Good Product: Wine Glass Cleaning Brushes

Cleaning the inside bottom of a wine glass isn't easy. And unless you have tiny hands that can wiggle inside, you may want one of these brushes...

There are a lot of wine glass brushes on the market, but we like this one for its soft, flexible foam bristles that don't scratch or make us nervous that we'll break the glass. The one above is a goblet brush, and it's pretty big and bulbous. But there are long, loop-shaped brushes made for cleaning smaller wine or champagne glasses.

Buy them here:

These are especially helpful if you leave a wine glass sitting out overnight and have a crusty sludge in the bottom the next day. How do you clean your wine glasses?

Wine glasses are one of the few things in the apartment that get the paper towel treatment (trying to quit; buying recycled). Hot water, a bit of soap, and a paper towel or two have always done the job.

I am on the lookout for a paper towel substitute for things like this, though not something so specific -- if anyone knows of any good dish/kitchen towels that are quite thin and can get into places like this (or say, tall skinny shot glasses), please let me know!

@ Sexy Anteater, try a microfiber cloth. I got mine at Trader Joe's, but I'm seeing them pretty much everywhere now. That's how I clean my wine glasses, I just put a little soap on the end, shove it into the glass and twist around.

I had a problem with fruit flies last year, so I've trained myself and my partner to Never Leave Wine In the Wine Glass. :) We at least rinse them out at night, so a crust doesn't develop.

I remember reading somewhere that you are not supposed to use soap on wine glasses....just really hot water.

Anyone know if this is true? Or maybe just true if you drink lots of expensive wine that might get tainted by soap residue?

the sprayer part of the faucet with hot water never fails to get the crusty leftover wine out of a glass. Even after sitting for several days. Then a quick wipe of the rim to get the lip-scum off, and then upside-down on a towel to drip dry.
