .... bin 'em.

I guess I always go by the adage... Preventionis better than cure... cause I can never get things corrected after the damage.... so valuable glasses are always hand washed... Sorry I couldn't be any help....
ReplyDeleteYes, it's usually the dishwasher detergent that causes this, I've noticed it with some of our glasses too. It also dissolves the glaze on plates and mugs. I tell Mr M that if he wants to use the fancy glasses all the time that he has to handwash them himself. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou might try some possible remedies posted here:

Three looked plausible, imo...
"cigarette ashes (not cigar)"
"dvd/cd cleaner"
"silver polish"
Found that in search for repairing eyeglass scratches. Good luck.
