Why does my dishwasher leave food dried food on my glasses?

Question

Is there anyway to stop this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Well your dishwasher could be old, or cheap.  Or it could be your soap, if they do that with mine i just run them again with more soap it helps.  It could be the motor isnt as strong as it should be...

Answer 2

Is what I ALWAYS do, is rinse out all the food and liquid BEFORE i put them in the dishwasher..

Answer 3

If it didn't used to leave crud, it may be that the holes that let the spray in are getting a little clogged and don't have the blast power they used to.  Run some diswasher cleaner through (the kind that removes hard water lime) and see if that helps -- if it's been a while you might want to do it twice.

It's in the nature of dishwashers to leave stuff on the dishes; proper procedure is to rinse in the sink to remove all food particles before loading -- really a dishwasher is more of a sterilizer.  Keep in mind that if you put in a plate with stuff on it and don't run the dishwasher until the next day, that gunk will be on there like industrial glue by then . . . the hard part for me was training the kids to rinse well before loading!!

Answer 4

Do you put any rinsing agent in yours? sometimes that helps, plus I have found that if I over load mine, sometimes things like my glasses do not come out looking as clean as they should.  

Answer 5

Hard to say really- but dish washer ads  say "washing tablets"work

miracles!~(?).

cheers!

Also try a new-brand of dish washing powder?

Or just do a second wash or hand wash again?.
