Does anyone know how to get clear glasses after using a dishwasher? They always end up cloudy. I've tried vinegar with poor results.

I fought with cloudy glasses & soap build up for over 8 years. Then I discovered Lemi-Shine. My glasses actually sparkle now and there is no soap build-up. I fill pre-wash cup 1/2 full of detergent and the wash cup 1/2 full of Lemi-Shine. That's what directions say to do and it works great!

Hopefully your cloudy glasses are just a result of water spotting. However, it's possible that your glasses have "etching," which happens frequently to clear glass in dishwashers. I learned the hard way that there is no remedy, as the glass itself is permanently damaged. I now wash all glasses and clear glass dishes by hand.

If they are cloudy from hard water, the vinegar should work. However, sometimes it is the type of soap you are using. Switch to a different kind, and see if that helps. I have found that I have had to use a different soap in every different place that I have lived. Also, some glassware is worse than others for this, so sometimes it is the type of glassware plus the type of soap.

Lately I have been using the jet dry "baskets" in my dishwasher. This is after I got all the white residue off with a calcium remover. I use the Works disinfecting toilet bowl cleaner. it is the BEST calcium and rust remover I have ever used and it is pretty cheap.
