How do you clean your glass?

[BigBadJohn]

I recently found a small glass jar while I was out metal detecting. It's nothing fancy but a pretty cool design so I thought I'd try to clean it up and use it for something. I was able to get it clean but it still has a foggy film on it so the glass looks dirty. I was wondering what I could use to make it look new or at least newer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi bigbadjohn.I will take a shot.This is how i do it,all my bottles are also dug.One large bottle of C.L.R calcium,lime rust remover, pair of rubber kitchen gloves,baby bottle cleaner for interior& old tooth brush for exterior.F ill bottle and let sit for about 5 min,repeat process if nessesary for heavy calcium deposit or film. (be careful dont get in eyes) I have even used on ACL bottles (applied color lable) with light rubbing with tooth brush.Works well. Please post picture of before & after if you will,im interested in results.hope this helps,if C L R isnt to dirty,, pour back in bottle & reuse.saves money

That's what it sounds like to me. No way to fix that but an easy disguise is mineral oil or something of that nature.

 

[BigBadJohn]

I don't know what that is.

Sickness, not mineral oil.

Glass that's been exposed to chemicals, often in the ground, for a long period of time. This makes the glass cloudy.

The glass surface is etched by long exposure to some acids. That is, some components of the glass are dissolved differentially by acids like humic acids.
