Problem
May Be Caused By
What to Do
Yellow or brown marks
(cont.)
Washing copper with sterling
silver
Yellow film on sterling silver results when you
wash copper utensils in same load. Silver
polish will usually remove this type of stain.
Tea or coffee (tannic acid)
stains
Remove tea or coffee stains by hand using
a solution of ½ cup bleach and 3 cups warm
water. (Do not use on sterling silver or silver
plate.)
Discoloration of stain-
less steel, silver plate
Allowing salty or acidic foods to
remain on flatware
Rinse flatware that is to stand several hours
before washing.
Stainless steel contacting silver Do not put stainless steel and silver flatware
in the same silverware basket compartment.
Direct contact to stainless steel can cause per-
manent damage to silver.
Clean stained items with silver polish.
Do not use abrasives on stainless steel or
silver.
Distortion of plastics
Plastic item not dishwasher safe Do not wash plastic items in dishwasher that
are not “dishwasher safe.”
Marks on melamine and
plastics
Porous material
Use a special cleaner for plastic.
Cloudy film on glass-
ware - etching of glass
Too much detergent, especially
in soft water
Do not use bleach or scouring powder on these
materials.
To remove cloudy film, try a vinegar rinse:
Wash and rinse load as usual.
•
Remove all metal items from dishwasher. Do
•
not add detergent.
Pour 2 cups of vinegar into a bowl and set it
•
on bottom rack.
Run dishes through an entire wash program.
•
If the vinegar rinse does not work, repeat
process substituting ¼ cup of citric acid crys-
tals (available at most drug stores) for the
vinegar.
If vinegar or citric acid rinse does not remove
film, the cloudiness is “etching”. This is per-
manent. To prevent etching, if you have soft
water, try using only 1 teaspoon of recom-
mended dishwasher detergent.
Use a good quality dishwasher detergent and
rinse aid. Do not overload dishwasher. Water
should circulate freely to assure adequate rins-
ing and draining.
Rinse aid used with soft water
Set rinse aid levels to minimum.
