About a week ago I finally got pretty disgusted with the cloudiness of my dishes after they had been washed in our somewhat new DW. It is not a top of the line but it is new enough that I felt it shouldn't be happening. DH said it was the hardness of our well water. I have only used Cascade DW detergent and didn't really want to use any harsh chemicals to make the dishes shiny.
Similar to Stitchnripper, I decided to pour vinegar into the cup where I normally put the DW detergent and closed the cap. Then, poured vinegar into the open cup where I normally put DW detergent... BUT, then I decided to go even further and dumped several cups of vinegar into the bottom of the DW and put it through a complete cycle.
Much to my DELIGHT, my dishes came out sparkling. Now, in every load, I filled the cap that closes with DW detergent and pour about a cup of vinegar into the bottom of my DW. I am absolutely lovin' my sparkling dishes. Ahhhhh, clean, shiny dishes are such a delight!
