Are you talking about true silverware or silver plate? If so, it does
not belong in the dishwasher and should be done by hand.


The family silver has never seen the inside of a dishwasher, any more
than the guns I use to protect it.



If you are using the term sort of generically to describe flatware
made from stainless, look tot he water for a solution to the problem.
Hard water is probably the cause, not the machine.


Yep, the generic sense of the word. It's stainless flatware. The real
silver only comes out at Thanksgiving and Christmas, and even then it's
only if I'm feeling ambitious.
