Remove Burnt Grease from Glassware with Vinegar & Starch

Clean glassware the easy way: mix vinegar and starch into a paste, leave 10 minutes, scrub, rinse, and restore shine—no pricey cleaners needed. Eco-friendly.

Stubborn grease and baked-on residue on glass plates or baking dishes can laugh off regular dish soap. Before you consider replacing them, there’s a simple kitchen-cupboard fix that restores clarity without special cleaners or hard labor.

What you’ll need

How to do it

  1. Stir the vinegar and starch into a smooth paste.
  2. Spread the paste over the problem spots on the glass. Work it in with your fingers, a sponge, or a brush.
  3. Let it sit for 10 minutes so the mixture can get to work.
  4. Scrub the treated areas with a brush or sponge. You’ll see the grime lift.
  5. Rinse away the paste and dry the dishware.

Why it helps

The vinegar loosens and dissolves the grease, while the starch buffs the glass back to a clear shine.

This method is effective, safe for your glassware, and both budget- and eco-friendly—so you won’t need pricey cleaners or a shopping trip for new dishes.
