Its probably due to the removal of phospates from all of the dish soaps. They clean way, way worse, but supposedly are less harmful to the environment.
A dishwasher service man told me to use Finish Powerball cubes ... they are individually wrapped in plastic, so you have to open them to put them in the dishwasher. But, they disolve 100%; compared to the Gel caps where the plastic can leave a residue.

Yep, Glisten works for that. I've used it to clean stains off pots and pans, plastics, glasses, dishes, and the dishwasher. Maybe Lemi-Shine will work .... it seems I'll have to try it as Glisten may have disappeared.

I just double checked under my sink and it's actually lemi shine that I have as well. We used to buy glisten at CT but looks like last time I went to buy it they didn't carry it anymore. I can confirm that lemi shine does work just as well like Bend It said. I'll understand if you remove your thanks above.

I was going to go to a Canadian Tire tomorrow ... darn it!!! I guess I will try Lemi-Shine. I've seen that on Amazon.com, you can order Glisten, but I havent tried it yet; they probably dont deliver to Canada like so many other items.
