Dishwasher leads cloudy glasses.
We always had problems with this in our previous dish washer. Soaking
glasses in almost boiling water with vinegar would remove the scale. After the dishwasher motor burned out three years ago we got a new, nothing special, plastic insides, Maytag and haven't had scaling since then. Surprisingly scale can be caused by too hot water. also don't use excess dishwashing detergent as some glassware can be etched by strongly alkaline conditions. From a web site: Scale and sludge may also occur due to chemical reactions producing less soluble compounds as in the decomposition of bicarbonate: Ca (HCO3)2 --------Heat--------- CaCO3 precipitate + H20 +CO2 Calcium carbonate is one of the most common components of scale and sludge in untreated boilers and cooling systems. wrote in message ... Our Bosch dishwasher is leaving the glasses cloudy after a regular wash. We're using Calgon liquid soap. Tried increasing water temp and changing soaps. No luck. Also have a cloudy residue on the stainless steel door and body of the machine. Anyone got any cures for this? Thanks Ken |
