I am re-ordering after using my first bottle up...
I would award this product 5 stars if it was less expensive. I tried one bottle which lasted me a good long while. Then I found a bottle of another glass/crystal cleaner at a wine shop and bought it thinking it was the same product with a different label on it. That was a wrong assumption. The second glass/crystal cleaner could have been water for the appearance and effectiveness of it. I've re-ordered two bottles of the Stem Shine this time so I won't have any downtime in getting my glasses clean.
I hand wash all my crystal and favorite glassware in Stem Shine and they all sparkle. Any suds that are created seem to break down to nothing instantly in the rinse water. I wash my glasses first, the Stem Shine ends up in my dishwater and everything I wash afterwards from glass to metal to plastic gets really squeeky clean. I love this product and wish it came in a gallon jug.
Prior to washing the wine glasses I also use one Efferdent tablet per red wine glass...
Sparkly clean
Ever since I started using Riedel crystal glasses I've struggled with the water spots, lines and other marring on the glasses after washing. I've tried using hot vinegar, mild abrasives and even ammonia. Despite polishing and immediately drying, my glasses would always present hard water marks. I read about Stem shine and with the very first use most of the spots and hard water deposits were gone, despite several years since the marks first appeared. It seems very mild, and I only used a drop of liquid and let it soak for a while. After washing and rinsing I held the glass up to the light and to my glee it was sparkling clear crystal again. I'm also using the Brushtech Crystal Stemware Washing Brush to clean my wine glasses gently and thoroughly. This combination has yielded my glasses and stem ware to restored, perfect condition. I wish I knew about these items sooner. I highly recommend these products to those like-minded, obsessively tidy individuals who like me, insist upon order...
Good stuff
I've been using the Stem Shine products for about three years now (both the dishwashing and the liquid versions). I love them both. Occasionally the dishwashing version let's me down -- I suspect residual dishwashing detergent from the previous loads.
Other than the high cost of the detergents, I would recommend them.
