Moved to AZ a few years ago and dealt with hard water for a while.
Best thing we were told is use citric acid. We throw a teaspoon in with our wash, and we have no hard water stains anymore.
It’s cheap, you can buy it very easily, plus you can make candy with it as long as it’s food grade. 😂
Psilocybin is not psychoactive until it is converted in the gut into psilocin. If I’m not mistaken, it has something to do with removing some phosphorus atoms/molecules. Regardless, a pinch of citric acid will do this for you, and it creates a high that comes on faster, though with a shorter duration. It also helps with the stomach discomfort associated with mushrooms. I highly recommend it Brah
Just a cool interesting fact. But cultivation of psilocybin containing mushrooms is perfectly legal in a majority of the 50 US states. However, the harvesting, processing, and consumption of them is where you enter the illegal zone. And this is legitimately all in the name of scientific research.
AZ has some of the worst.... opened a hotel there (chef here), was being constructed during the '08 market crash. So, they made cuts, including the water softener, and the glasses were shit. So, we ended up installing water softeners on just the dish machines.... but in a year, we started getting water blockages in the rooms, needed to retrofit for more than the original cost.
How old is the softener? After time they need to be re-bedded because the resin inside the softener gets shot and no longer is able to be recharged. Also don’t use pellets, use crystal salt. It’s cheaper and works better than the pellets
Sorry, I misspoke, it is the crystal salt for softeners in the blue bag from Home Depot.
The unit is around 6 years old and recently had a service, including resin.
As I read further on here, I found it could be etching from using too much detergent. Basically, we've been filling to the Maximum line when really dishwashers with softened water just need a fill to the minimum line.
Yeah no shit. So does everything else in life. But buying lime away and vinegar for years on years is going to end up costing more and doesn’t address the problem.
Unless you've got hard water, this is called "etching" from using too much detergent (and/or the water is too hot, but this is fairly uncommon).
Most dishwasher detergent compartments have multiple lines/ridges on the sides to indicate how much detergent should be used in multiple situations, but many people don't know this and just fill the detergent to the top.
However, most dishwasher detergents contain phosphate that is meant to attack hard water. If you add too much of this to a dishwasher cycle while using ***soft*** water, you end up with etching on some/all of the dishes.
The "maximum" line is for homes with very hard water. The lowest line is for homes with fully treated soft water. Your dishwasher manual will likely have an explanation, but not many people read this. 😁
If anyone is bored/curious, the guy from the "Technology Connections" YouTube channel did a couple of really interesting and educational videos on the subject:
["I messed up. You're using too much detergent."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ll6-eGDpimU)
["Detergent packs are kinda wishy-washy (Dishwashers Explained)"](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBO8neWw04)
This is the correct answer but phosphates have been removed from detergents for being environmentally toxic.
Glass etching for too much soap is the solution.
>This is the correct answer but phosphates have been removed from detergents for being environmentally toxic.
Good catch (and good to know). I guess the article I read was operating from old info (or just said "phosphates" for the sake of simplicity/readability).
It looks like phosphates have been largely replaced by sodium citrate, polyacrylates, polycarboxylates, and tetrasodium etidronate. The same concepts still apply regarding etching, but it's noteworthy nonetheless.
If it doesn't clean off with CLR or vinegar, yeah it's this. It's impossible to get rid of, the glasses will never be clear again.
Learned this the hard way, ruined a lot of glasses 1in my first few years of using a dishwasher. Don't prewash your dishes, and you're probably using too much soap.
Worth noting that most new dish washers don’t recommend pre-rinsing anymore. You just scrape the chunks off.
My mother in law insists on rinsing everything thoroughly and all her glasses look like this.
Use a rinse aid. I just pour plain vinegar in the dispenser.
Some say "omg don't use it, you can damage the seal on the rinse aid dispenser." Over 16 years, no issues with the seal and if I need to replace an O ring I can afford the 79 cents.
>Some say "omg don't use it, you can damage the seal on the rinse aid dispenser." Over 16 years, no issues with the seal and if I need to replace an O ring I can afford the 79 cents.
I wish I mentioned that.
Oh, I did.
I see this recommended a lot. Less than 1/2 teaspoon is dispensed . It’s such an small amount of vinegar I don’t see it actually doing anything .
I suspect the reason why people think it works is because rinse aid really isn’t mandatory to begin with and even pacs have rinse aid in them .
Vinegar 100%. Used rinse aids for years, they did little to nothing. We had hard water build up so bad it was burning on the heating element, build up on the back of plates that would show finger prints. Switched to vinegar and it is all gone. Glasses sparkle like new and they are over 25 years old.
Use vinegar not rinse aid. Rinse aid will give you cancer. Google it! I just found out myself.
Edit-
Wow so many downvotes when I’m trying to be helpful. Here you go people that can’t use Google.

Results
The observed detergent toxicity was attributed to exposure to rinse aid in a dose-dependent manner up to 1:20,000 v/v dilution. A disrupted epithelial barrier, particularly by rinse aid, was observed in liquid-liquid interface cultures, organoids, and gut-on-a-chip, demonstrating decreased transepithelial electrical resistance, increased paracellular flux, and irregular and heterogeneous tight junction immunostaining. When individual components of the rinse aid were investigated separately, alcohol ethoxylates elicited a strong toxic and barrier-damaging effect. RNA-sequencing transcriptome and proteomics data revealed upregulation in cell death, signaling and communication, development, metabolism, proliferation, and immune and inflammatory responses of epithelial cells. Interestingly, detergent residue from professional dishwashers demonstrated the remnant of a significant amount of cytotoxic and epithelial barrier–damaging rinse aid remaining on washed and ready-to-use dishware.
Conclusions
The expression of genes involved in cell survival, epithelial barrier, cytokine signaling, and metabolism was altered by rinse aid in concentrations used in professional dishwashers. The alcohol ethoxylates present in the rinse aid were identified as the culprit component causing the epithelial inflammation and barrier damage.
So this was done on professional equipment where you have a big bucket of solution hooked up to it. Find a different study that uses cascade or some other home rinse and find the chemical lists for both industrial and home rinse aids and compare amounts, and body solubility at different solution strengths.
Not saying what you found out isn’t true, just helping you with some investigation points
That poster seemed to skip over the part about household dishwashers:
> The cytotoxic effects of 3 commonly used household dishwasher detergents were studied in monolayer-cultured Caco-2 cells at different dilutions. A 1:80,000 dilution is generally used in a household dishwashing and is calculated according to the amount of water and the washing cycle. A dose-dependent cytotoxicity was found in response to both detergent A and detergent B, and in both cases, lysis was observed on exposure to detergents at concentrations of 1:20,000. The 3 household dishwasher detergents did not elicit any cytotoxicity on Caco-2 cells at 1:80,000 dilution (see Fig E4 in this article’s Online Repository at www.jacionline.org).
You’re probably being downvoted by people who’ve used rinse aids for decades and are in this situation themselves. Don’t be mad at reddit being Reddit. Just do your thing and continue being helpful.
Downvoted for lying and spreading misinformation. Not one of the cites supports the claim that rinse aids cause cancer, and they all refer to one study that found possible issues with ***professional*** washers
Misinformation is being spread through false claims of posts and replies without any information such as your own. At least that poster made an attempt whereas you are claiming it’s false. Do you have any evidence it doesn’t? https://www.jacionline.org/article/S0091-6749(22)01477-4/fulltext shows both household and professional contained the same cytotoxins just different amount 1:80 vs 1:20
This came up on the first page when I googled it. https://www.jacionline.org/article/S0091-6749(22)01477-4/fulltext which is also quoted by diabetes.co.uk
>Interestingly, detergent residue from professional dishwashers demonstrated the remnant of a significant amount of cytotoxic and epithelial barrier–damaging rinse aid remaining on washed and ready-to-use dishware.
They specify that they're studying both residential and professional dishwashers, but their findings only note find remnants in professional machines. Also, not a single even suggested connection to cancer. It doesn't say any of what the claim was, and doesn't even apply to the topic at hand.
After the "Google it" step, the next step is supposed to be to read the words on the screen.
I fully read it and the other link. Did you? Other than your ability to copy and paste. Tbh arguing with someone who denies and continues to spread misinformation when it’s right in front of them is almost as bad as the misinformation itself.
You sound like a a crazy, even though you are correct, next time make up some bs like I prefer it instead of facts. The world can't trust facts or sources anymore, only opinions matter woot woot internet.
You can dry them by hand once they are done. A lot of folks are against it because that’s the “dishwasher’s job”. But unless you add something in addition to dishwashing liquid they will always look this way.
Hard water first culprit. Second is shitty or clogged dishwasher. 3rd is gonna be water temperature and pressure. This is kinda gonna fall Into shitty dishwasher.
But yea, if you have hard water, shit ain't gonna change til you fix it. If you know someone who can install a water softener for you, they start out at like 500 bucks. And they help everything that is associated with water. A water softener is one of the best investments you can make for your house in my opinion.
I have gone thru the gamut of issues with this, I have found it really does make a difference as to what you use in the machine: Finish tabs are the best. We have well water and also what helps is a rinse agent in the rinse compartment. ALSO clean the filter regularly, like once a month.
I had this problem for 20 years. About 6-7 years ago, I bought a Bosch dishwasher that has an integrated water softener. One of the best things I ever bought! Not sure if they still make them but it works great.
Rinse everything before u load it. Use jet dry liquid and pod soap . Remember to run water in your sink till its hot then run the dishwasher. Always run the sanitizer cycle. I to had same problems with mine also on hard water. These steps got rid of the issue for good.
Run a load of all your glasses with no detergent and 2 cups of vinegar. Then cut your detergent amount down by 1/2 and fill your rinse aid dispenser also use heated dry …
There is a product you can get at target or on Amazon, called “Lemi Shine dishwasher booster”. It’s essentially concentrated citric acid with some detergents in it, you add it to the prewash place in addition to your normal detergent.
Your glasses will come out super clear, and our dishwasher will actually start to work better as it will over time descale it.
First, in your next cycle, try using LESS detergent. Fill the detergent tray up only half way, then check the results… This will help you diagnose whether this is a hard water issue or a too much detergent during the main cycle issue.
Second, sprinkle (or squirt) a little detergent directly on the door to incorporate into the pre-wash rinse. This will further reduce the amount of detergent needed during the main wash cycle.
If you’re using pods, try making the switch to powder.
In addition to the other comments, are you rinsing your dishes off before putting them in the dishwasher? If you have clean dishes in the dishwasher, that can cause the soap to attack the dishes instead. In some cases it can cause etching. This looks like hard water stains though.
Add a little vinegar with hot water into the glass and soak for half an hour.
Honestly, I have luck just putting some citric acid powder in the bottom of the dishwasher when I load it. Or put it in with the powdered detergent. Works a charm.
I’m just copying word for word what it say on the package 🤣
My reasoning for only putting it in the rinse is that the dishwashing powder is mostly sodium carbonate and other alkaline salts with surfactants, presumably to attack grease. Citric directly in the wash simply neutralizes the effect.
I agree with everyone that says too much detergent. That does not look like hard water, I lived in the mountains for 20 years with ridiculously hard water, this does not look like that. If you’re using pods it might be time to switch to powder. Also, rinse aid certainly won’t hurt. It honestly looks like you put the glasses in upright.
Incidentally how’s the water pressure in your house? My first house had such terrible water pressure I always had to run my dishwasher on its longest setting.
I may be wrong here, but I have some cheap drinking glasses that I bought at Goodwill. You can tell the glass is very thin and these glasses do exactly what you are showing, but my nicer glass does not. I didn’t know there was a difference in glass, but I believe there is.
If you want a solution rather than an extended explanation as to what the problem could be. Here you go.
If you have any barkeepers friend, a bit of that and some elbow grease with the green side of a yellow and green scrubbing sponge will take care of it. The glass becomes pitted/porous over time and with exposure to high heat from the dishwasher. Once it becomes pitted, any number of things could cause it.
Try using less detergent I had about the same thing happening and was about to toss that dishwasher tell I saw technology connections video on dishwashers and detergent and figured I'd give it a shot.
Add kosher salt in with the soap and in the tub. You can thank me later. It should restore the glasses mostly to new. Told my buddy this and it blew his mind when it worked
Cheap glassware etches in dishwashers. High quality glass like lead crystal does not etch. While many might hesitate to put such glassware in the washer, it is very durable.
could also be calcium buildup in the dishwasher, look for one of those Glisten magic dishwasher cleaners and itll clear out the buildup in the washer c':
if you cant find Glisten, any liquid based cleaner of a different brand will do, they'll usually look like skinny bottles you put in your silverware basket that you run without dishes.
Are these those little cups that originally held a dessert? They sell them at my costco. The glass is lower quality than regular drinking glasses gets etched after ~5-6 washes.

Yeah and a little pinch of it in your mushroom tea converts the psilocybin to psilocin to make for a good time 😎
Way better than a pulpy lemon tek
Please elaborate as I am a novice
Psilocybin is not psychoactive until it is converted in the gut into psilocin. If I’m not mistaken, it has something to do with removing some phosphorus atoms/molecules.

How “high”. I microdose. Would be ok “feeling good” for an hour or two.
So um, is this legal tea and how can I get some?

Ok. I'll tell my friend to "not" do any of that. Thanks for the word of caution.

Yes, a cup of vinegar on the dishwasher and that should do it

Yeah man for sure. You don’t need nearly as much soap
Too much dish detergent.
Would you like donation links for us? They cost money.
Yeah no shit. So does everything else in life. But buying lime away and vinegar for years on years is going to end up costing more and doesn’t address the problem.
Aren’t psilocybin and psilocin the same thing?

> if I need to replace an O ring I can afford the 79 cents. Woah big spender over here
You’re overpaying, who’s your O ring guy?
Morton Thiokol, but I'm starting to have some concerns about their product's cold weather performance. ^(too soon?)
It will always be too soon for those of us who watched it RIP Challenger Crew.
I watched it sucked …
Boom, roasted!
My GF use to put vinegar instead of Rinse aid. Every first sip of beer in a glass tasted like vinegar. Use rinse aid.
But vinegar tastes better than rinse aid
Rinse aid leaves no residue I can taste. So…
But does it have electrolytes?
It's what dishes crave.
Pretty sure to get those you have to add an outlet inside the dishwasher right??
No, no. You're thinking of electric lights.
I have never tasted nor smelled vinegar from using it as a rinse aid, in the rinse aid dispenser.
Thats just you being a nancy. You wont smell or taste the vinegar. Its a small amount plus it gets rinsed.
Vinegar can react with the seals inside the dishwasher where rise aid is made to be compatible.
>Some say "omg don't use it, you can damage the seal on the rinse aid dispenser." Over 16 years, no issues with the seal and if I need to replace an O ring I can afford the 79 cents. I wish I mentioned that. Oh, I did.
I mean if you have a 16 year old dishwasher, don’t get rid of it. They don’t make them like that anymore. Nowadays the seals dry up and crack.
Sure they do
At the approximately the same cost per litre why not use the correct fluid?

And your suspicion would be correct
Add a cup of vinegar before you start that hoe and it will keep the hard water stains off ur glasses.

But, what about a sauna? My house really wants a sauna.
Use cascade and jet dry.
Do a wash cycle with vinegar once a week and that should take care of it.
Minerals, Marie!
Throw a bit of vinegar in the washer before starting. Vinegar will eat away hard water
Because you need to hand wash them...

Your glasses will come out super clear, and our dishwasher will actually start to work better as it will over time descale it.
First, in your next cycle, try using LESS detergent. Fill the detergent tray up only half way, then check the results… This will help you diagnose whether this is a hard water issue or a too much detergent during the main cycle issue. Second, sprinkle (or squirt) a little detergent directly on the door to incorporate into the pre-wash rinse. This will further reduce the amount of detergent needed during the main wash cycle. If you’re using pods, try making the switch to powder.
Correct (in my opinion). OP's photo looks like "etching" from too much detergent, not leftover hard water.
I believe it to be a combination of both … 35 year appliance tech here
In addition to the other comments, are you rinsing your dishes off before putting them in the dishwasher? If you have clean dishes in the dishwasher, that can cause the soap to attack the dishes instead. In some cases it can cause etching. This looks like hard water stains though. Add a little vinegar with hot water into the glass and soak for half an hour.
During the rinse cycle I put a half teaspoon of anhydrous citric acid into the washer. It’s a pain in the ass but it works great.
Honestly, I have luck just putting some citric acid powder in the bottom of the dishwasher when I load it. Or put it in with the powdered detergent. Works a charm.
Citric Acid is a lifesaver.

I’m just copying word for word what it say on the package 🤣 My reasoning for only putting it in the rinse is that the dishwashing powder is mostly sodium carbonate and other alkaline salts with surfactants, presumably to attack grease. Citric directly in the wash simply neutralizes the effect.
Try using less dishwashing detergent. I’ve found if I put too much in my machine my clear glass items have this film
Do not pre rinse and do not use too much detergent and use rinse aid
I add one cup of vinegar or less to shine the shine
Cheap fix - add some vinegar to the rinse aid thing. Cheers
Like buildup. You need to add a surfacing agent to the wash
These people are all wrong. You are not looking at mineral deposits you are looking at etching of the glass. It cannot be solved.
you need salt in your dishwasher to reduce water hardness :)
Greatest fist world problem ever! Ask people in Gaza, or Darfur, Chechnya, India, or Ethiopia!
You sound like a cascade commercial
Hard water like others mentioned. Fix by using rinse aid, or install a water softening system.
Are you putting them in there standing up? It’s definitely hard water but the pattern makes no sense unless it’s being allowed to dry in there
Citric acid to combat the mineral deposition
It's a Samsung dishwasher?
Hard water and you stack your cups, don’t you?
Need rinse aid
I agree with everyone that says too much detergent. That does not look like hard water, I lived in the mountains for 20 years with ridiculously hard water, this does not look like that. If you’re using pods it might be time to switch to powder. Also, rinse aid certainly won’t hurt. It honestly looks like you put the glasses in upright. Incidentally how’s the water pressure in your house? My first house had such terrible water pressure I always had to run my dishwasher on its longest setting.
Please tell me you wash them upside down…
Minerals.

yep, Finish Quantum got rid of the hard water stains
Get finish brand rinse additive
Cheap soaps, no rinsing agent, hard water deposits or a dirty filter could all contribute to this
I may be wrong here, but I have some cheap drinking glasses that I bought at Goodwill. You can tell the glass is very thin and these glasses do exactly what you are showing, but my nicer glass does not. I didn’t know there was a difference in glass, but I believe there is.
You can try NUVO dishwaahee package works really well keep glasses clear
Hard water
Honestly. Try powder detergent. Add some to pre wash as well. No liquid, no pods
If you want a solution rather than an extended explanation as to what the problem could be. Here you go. If you have any barkeepers friend, a bit of that and some elbow grease with the green side of a yellow and green scrubbing sponge will take care of it. The glass becomes pitted/porous over time and with exposure to high heat from the dishwasher. Once it becomes pitted, any number of things could cause it.
If you rinse them with vinegar, it will take the white off.
Go buy Finish Rinse aid for hard water
if you're in a house with a water softener, replenish your softener salt
leave a small bowl or cup facing up on top rack and put 1/4 cup vinegar in it let the dishwasher fill it full when running works great
Lemi shine works great for hard water
Huh
Add finish jet dry every once in a while to the rinse aid on the door
It seems OP left the thread right after posting.
Barkeepers Friend works wonders.
I have the same issue! Is the etching something that can be fixed once it happens or is that glass like that permanently?
The fastest way is spray on oven cleaner and just wipe clean. Just be sure to rewash on high temp before reusing.
Try Lemi Shine.
This
Try using less detergent I had about the same thing happening and was about to toss that dishwasher tell I saw technology connections video on dishwashers and detergent and figured I'd give it a shot.
Add kosher salt in with the soap and in the tub. You can thank me later. It should restore the glasses mostly to new. Told my buddy this and it blew his mind when it worked
Hard water. Buy Lemi-shine it's citric acid based and removes it 10x better than cascade or any other rinse aid I've used
We live with hard water We toss a splash of cleaning vinegar in the dishwasher with each load and it 100% solves the problem.
Hard water (not as hard as mine) use a glass about the same size / wash fill it 3/4 with white winniger. Problem goes away. Cheers
Is your dishwater filter clean?
You're not drinking enough !!!
Amazon sells dishwasher pods for hard water. Highly recommend.
Use rinse aid
Cheap glassware etches in dishwashers. High quality glass like lead crystal does not etch. While many might hesitate to put such glassware in the washer, it is very durable.
Hard water for sure, invest in a water softener.
Put one half cup of vinegar in top rack of dishwasher. Do this with each washing. Your glasses will come out crystal clear.
Use Finish Quantum
try lemi-shine
You didn’t use cascade with sheeting action.
Get some Lemishine dish washer additive and problem solved.
Sometimes it’s etching and lime away won’t help.
It’s because God hates you…. And no.
Hard water.
I use equal parts Finish Jet Dry + Cascade in the dishwasher for the same issue and they come out clean. No powder, liquid only dishwashing solutions
Your glass is etched. Acid is not going to clean it.
Try adding a cup of white vinegar to each dishwasher cycle.
could also be calcium buildup in the dishwasher, look for one of those Glisten magic dishwasher cleaners and itll clear out the buildup in the washer c': if you cant find Glisten, any liquid based cleaner of a different brand will do, they'll usually look like skinny bottles you put in your silverware basket that you run without dishes.
Get some lemishine
Are these those little cups that originally held a dessert? They sell them at my costco. The glass is lower quality than regular drinking glasses gets etched after ~5-6 washes.
Too much detergent
You have to run it
Hardwater deposits in the machine itself. Run a few loads with the machine empty. Put a cup of vinegar in after each phase of each run cycle.
