No, I dont rinse first, unless its a staining pasta sauce and Im worried about the other dishes in the same load.

My manual for the dishwasher actually says not to rinse; it claims its a waste of water.

In my case, rinse or no rinse leaves me the same problem. A slow and gradual build up of calcium and lime film, due to the well water we have. Over weeks, the dishwasher itself gets coated with a white chalky film, and at that point, it starts to stay on the dishes too. Just before that is when I run an empty load with Glisten or LemiShine.

I've just started putting a small amount (maybe 1/2 tsp) of LemiShine in with the soap, and things are coming out crystal clean - better than ever. It doesnt seem as any film is building on the dishwasher either, but its only been a week. I'm curious to see if anything film builds within the usual month.
