Can dishwasher film be overcome or do I need a new one?
I live in a coastal community on a North Carolina barrier island in a
house I inherited from my father. I've noticed a film on the silverware I've run through the dishwasher that is difficult to remove. Just rubbing it with a damp towel won't do it but using Bartenders Friend cleans it up nicely. Still, I shouldn't have to clean most of the silverware that's been through the dishwasher. I've tried running CLR followed by vinegar through it. I have tried using Jet Dry along with the Cascade Powder I generally use. The dishwasher is a Maytag MDB9100AWQ of indeterminate age. The house was built in 1983 but the dishwasher has probably been replaced at least once. It still runs very quietly and aside from the film problem, I have no complaints with it. I'm told our water here is very hard. I don't have a problem with rust stains and anything you soap up rinses off very quickly. So what should I do? Am I at the point I need a new dishwasher? Jay |
