Wine glasses, I love them. And because they sit proudly in the cupboard for most of the week, I like them shiny. But that's quite a task. I used to hold them above the steaming kettle sometimes, but aside from the fact that this is quite a dangerous task, I can't do that anymore since I – luxury animal that I am, I know – have a Quooker tap. But now my colleague Sharon, she is the editor-in-chief of this food website.

and goes high-fiving with sommeliers throughout the day, with this brilliant tip.

It is also known as the best-kept secret in the wine world. Wine glasses become remarkably clean and shiny when you clean them with Steradent. Indeed, the product you also use to clean dentures.

Pour water with a Steradent tablet into your wine glass, let it sit for a while, rinse well with tap water, and dry with a good tea towel.

It's also very handy for cleaning vases with limescale. You do need to let them soak overnight. Another tip for vases: mix toothpaste with warm water and use that to clean your vase., Happy cleaning this weekend.
