How to Prevent Cloudy Glassware in the Dishwasher

How frustrating to pull your clean dishes out of the dishwasher - only to find a thick film of residue has coated your glassware. Fortunately there's an easy solution.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Set your cloudy glassware in a large pot or tub.
Step2
Fill the pot or tub with one part vinegar and one part warm water.
Step3
Soak the glassware for at least an hour - you may want to let it soak overnight if the problem is a tough one.
Step4
Scrub any remaining film with a plastic scrubber or brush.
Step5
Wash the glasses by hand.

Tips & Warnings

  • For best results, always hand-wash your finest glassware.
  • The cloudiness you see on your glassware may not simply be filmy build-up - you may have etching, which is caused by too much detergent. Once glassware is etched, you can't do anything about it.

on 3/8/2008 there is a new product out that filters the water going into your dishwasher. the film or cloudy white look is caused by hard water. this filter eliminates the problem and is very affordable. you can get it at dishwasherfilter.com. i was amazed how clean my dishes came out after the first load.
