My issue is I don't really know why this is happening. I've got the high loop installed under my sink so I don't think that's the issue. Is it possible the drain hose is too long? I need to buy two standard ones from Home Depot (10ft I think) to make it reach from the dishwasher to the sink. That's the only thing I can think off, but I don't want to try a somewhat difficult solution (where I simply extend some plumbing behind the dishwasher so the drain hose is shorter) if that's not the issue.
EDIT: I did replace the dirty drain hose about 6 months ago as I thought it was just the fact that the old owners hadn't done that in a long time. However, it's just as dirty again in that short amount of time.

I don't know if this will help...you may have something else going on there, but worth a try.
We never seemed to have any luck with dishwashers until we had a repairman over a couple years ago. His advice to keep a dishwasher working best is that it's all about the soap and to only ever use Finish Quantum Max powerball. Specifically, not just the Finish powerball, but make sure its the Finish Quantum Max powerball. Also to run it on the longest settings.
I was skeptical, but we've never had dishes not getting clean since. For a while we were running it on the extended length, pots and pans super wash, sanitize setting or whatver, but we don't even bother with that anymore, just normal wash.
