My dishes have developed what I assume is a mineral or film buildup. It is cloudy and slightly gritty in texture. I'm looking for a product or process that will help me remove this in a safe way. I hesitate to use Lime Away or such a chemical since I don't want any residue left behind.
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.

FINALLY!! Something on which I am an expert! I am an expert in? Whatever! I live in Ohio and we have certifiably the worst hardest water anywhere. My dishes and stainless and glassware were getting a white film on it/them. Also the black dish drainer, the tray under it, the ends of the faucets and showers and the bases of the hot and cold water handles.
The answer is soooo easy and cheap. White vinegar! Fill the dishwasher with yucky but cleaned dishes/glasses/silverware, dump in a good cup or two, whatever of white vinegar, run a normal cycle, and you will not BELIEVE the results! Vinegar is perfectly harmless.
Those little round thingies on the ends of faucets and showers, just unscrew and soak in a little dish of white vinegar. the calcium turns into white goo with a texture like toothpaste.
I could go on and on. It's actually fun! I put my black dish drainer and the tray under it in the dishwasher and they came out so pretty I almost took them around to show the neighbors!
Have fun!
