Sounds like calcium build up. Do you have hard water in your area? I have used vinegar for that problem but not for anything that is silver (turns it black).

I had a similar problem. Since the reformulation of dishwashing powder several years ago my dishes had a white film. While Glisten is great to clean the inside of the dishwasher itself, adding Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Agent solves this for the dishes. Hope this helps.

Had white powdery substance all over sides and bottom of dishwasher. Even after rinsing my dishes the white power residue was on the dishes. Tried running machine empty with hottest water possible - didn't work. Used vinegar didn't work. Finally called repairman and he told me nothing was wrong with dishwasher and to use Glisten. Also, he said never use vinegar in a dishwasher (only coffee makers). Told me to try Cascade Gel without lemon! Well, the Glisten worked like a charm! Used 3 months ago and the interior and dishes are sparkling. Save repair costs and try Glisten, Cascade gel and hopefully, you too will see amazing results.

Did this happen after using glisten? If so that would be odd. If not, probably hard water, run glisten through the cycle, make sure the water in the dw is hot, then try a load of dishes. you should see improvement. I keep Jet dry in my dw too because I also have hard water, but haven't had the problem of white surface on my plates or glasses since I used glisten. I run this through my dw once a month.

I would try some windex or some dish cleaner--- maybe even some eyeglass cleaner. Hope this helps!

I would try a Mixture of Proxide and Water. Proxide will help keep the tile White,as it Cleans. For the 21oz bottle Go 4oz of Proxide and the rest Water. With the micro fiber you will see more dirt come off the Floor. Hope this works for you.

This has not been an issue for me, sorry. But you might try a rinse aid in the cycle as well as regular soap; this makes a big difference in how clean the dishes are at the end of the cycle.

I have a 4 part recipe that is better than any dishsoap I've ever used: 1 tsp Bronner's Sal Suds, 1 tsp Arm&Hammer; washing soda, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 cup white vinegar poured in the bottom of the machine. Yeah it's extra trouble but it's safe, natural and dishes come out shiny and spotless!

Try Bar Keepers Friend. You can find it in just about any supermarket. It makes my stainless steel pans shine like new when they're discolored.

I use a little dish soap and water, then brush it round a bit, then rinse. It is coated with porcelain.

White cleans up spectacular. If you have stuck on food, let it soak a while in hot water and dish soap. Use a scrubber hat does not scratch.

I use soft scrub on the surface to get off the 'stuck' pieces and then put it in the dishwasher. Never had a problem.

Sorry, I'm not entirely sure what to use. You can try nail polish remover, it might get the paint off without damaging the silver. If the silver is close to the white paint, I recommend using a Q-tip.

Whether it's China, Timbuctu or wherever it's the Henckels name that counts. Also someone was critical of rust spots and a fading shine. Dip the used ware in kitchen water to counter acid from tomatoes and like products. When clearing dishes off the table at a dinner party, all the tableware goes into soapy water until we load the dishwasher after the guest leave.

I put into sink and wash with dish cloth after it has cooled. I may use a none abrasive pad and a no scratch spatula. Regular dish soap.

I use Dawn dish soap, and hand wash all my dishes, they have rust spots on them. Had them less than a month, light use.

Since you can't use cleaners I make sure I clean every other day with paper towels and the provided brush for the silver disk. Once you have a build up I do use a soft brush on the white plastic parts,, but NOT on the silver disk. They sell an additive for hard water build up, which may be your problem. I hope this helps.

Using a 3 parts water to 1 part white vinegar. New glasses do not need to soak overnight but vinegar can help to remove spots if soaked The experts recommend the water be warm or room temperature not hot.

Hello, DL: you just take the cover off the bottle of Glisten, turn it upside down in your silverware holder, and then run the dishwasher with no dishes and no detergent. We began using Glisten upon the advice of our repairman. We had to call him, because water was remaining in the bottom of our dishwasher. It turned out no repair was necessary, but he highly recommended Glisten, to get rid of calcium buildup. We actually ran two simultaneous bottles through, and since then we run a bottle through every 3 months. It works beautifully.

The Scotch Naturals polish remover is best. Have patience with it as it does take a little longer to remove. From my experience it comes off more easily after a shower, bath, or washing the dishes. Hope that's helpful!
