Hard water problems?

We purchased a brand-new quality named dishwasher and quality kitchen stove last summer. We've had absolutely no problems with the stove but the dishwasher is a different story.

We've dealt with dishes being not as clean and spotless as I had expected. When you spend as much money on the machine as we did, I thought that there should hardly be any reason that we should have to "check" the dishes before we put them away. Within about 2 months after we bought it, we started noticing that dirt was being left on the dishes and in the glasses. Little by little and lot by lot, a not so great film began appearing on EVERYTHING that came out of the dishwasher. It got to be such a problem that I was having to handwash all of the so-called CLEAN glasses, etc to get the etching off of the glass. We also have some beautiful dark brown ceramic plates, bowls and coffee mugs that were becoming not so pretty over time.

As I've told you before, I have cleaned the dishwasher repeatedly to get the propellers and everything else clean so that we could get clean dishes in return. As a matter-of-fact, I had just done that last week. Yesterday, the film had reappeared. I was to the point that I was going to contact the manufacturer and do some complaining.

Then, today, while I was shopping in Mel's Foodliner, I discovered that they sale a hard water performance booster for preventing mineral build-up in all dishwashers and that removes cloudy film from glassware. It is called Finish Glass Magic and is produced by the same company that puts out Finish Dishwasher Detergent. This is merely a BOOSTER. You still need to use dishwasher detergent with every load of dishes.

According to the directions, you just need to place 4 (FOUR) tablespoons of the powder at the bottom of your dishwasher BEFORE you begin adding your HOT water. If you are like me and are having spot problems, they recommend that you place 8 (EIGHT) tablespoons of the powder at the bottom of the machine before you add the water. For best results, you should add the booster with every load of dishes. You can purchase a 16-ounce box of Glass Magic for just $4.33. I was very favorably impressed with the price.

So, I left the dishes that I had washed last night and looked BAD in the dishwasher and just followed the directions by using the 8 tablespoon method this time. I placed our Finish Dishwashing Powerball Tablet in the soap dispenser, turned the machine ON and left. After the machine washed, rinsed, dried and sanitized the dishes, I opened the door to take a look. The once mucky dishes had metamorphisized into an absolutely sparking load of dishes. Our brown dishes were just like new again!

So...if you're having any cleanliness or spotting problems, I suggest that you try this product!!!
