  • Cleaning Your Glassware...?

    I wanting to see how everyone cleans there glassware
    here, tricks of the trade N' whatnot. I have a set of CAL
    glass in/out lily pipes that I did not tend to for a while. So a few days
    ago I pulled them off and let them soak in a bleach and water mix for a couple
    of days. I took them out today and put them through the dish washer and it seems
    that all the gunk is gone but both pieces now have a brownish hue that seems to
    not want to come off and the white white scripting CAL has turned brown. Any
    ideas here guys and/or things to try on them?

    Use a larger mix of bleach and go to the crafts store to get some of those giant fuzzy pipe cleaners.

      pickling vinegar also helps.

        I've tryed the bleach a few times and hydrogen peroxide, nothing
        worked to get that brown haze and the CAL white script back.
        I then just had it and diped them in CLR for a few sec. That stuff took off everything
        I mean all the discoloration and bright back the white CAL script back. God know how
        toxic this stuff is so I'll be soaking and washing these glasswares for some time till I
        use them again in a tank.
