washing glasses in PMM Wine glasses and cocktail glasses can accumulate in large quantities after a noisy feast. Rinsing them by hand is a matter of seconds, but achieving perfect cleanliness of glasses is quite difficult.

The fact is that after washing by hand and completely drying, dried drops and stains remain on the walls of wine glasses. You can get rid of these stains by washing your glasses in the dishwasher, but how to do it correctly? It is this question that we will seek the answer to.

Choosing dishes

If you have a dishwasher in your home, you should think about which glasses can be washed in it and which cannot. It is better to exclude crystal glasses. If the manufacturer does not directly allow you to wash them in the dishwasher, then it is better to replace them with glassware. Thin glassware is not suitable for the dishwasher; it is better to choose glasses with medium and thick walls. It will be safer this way, although connoisseurs of good wines “respect” glasses made of thin glass more. What glasses can be washed in the dishwasher?

Glasses for red wine.
For white wine.
For drinks made from sour grape varieties.

Flute.
Wine glasses.
Cocktail glasses, etc.

If you put glasses in PMM baskets just like that, next to ordinary dishes, they will most likely not be washed well and may even get damaged.They need to be folded correctly. The instructions will tell you how to put glasses in the dishwasher.

Place the glasses with their stems up.
If the glasses are very tall, they should be placed in the lower basket; if not too tall, they should be placed in the upper basket.
We secure the glasses with special holders so that they do not fall on their sides during washing. If your machine is not equipped with such devices, you can purchase them.

Holders can be stationary or removable. Removable ones are more convenient to use.

We place the glasses not too tightly to each other. There should be a small gap, at least a couple of millimeters. Other dishes should also not be placed too close to the glasses.
Do not combine washing very dirty dishes with washing glasses. The glasses will not survive intensive washing. Wash the dirtiest items later, with the second batch.
