Which way do you store glasses in the cupboard?

Upside down so they don't get dusty or right side up so the lip doesn't touch the surface of the cupboard? I think right side up but DH thinks the other way.

Upside down but don't know why really.

differentID · 02/01/2009 12:29

I prefer upside down, dh prefers right side up.

Could you turn them upside down but put them on some kitchen paper?

mine are rightside up. They don't get dusty.

right side up

nancy75 · 02/01/2009 12:31

rightside up, they smell funny if upside down

upside down, wine glasses are more stable that way.
I wipe out the cupboards regularly, so don't worry about the rims

Upside down.

AndATigerschickInAPearTree · 02/01/2009 12:32

Right side up - but if they are ones that we don't use very often I usually give them a quick rinse before using them.
I'd rather do that than fill them with expensive booze and then discover the dust floating on the surface!!

our cupboard seems to get regularly empty ie we use them all often so they dont get dusty. i am not quite so good at cleaning out the cupboard! so right side up in this house!

right side up now that we (finally) have fairly dust-proof cupboards.

but we do also have fab ridged shelf liner so that if you do put them upside down they don't get smelly (also stops them sliding around).

Right side up, they look more natural that way.

Jojay · 02/01/2009 12:39

Upside down. Don't really know why but they're on a wire rack in a carousel corner cupboard so they don't get smelly.

extremelychocolateymilkroll · 02/01/2009 13:06

Stealth - getting excited here - can you buy cupboards which are dust-proof - a bit like self cleaning ovens or do they still, unfortunately, involve regular cleaning?? Wire rack in carousel cupboard sounds good.

Upside down and clean your cupboard more often

Gorionine · 02/01/2009 13:08

upside down

smurfgirl · 02/01/2009 13:08

Upside down, I used to put them the right side up but DH doesn't like it and I don't care enough!

nappyzonehasastroppytoddler · 02/01/2009 13:09

upside down so if still a bit damp from dishwasher the water doesnt collect in the bottom

MrsSeanBean · 02/01/2009 13:10

Right side up. They get used too often to get dusty.

stealthsquiggle · 02/01/2009 13:24

That depends what you mean by 'regular'... our kitchen is nearly 2 years old and I have maybe cleaned the cupboards out once (but then I am a slattern)

I thought it would be the shelf liner which would be the exciting bit - it is a slightly older version of this

ohdearwhatamess · 02/01/2009 13:24

Right way up. They don't get dusty.

MrsSeanBean · 02/01/2009 13:25

my cupboards don't get dusty inside so I don't need to clean them at all very often.

Paperchase · 02/01/2009 13:28

Right way up. It saves confusion when you get to the tap.

And hoover your cupboards!
