If the area is clear when the glass is dry, you will be able to clean away the cloudiness. If it is still cloudy, the glass is permanently etched.\n</li><li>Use a sharp edge to gently scrape the cloudy area of the glass. If some particles come loose and some of the cloudiness scrapes away, it is a film that can be cleaned from the glass.

Soak the glassware on all sides in the vinegar for at least 15 minutes.\n</p><p>If you are cleaning a cloudy glass window or object that cannot be soaked, pour undiluted distilled white vinegar into a spray bottle and spritz the glass.
