Answer 1

First you need to get your glasses clean with a vinegar/water mixture or glass cleaner, then try some straight white vinegar in the rinse agent receptical in your dishwasher.

Answer 2

It may not be soap film. Some dishwashers leave the glassware cloudy from etching the glass. There is little you can do about this. However, you can try one teaspoon of ammonia in 1/2 sinkful of warm water and let the glasses soak overnight. If they don't clear up, there's nothing else you can do. Another reason they are cloudy is that the water temp is not hot enough. It should be between 140-160 degrees. If calcium deposits, try soaking glassware in distilled water with a little vinegar for a couple of days.

Answer 3

I use to use Cascade and found that did not leave a film on my glassware but I don't have a dishwasher in my Motor Home so I don't have that concern. Could be your water. How long have you had the problem? Maybe the dishwasher is getting old and needs to be replaced. The lines going to the dishwasher could be full of hard water deposits. How does the water look coming out of the faucet? Are you on well water? You might need a water softener system installed. Lots to consider really.

Answer 4

Are you being stingy with the detergent? I have hard water and followed a plumber's advice to only fill the receptacle half full with standard liquid dishwasher detergent. My glasses ended up cloudy and, I thought, impossibly etched. Another plumber told me, however, to use the full measure of detergent and my glassware comes out completely clear. Jet Dry doesn't seem to make any difference at all. Fill your pre-wash and wash receptacles FULL with dishwasher detergent - liquid or powder and use a rinse agent if you like. Bottom line is to use a full measure of detergent.

Answer 5

try switching to a liquid if your using a powder or if using a powder switch to a liquid, also try a water softener. hard water will cause soap and eventually lime build up in your dishwasher. if that dont work i would look into a new dishwasher. it might be your time release for your soap unloading all at one time. or it might be your water pressure. if you are not getting enough pressure it wont blast all the soap of your dishes.

Answer 6

It sounds like you have hard water, which is leaving mineral deposits on your dishes.

Put some 20 Mule Team Borax in the bottom (beneath the bottom rack) of the dishwasher the next time you wash your dishes.

Also, if you use Clorox to wash your clothes and they come out yellow, add it to your wash.

Answer 7

the best way I've found is to use like a brillo pad and carefully scrub each glass in a circular motion to remove the soap scum...then start using jet dry and it will keep it from happening again (this is too harsh for crystal though)

Answer 8

Is there any chance its hard-water film that gets left if glasses are allowed to dry without being wiped?

Answer 9

I had the same problem--I ran a washer empty with two caps of CLR.Certainly did the trick and no more film on my glasses.

Answer 10

Add some water softeners witha a bit of vineger
