Poll: cup's and glasses in a cupboard ?

[Rroff]

If your gonna up em upside down to stop dust getting inside you need a spindle or something (to leave an air gap) - otherwise they get musty inside and start to smell and you have to wash them a couple of times anyhow...

So we always put ours normal way up - they don't stay there long enough usually to get dusty inside anyhow and if they did they'd need washing anyhow (musty smell).

Top up, my cupboard has a door so the dust isn't a problem :/

Top down they usually get crap on the edges or musty/condesation, don't clean the shelf as much as I should though.

 

[Rroff]

We clean our shelves pretty well and they always get musty/condensated if we leave em tops down - not sure if this varies from place to place (environment conditions) but definitely a big no no here.

Both.

Bottom down for normal every day tumblers.
Bottom up for fancy glasses, wine glasses etc.

No idea why.

 

[Lydzor]

I can't really see either way being much better than the other really. They both have their pros and cons. Our glasses are a mixture of both really, but mainly upside-down.

What are these cups things you speak of? i drink straight from the kettle.. alpha.

Total quietly snigger at work material that! Top stuff, visions of a steaming spout in your mouth lol.


As for glasses, mugs etc base on the shelf, dust is one of your five a day.

I wash mine out anyway before i put water, juice etc in it.

But A.

Yeah, that's the reason I don't do it too, a glass that's had stagnant water sitting trapped inside it isn't nice, bacteria grows in the warm and damp then it smells like an old dishcloth.

They are completely dry when they come out of the dishwasher but I like to be sure.

Upside down is nothing but pure heresy

 

[JCBeastie]

You don't store your cups sideways!!?

Madness.

 

[Ghosteh]

Upside down, but that said, I have mesh on my glass shelf, so doesn't get full of dirt around the rim. And either way I usually rinse them before drinking from them lol.

 

[KNiVES]

Sideways. Some glasses fall out sometimes, but I've always believed that Darwinism applies to everything and not just living things.

 

[Oligopoly]

top up, no dust in a cupboard.

 

[16-bit]

Both, as they fit in the cupboard better that way.

 

[utajoker]

for some reason, cups up glasses down.

 

[Hxc]

Upside down. I have no idea why.

 

[Cosimo]

The only way is up.
