ANYONE HAVE THIS PROBLEM ? our glasses have become cloudy , we have bought new ones and the same thing is happening !!! We use Cascade detergent and a rinse aid . I have tried a vinegar rinse on each glass . I'm wondering if it could be the water softener ???? |

I had the same problem. It's the change in detergent ingredients.
I use LemiShine Dishwasher packs and Lemi Shine Detergent Booster. You can get both at Wal-Mart. Even the inside of my dishwasher used to get cloudy and stained and now it is shiny clean, course I had to clean it one last time before starting with Lemi Shine. I have been using over a year and haven't had a problem since. By the way, I used Magic Eraser to get rid of stains and cloudiness before using the new detergent. Hope this helps you.

It is the hard highly mineralized water here in TV.
We do not put "good" glasesses in the dishwasher. The scale build up here is extraordinary. |

When I notice this happening to my glasses I know it is time to pour in more Finish Jet Dry.

I was wondering if the water filtration system that is advertised on this website would help with this issue. We are planning to get a whole house water filtration system installed when we are down next time because I'm concerned about build up and staining in the bathrooms as well (tub/shower and toilets) due to the hardness of the water.

I soak mine glasses in rubbing alcohol. The cloudy film goes away

We thought it was the old dishwasher, we got new one. Figured the old original 12 year old one was ready to go anyway. So far the new one doing lot better job.

Water softners and dishwashers can result in cloudy glasses. Had that problem for years in CA. I'd just end up buying new glasses. You need much less dishwasher detergent when you have a water softner. The company we had in CA warned us of the problem.
I have a Nova system and don't notice the problem. I use Finish tabs in the dishwasher and there is no way to use less. Might want to try a liquid or powder dishwasher detergent and use less than recommended. New glasses are probably going to be needed....not much can clear the haze on the older ones. |

Cloudy glasses are caused by one of two things. Mineral deposits, which can be removed with a vinegar rinse. If you do a vinegar rinse and still see the cloudiness after the glasses dry, you have glazing from the water softener, which can not be removed. Buy a new set of glasses and do this: 1. make sure your softener settings are appropriate for the water hardness in this area, and 2. use far, far, far less dishwasher detergent than you think you need. I am talking like maybe a teaspoon.
