I am getting rust spots on my silverware after I take it out of the dishwasher. I am using good soap and the silverware is Oneida so I don't know what the problem is.

It could be that your water has an extremely high mineral content and what you think are rust stains are actually mineral deposits left after the water has dried. This is more common in households that use well water rather than city water or cisterns.
Another problem could be the quality of your silverware. It could be that your silverware was made using a poor grade of stainless steel. Cheap stainless steel will often show small rust spots due to the high content of carbon steel.
Good luck with your rust problem.

The problem is Oneida is not as good as it used to be if its rusting. The stainless steel has worn out. Invest in a heavier caliber of stainless silverware or in silverplate .

I don't know if it's caused by the dishwasher. Some of my stainless steel utensils get rusty spots and some don't... it depends on the brand. Maybe some stainless steel is more stainless than others. :-) I have a couple of Wsthof knives... excellent quality, but they get lots of spots.
It comes off with a little abrasive cleaner... not too abrasive. Soft scrub or Bon Ami are both good.

Is the any risk you're leaving them interior the device while they are carried out? Are they too close jointly? in the event that they are sitting in there, and the door is closed, the moisture ought to be doing it. Are they Oneida silver or flatware. Silver utensils desire particular therapy. Flatware, as you be attentive to, does not. have you ever tried placing out the door after the cycle is complete or removing them in the present day, wiping them with a paper towel, and putting them away appropriate after washing? in the event that they are flatware, you may get small rust factors off with Comet cleanser or with mushy use of a Brillo pad (which isn't as scratchy as SOS). i'm particular the producer does no longer advise this, yet once you're careful you may a minimum of get the rust off.
