I finally tried Lemishine, and it did an amazing job of removing the cloudy film from my clear glass dishes. I put about a tablespoon of it in the main wash compartment, along with a Finish Quantum Powerball. When I opened the dishwasher to unload, I couldn't believe my eyes. All the glass was transparent again! There were some small opaque white "deposits" on a few pieces, and I was able to scrape those off with my fingernail. Does anyone know what causes those and what, if anything, I can do to avoid them in the future? So now I think my original problem is solved: I just have to use the most expensive dishwasher tablets in combination with a pricey detergent booster, and my dishes will look clean! BTW, the pictures on the Lemishine label accurately represent my "before" and "after" experience with it. I sincerely appreciate the advice all posters offered and, because you seem so knowledgeable, I am wondering if someone can explain our long history of dishwasher woes. The only other time we actually purchased a dishwasher was in1993. I distinctly remember everything about the episode because the dishwasher that was in that house when we bought it finally broke down- the same week that our first child was born. (In fact, until yesterday, I had planned on giving said child all my cloudy dishes to use in her college apartment!) We replaced it with a Whirlpool that we bought for $330. My spouse installed it (though he was a novice), and it worked perfectly for the following 13 years, with whatever detergent happened to be on sale at Target, even though we had very hard water. We have not had a properly functioning dishwasher since. We lived in four different rental houses in two different states (two houses had hard water and two did not, and all of the houses were brand new or less than two years old when we moved in), and none of our dishwashers (two high-end and two mid-level) properly cleaned our dishes. All of them left food residue and a white film on the dishes to one degree or another, even though we kept the filters clean. While we never tried the products mentioned above, we did try many different detergents, to no avail. Did we have so many problems because dishwasher technology changed (e.g., for purposes of energy or water efficiency, to make them quieter, etc.), because phosphates were removed from detergents, or for some other reason? I understand why toilets declined in quality (low flow requirements), but the dishwasher evolution has me puzzled!

Hi I also installed this product at my beach house around my pool. We used the hazelnut color and we placed the stones in a herringbone pattern. I love how it looks. Everyone that comes to my home thinks that it is wood. When we first started laying the stones i noticed that some were darker then others. Apparently I got a mix from 2 different stone lots. It was all hazelnut but because it is natural stone and was 2 different lots one lot was darker. It would have taken too long to get a new lot so we decided to do a herringbone pattern and we took time mixing the pavers so that it looked natural. I agree that there are spots and i have attached photos. I was really bothered in the beginning but quite honestly now they just seem to blend in. I also agree they are pricey and more fragile to work with then your average stone so make sure whomever is installing it knows what they are doing. Hope this helps.

Maybe static electricity holding the dust. Give it a few weeks please.

My metal table has this white film that appeared after I registered off under the sink. The only thing I can think of was my son was using his bubble machine, which is essentially just dish soap and water. It had a lot of crumbs on it at the time plus the bubble solution prompted me to rinse it off and upon drying, film appeared. I feel pretty helpless as I’ve Windex, vinegar, and a magic eraser.
