Answer:
White vinegar will dissolve most water spots - you may have to soak the crystal overnight. Very stubborn spots can be polished off with a damp cloth dipped in baking soda. Anything that resists this treatment might be etching, where the crystal itself is scratched. This can be caused by putting the crystal in the dishwasher - never do this! Dishwasher detergent is extremely caustic and most people use too much. This kind of etching is permanent damage - a professional crystal restoration expert is your last hope.
White vinegar has been proven to work to remove hard water stains from crystal glassware. See the step by step method below...

Top Tip:
Sometimes stains are extra stubborn - for this make a paste of white vinegar and baking soda and scrub gently with a soft brush or sponge. Never use an abrasive cleaner like scouring pads, powders or steel wool as this will scratch the surface.
