If you dumped all your glassware into a sink full of water last night and went to bed after the big game, you might find some of the glasses nested tightly together this morning. Here's how to get them unstuck without breakage.

DIY Life's Diane Rixon recommends first drizzling some vegetable oil or dish soap in between the two drinking glasses and wiggling gently to see if they'll pop apart. If that doesn't work, try a hot and cold one-two punch:

Hot water and ice water. Submerge the bottom glass or bowl in very hot (but not boiling) water. Fill the uppermost glass or bowl with ice water. Presto! The simultaneous expansion and contraction of the layers should unstick even the most stubborn glassware.

Check out the post for more ideas on how to release stuck glassware. If all the time you spent unsticking your glasses has made you realize they're dingy and cloudy, scrub them with toothpaste to restore their sparkle.
