Snobol It's the only thing. The rust will literally run down the bowl. Pour some under the rim and watch it disappear it's amazing. The only place I know to buy it at is Family Dollar. Walmart used to sell it but doesn't seem to anymore, maybe you can find it online.

Orange Stains on Dishwasher

I have a request for information on how to get my dishwasher clean on the inside. The baskets and the walls have all turned a dirty orange color due to extremely hard water. Since we live in an apartment I'm not sure if there is a water softener, but it seems to be getting worse daily. Could it be due to the iron in the water?

Is there something I can use to put in the dishwasher to clean it and then something I can continue to use so it doesn't happen again? It looks terrible and I don't even want to use it if I have any company because it's embarrassing. Thank you in advance.

i think the orange stains in a dishwasher are caused by spaghetti bolognaise sauce anything tomatoey will stain it and it stains jugs and bottle teets too if you don't rinse your pans and plated thoroughly first its not rust...
