To dislike cloudy glassware?

[Washed]

New(ish) to the world of dishwashing and dismayed to find my glasses are fast becoming cloudy. I haven't noticed this at other people's houses over the years and wonder what I can do differently?

It's a 2022 model Beko and I use the eco cycle to save money. I also use tesco own brand combination tablets but make sure salt and rinse aid is full.

I began to hand wash glasses but the whole point in a dishwasher was to not need to do this, and I'm getting sore hands again, though appreciate I could get into marigolds again but am loathe to if there's an answer.

I always hand wash my good glasses, only pint glasses go in the dishwasher. I think they always go cloudy and squeaky.

Is use Lidl own brand salt and their tablets with salt. Never had an issue. Is it your water?

It can be limescale - soak in vinegar to see if it comes off. Or it can be etching of the glass which can't be removed. Some glass is more durable than others. Our ikea glasses are lasting well so far

It’s either hard water deposits - or if you’re in a soft water area might be glass corrosion. Does it come off if you clean it with vinegar? If it does then I’d say try a different tablet in future (I use Finish and don’t have this problem in a very hard water area). Also use a dishwasher cleaner on a very hot setting once a month to clear the debris and limescale in the machine.

Oohhh... i'm in a very hard water area and haven't tried vinegar but will definitely give that a go. Do I soak it or just scrub it? And I'm assuming you mean white vinegar?

I'm interested that the finish tablets don't seem to have the problem, and the only reason I use the Tesco ones is simply cost, but it would be cheaper than buying replacement glasses all the time or expensive handcream, because my skin gets painfully sore and I know I can't trust myself to always put marigolds on. I start out well but can fall for the 'just this one time' bracket too easily.

I'm very good at a monthly wash out of the Dyson filter and hot wash in the washing machine, but I have completely an utterly missed that it would be beneficial to a dishwasher and so will add that also to my schedule, thank you very much!

Incidentally, how do I know which kind of glasses would be okay and which wouldn't? To me glasses are just glasses when I buy them in the shop and I'm surprised that IKEA ones are lasting well because at first it sounded like they would have to be very expensive.

These are the drinking glasses we have. The wine glasses are short stubby stemmed ones by Jamie Oliver that I don't think you get any more
