Brush away the clouds

Since we are in the cleaning mode. And by the way don't forget the green cleaning stuff mentioned earlier, here is a tip about cleaning up those clear water tumblers that have turned opaque.
Soaking glassware in vinegar works for awhile, but maybe you noticed the stains come back even worse. We found the same thing with the mugs we use for tea.
Try brushing the goop away with toothpaste. And actually the cheap stuff works better.
Get an old toothbrush and scrub away at the stains and the clouds and stains clear. Remember to use paste not gels.
And to prove the miracle of toothpaste, fix up your scratched CDs by polishing them with a small amount of paste and a soft, damp cloth.
It won't prevent cavities, but it might bring back that old Flock of Seagulls CD.
