We rinse them with the faucet washer and when there is a wine residue we use a carboy brush...I have given them a good scrubbing with the brush, but what we have is just a over all film beginning to form.
I use Iron Out and other products on the dishes in the dishwasher and they come out sparkling as well as the dishwasher is gleaming white...maybe one day I will bite the bullet and try some on a carboy and then rinse really really really well.
Has anyone elsehad the hardwater problem??? The water tastes really good and make great wine....it just has calcium in it...no iron.
