I have some lead crystal glasses that have been washed in a dish washer and have a milky hard scum on them?

I think this is known as blooming or something similar. Is there any way of restoring these glasses to their former state or are they destined to be recycled?I have some lead crystal glasses that have been washed in a dish washer and have a milky hard scum on them?
A couple of things you can try; first soak them in white vinegar. Take a soft bristle brush to get into the grooves, cuts in the pattern if you need to.





I have also heard that denture cleaning tablets work but I always use the white vinegar 'cause I have it and it's cheap!





After this, try to keep them out of the dishwasher; it's just plain not good for lead crystal on a regular basis. If you must, use the ';delicate'; setting, sometimes called china/crystal.I have some lead crystal glasses that have been washed in a dish washer and have a milky hard scum on them?
Try soaking them in vinegar. That may remove the deposits. Next time you wash them, cut back on the amount of detergent you use and you should be ok. Hope this helps.
Never put good stuff in the dishwasher!! Try either soaking them in hot water and soda crystals for a while then buff and polish them, or maybe t cut could restore the finish.
that is because you live in a hard water area,


always wash crystal by hand, and dry with a tea towel .straightaway.
You have wrecked them, unfortunately. Never put crystal in a dishwasher (or aluminium).
