Do you store cups/glasses upside or downside?

[finneas]

I’ve always stored them upside and assumed everyone did - now I’ve come across people who store downside to avoid dust.

Which way do you do?

Upside.. they're in a cupboard ( no dust?)

Downside, they stack easier

Up, especially glasses to protect the rim.

Yes this

depends
the glasses/mugs that are in constant use are stored the right way up.
the ones that only come out if we have a house full of visitors are upside down.

Me - downside
DH - upside

It's a battle!

Up. Storing down can make the insides smell (especially if not completely dry) and the rim is being put on a shelf (not many wipe cupboards out and they can get a bit dusty).

Your cupboards magically don’t get dusty?

Always the right way up.

Always downside. Stops the ones at the back of the cupboard accumulating dust.

Downside ever since I found a dead spider in one.

Upside, Their in a cupboard so they don't get dusty

Downside because I've never seen a cupboard that magically repels dust😁

Up. Once worked with someone who insisted on down, in a cupboard, as 'mice could climb inside the cups'.🤔

Upside, to make sure there is no smell if the mug / glass is not bone dry.

Downside if I'm somewhere with cockroaches, upside to stop any damp if not.

Upside, to protect the rims, esp for glasses.

Up. They smell nasty otherwise.

Up, it weakens the glass if stored upside down as the rim is the weakest point, not designed to have the weight of the glass on it.

I've just seen this debate on FB and was surprised at how many said downside.
Upside, quick rinse before use.

Upside down- after googling it seems to be the consensus

Upside - otherwise the rim that is literally going to be in your mouth is touching the cupboard/shelf surface.

Upside. They're in a cupboard with a door and in constant use.

Upside so that we can precariously balance mugs inside one another, defying physics as they begin to acquire an unfathomable lean to one side without actually crashing, like all good households do, surely?
