Still Needs Some Checking

Like I said before, I did try cleaning our dishwasher with the dishwasher cleaner that my father-in-law recommended.  Sure does the appliance got cleaned.  The limes and soap scums had been removed from the racks and the inside of the dishwasher.  Now the thing is, the cleaning is just for the dishwasher itself. On the other hand, I loaded dirty dishes in there and tried to run a cycle.  The dishes got very clean but the utensils did not look good.  There's still something stuck on them.  White film.  

My father-in-law said that there must be something in the water.  He asked if my husband has been checking the water heater.  Because the water heater, he said, should be checked periodically to see if there's something wrong with it that affects the running water in the house.  

As of the moment, I am sticking to running the dishwasher in Normal Cycle with lesser detergent.  Ah, what a pain. 

Cleaning The Dishwasher

We were having this problem with our dishwasher that it leaves soap scum on the glasses and plates after dish washing.  I was very upset about it.  My father-in-law recommended a dishwasher cleaner that he used and he said it was very effective.  Because minerals in the water build up in the dishwasher overtime, it will affect the performance of the appliance.  It may lead to films and soap scum on glasses and plates.

So I bought one from Walmart and tried the cleaner today.  Surely the dishwasher got cleaned and the racks felt smooth when I pulled them out and pushed back in.  My honey was surprised to see how clean the inside is.  Now we can't wait to try it. But we have to wait 'till the dishwasher is full of dirty dishes and silverware before we turn it on.  As soon as we do, I will let y'all know about the result.

How about you?  What dishwasher cleaner do you use?  Any tricks?  Tips and recommendations are highly appreciated.
