How do i stop rust spots and smears on cutlery fresh from the dishwasher??
Everytime i take my clean cutlery out of the dishwasher, there are always rust spots on them and smear marks. The cutlery is dishwasher safe. Please can someone give me some suggestions to stop this, as it;s driving me mad!! The cutlery is brand new and was quite expensive so i dont understand why this is happening!! Thanks
The probelm is the chlorine and formaldehyde in the dish detergent. This is further compounded by the fact that most grocery store products are based on this type of cleaning with harsh chemicals. Even high grade stainless steel can be eaten away by some of the caustic cleaners that most people use. Jet dry and the like have water softeners in it wich are basically types of salts that help the water to run off which will help, but if you are steam drying or heat drying them, they are still susceptable to getting the spots. You should try switching to a natural enzyme based product like diamond brite. The good news is it’s cheaper than cascade and the like as well. It uses natural enzymes and citrus oils to clean your dishes. It even works on caked on baked on food like baked ziti at our house. I hate scubbing dishes, and this stuff works great. There is a whole line of natural cleaners that make your home safer and work better than chemical products. I’m not a salesperson, I just think that what my wife and I have found is wonderful and so much better for our health too. Let me know if you want more info: melachad@gmail.com LIke I said, I don’t sell anything, but I think everybody should know about it.

You need a product called Jet Dry. Also remove your cutlery and hand wipe it ASAP. The nice stuff does not take well to being cleaned by a machine.

It would be a better idea not to put them in , This happen´s because the covering of the metal in the cutlery has be worn off, by the chemicals used in the dishwasher powder. Same thing with me , now I wash them by hand and dry them straight away.

Cutlery doesn’t belong in the dishwasher. I have a feeling yours is ruined. At least you have learned a valuable leson. I have a $35.00 chef’s knife, and it is 30 years old, and looks brand new. It has never seen the inside of a dishwasher, and never will.
