How To Clean Frosted Glass ware?

Glassdoc,
I have in my collection 10 (ten) pieces of Blenko frosted glass.
Question is how do I clean the stuff?

Clyde:
Blenko suggestions is:
Wash glassware with warm water and mild soap if needed. Dry Spray Armor All on a rag and wipe glassware on outside with rag. This will restore satin finish.
Let me know if this works for you.

Has anyone heard how Bruce and his family are getting along?

If you do not want to use armor all, WD-40 is what was orginially used on the frosted glass to give you that satin look.
