As one of the easiest ways to remove cloudiness from drinking glasses is to prevent it from occurring in the first place, it's crucial to hand-wash and dry them correctly. Leave them wet and bubbly for too long, and suds and hard water marks will stain. This is where the Joseph Joseph DrySmart Folding Stemmed Wine Glass Drying Rack available at Amazon comes in handy.

Allowing up to four glasses at a time to hang upside down and dry thoroughly, the holder avoids glasses going cloudy in the dishwasher, while the rubberized grip rack protects the stems and stops glassware from scratching or smashing.

It also includes a built-in base to collect excess water for easy draining, and folds flat for convenient, space-saving storage when not in use, even if you only have small kitchen storage to work with.

With satisfied shoppers leaving five-star reviews, stating it's 'excellent,' 'perfect,' and 'compact, clever, and just what I needed,' making getting rid of hard water stains simple this holiday season.
