People Are Discovering A Dishwasher Hack For Wine Glasses

I love a glass of wine as much as the next person — probably even more.

But the one thing I hate above all else is washing wine glasses. No matter how careful I am, I'll always inevitably end up smashing one in the sink.

Now, thanks to a new clever dishwasher hack making the rounds on TikTok, those days are now a thing of the past.

A common misconception is that all crystal or glass stemware should be washed by hand.

So long as your glasses aren't rimmed with gold, it's perfectly safe to put them in the dishwasher. As a matter of fact, Riedel even recommends it.

They say that the majority of breakages occur during hand-washing and that their glass is certified dishwasher safe for up to 1500 washes.

That's all good and well, but getting the glasses to fit into the dishwasher is a different story.

If you prefer a stemmed wine glass, you know full well that getting the dishwasher to close can prove difficult.

Oftentimes, this means having to lay the glass down at a precarious angle. Now, thanks to TikTok user amandajosefinaa — those days are long gone.

Amanda shared a video of herself discovering a truly incredible dishwasher hack.

If you open your dishwasher and pull out the top rack, you'll notice a small lever running alongside the guided track.

Pushing in on the lever releases a locking mechanism that will lower your dish rack.

Thus allowing you to stack your wine glasses properly and safely!

Coming from someone who breaks at least one wine glass a month — this is a gamechanger!
