Asked by Wiki User

Do not touch it, especially if you're barefoot. Go put some socks and shoes on and get a dustpan and brush, and cover your hands with rubber gloves. Carefully approach the area where the glass is, and brush the glass into the dustpan. Put the glass into a trash bag and carefully dispose of it.

How do you clean pyrex pan using house products?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Pyrex usually cleans up pretty well if you just let it soak then scrub normally (and repeat as needed). If there's material that you really can't get off and you don't have scouring pads (like SOS) you can use baking powder (like Arm & Hammer). It isn't unusual to have some discoloration around the edge on a well used pyrex :)

How do you remove cloudy film from glassware?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The cloudy film is most likely caused by hard water. If you don't normally use a Finish-type rinse aid in your dishwasher, this may be the time to start.

For dishes that are already cloudy, try acetone (fingernail polish remover) and then wash in mild detergent. Or, use a paste of toothpaste to scrub the film away. White vinegar may also help resolve the issue. If these fail, it is most likely because the cloudiness has been present for several cycles.
