Quite frankly, we live in the 21st century. We don't beat our clothes against rocks anymore so why are we washing dishes by hand when they can easily go in the dishwasher? I still get fine head retention.

Yeah the painted logos can fade over time. But if I love a glass that much for the logo I'll buy a second and store it someplace as a replacement. That also helps when the girlfriend has the case of the butterfingers...

Quite frankly, not everyone has a dishwasher.

Also, your solution of buying a second glass to replace the first one, which you are knowingly fucking up, is sort of silly.

I usually use a super tiny drop of soap and a sponge. I know soap can cause problems but I usually drink when I eat dinner so there are usually marks where my mouth touches the glass, that rinsing just won't remove. Then I rinse like crazy with water.

This, all the time. Run the cold water until it's icy cold and it leaves the glass all nice & sparkly, and then air dry. No spots or marks on the glass.

I do this too, but have been known to use the dw - either way I always give it a good cold rinse before I use it.

I'm a philistine: regular dish soap and warm water, followed by a rinse in cold water. But I do this for everything I wash by hand.

Cleaning? That glass isn't dirty is "conditioned"? :wink:
