Have a strict system for washing and drying glassware.
For both hygiene and aesthetic purposes, glassware should always be washed separately from everything else, particularly items soiled by food. The most ideal way is with a glass washing machine, which you simply fill with the proper solutions and then let it do the cleaning, sanitising and rinsing for you. But if you’re washing by hand, you still need to follow the same process.
– Rinse the glass, then use a clean cloth or brush wash with detergent, then dip in glassware sanitiser.
– Air dry in a drying rack (not on a flat surface or towel, which can trap odours and bacteria inside the glass). If you really need to dry manually, use a clean, dry towel.
