Cups, glasses, shot glasses and goblets must be stored exclusively upside down.
According to popular belief, this brings good luck and prosperity to the house.
But this is not the only reason why you should give preference to this method of storing drinking containers.
We explain why cups and glasses should only be stored upside down.
Why cups should be stored upside down
Firstly, it is convenient to store cups upside down: you can put them on top of each other, thereby saving space.
Secondly, this storage method helps prevent water stains.
When the cups are turned upside down, the water flows down, dries faster and does not leave streaks.
Secondly, storing cups upside down is preferable from a hygienic point of view.
When drinking glasses are stored in their normal position, dust may accumulate inside.
Small insects can also get in there. This is especially true if the dishes are stored on open shelves.
In addition, the moisture that accumulates inside the cups when stored in their normal position is a favorable environment for the growth of bacteria.
