I own some Crystal d'Arques drinking glasses which I wash in the dishwasher. I do this because washing them by hand would discourage me from using them and enjoying them every day. When I wash them I put them on the top rack, use softened hot water, Jet Dry Rinse Agent, and Cascade Complete. I seem to be getting a film on them which looks like oil but does not feel oily. Is there anything I can do to prevent or fix this?How do I keep my crystal drinking glasses from getting a film on them when washing them in the dishwasher.?
My experience over the years has been that there are some items that just shouldn't be put in a dishwasher -- and glassware is one of them. Over a period of time, the dishwasher will permanently ';etch'; your glasses and ruin them ... and once that's done there's no turning-back ... it's permanent. So my personal rule-of-thumb is that, when it's just my husband and me, I hand-wash my glassware and set it in a dish-drainer to air-dry. But -- if we're having a party and there are ';hundreds'; of glasses to be washed -- then I do use the dishwasher -- because just occasional washing in a dishwasher won't hurt your glassware. I know that's probably not the answer you want to hear, but I have found it to be true. There's just some stuff that I don't put in a dishwasher ...How do I keep my crystal drinking glasses from getting a film on them when washing them in the dishwasher.?
I had a similar problem months ago after we had a huge reception. All the glasses came out with a white sort of film all over as if the rinse cycle hadn't worked, so since then when we have dinner parties, I wash them by hand in Morning Fresh Antibacterial with natural extracts being tea tree and orange. I use only straight hot water for washing and straight hot water for rinsing and the heat of the hot water dries them on the dish rack. Haven't had the same problem since. Hope this is helpful and works for you if you want to give it a shot. Best of luck!
I don't have a dishwasher. However, I add vinegar to my dish water, and the dishes have less water stains on them, even after rinsing them with tap water that has a high calcium and mineral content. So, if you can figure out a way to add vinegar to the dishwasher, it may help.
First wash them by hand in soapy water and just a splash of ammonia. Ammonia makes crystal sparkle! Then start washing them with regular Cascade granules in the dishwasher - not the liquid formula. They should be fine.
hi.. try using plain vinegar for the rinse agent. it has always worked for me.
Just don't use them, they are too good to be used
