Damn, I was really hoping he’d have something I hadn’t tried. Most of these are just “how to use a dishwasher” stuff I learned as a kid. And my dishes still don’t get clean.

I use the lemishine shit in every wash, because I have very hard water, and frankly it’s still not enough with all the other tricks to actually clean my dishes if they aren’t already kinda clean..

The big downside of running acid through your dishwasher is that it will strip paint off stuff with continued use. Lost a bunch of kiln-fired printed glassware this way. Don’t recommend.

I do have a whole house polyphosphate water softener I need to install, which I’m hoping will help, but my city is doing work on the water mains, so I’m holding off until that’s done.
