I use good detergent in my dishwasher and a rinse aid. The problem only seems to be increasing.
Any helpful suggestions? Your help will be most appreciated.

The problem is a regulation that two years ago banned phosphate from being added to dish detergent compounds. This phosphate is a chemical that is very harmful to our lakes and waterways. It causes uncontrolled algae bloom. You will usually see a dark permanent tarnish on aluminum pot and pans that are washed in the dishwasher. LemiShine (WalMart) which is a salt/citrus solution helps a lot.
