I found that my glass only stains when my water quality is not the best.
When I use lab-distilled water (from the local university chemistry
faculty), I get no stains. I used some "optimum quality" deionised water
that cost a fortune and it made amber stuff that really stained my beaker.
I cleaned it with an ammonia detergent and a green scrub pad. It came off
in a few seconds.

Regards,
C.
