How Do I Remove Spots On Glassware?

Question: How Do I Remove Spots On Glassware?

Answer: The first possible problem is with the dishwashing water temperature. Try increasing the water temperature to be hotter. If you're having trouble standing the water temperature necessary for non-spotted dishes, try wearing rubber gloves, disposable gloves, or latex free gloves to protect your hands.

The other problem may be that you are using too much dishwashing liquid. Using too much makes rinsing dishes more difficult and usually leaves a film.

Another problem could be that your water is too dirty to continue washing items effectively. Change your dishwater, and try washing your glassware first, before tableware, pots, and pans.
