how can i clean hardwater stains off my silverware?

Question

hi i have oneida silverware that is stainless. but my knives get hardwater stains that look like rust on them all the time. i try to wipe them off with a rag, but not all of it comes off. also, when i put them back in the dishwasher they just become stined up again. what can i do? its weird because i have a cheaper set of meat knives from ikea that never get these stains on them. anyway, any suggestions on how i can keep them clean of stains? thanks.
