Give your most special moments the most special care.
Special moments are always associated with a good glass of wine, surrounded by friends or family and taking the time to enjoy life. To round off your evening wine perfectly, with perfect glasses, Bosch dishwashers take extra special care of them. However, often washed, your glasses may become cloudy. One clouding effect is caused by glass corrosion.
Glass corrosion is a form of damage to the glass that cannot be reversed. It is caused by the washing-away of the surface of the glass. Poor glass quality, extremely soft water in the dishwasher, as well as high temperatures and long program cycles are critical factors in the occurrence of glass corrosion. Read the following tips to help you to prevent corrosion to your glasses.
Keep hold of your precious glasses.
Long-stemmed glasses are especially vulnerable in the dishwasher. Fine stems can easily break if they fall over during the wash cycle. To make sure they stay safe, our specially developed Glass Secure Tray provides extra hold and the best possible protection, not only against breakage but also against scratches.
Measure the hardness of your water.
When it comes to avoiding glass corrosion, the level of water hardness is an important factor. Soft water can dissolve mineral nutrients in the glass and cause ‘etching’ faster than with hard water. Use test strips to quickly and easily determine the hardness of your water. This allows you to select the correct descaling setting for your dishwasher and protect your glasses from low pH levels.
Rinse aid: adding the final polish.
To make sure that water drains optimally from your glasses to give brilliant and spotless drying results, your Bosch dishwasher adds rinse aid during the last rinse cycle. It also neutralises soap residue and prevents deposits of lime scale so be sure to refill the rinse aid dispenser when necessary for perfectly sparkling results from every wash.
Keep the temperature down for extra protection.
Keep your glasses safe by washing them the soft and gentle way. The 40º delicate programme will keep them from cracking while providing optimal care and perfectly hygienic results, all at the touch of a button.
