Any tips for how to clean cloudy wine glasses? If not, I'd like to paint them to be usable again.

Try hobby lobby. They have paint that is specific for glass. I have some margarita glasses that are painted on the outside to look like flowers on the inside. -

if you take baking soda and a little white vinegar and make a pasted in the glass and rub it around then rinse the glasses will come sparkling again -

If you soak the glasses in vinegar you can remove the cloudy. If that doesn't work put each in a bowl with a denture cleaning tablet. If you do want to paint them to be able to drink out of them Hobby Lobby or Michael's will have paint you can use, or you can use Sharpie markers and bake to secure.- See 1 previous

Paint several of them in gem tones on the outside, then glue them to a painted or "silver" tray from Dollar Tree. Fill them with sweet water for hummingbirds. Place the tray on a shelf or table where you can enjoy them. Wash everything with a water hose or a big sink, using Dawn only if they look moldy. A rub with your fingers on the rims should remove any sugar buildup. (Or you could fill the glasses with battery-powered votive candles or real candles.) Best wishes 😇 -

Try lemi-shine to get cloudiness out. If it doesn't work, then paint them. -
