glass objects: remove
all metal objects from
the dishwasher. Use the
prescribed quantity of
detergent. Select the longest

repeat the above steps, but
use a quarter cup (60 ml) of
citric acid crystals in place of
white vinegar.
Use less detergent and
choose the glass cycle,
which you can use to clean
glassware.
Contact a manufacturer of
water softeners for a special
filter.
