Lemi Shine? Detergent Booster - 12oz.

My water glasses were totally clouded and smudged and dirty looking. I hand washed them and that did not help. I soaked them in vinegar and that did not help. I changed dishwasher detergent several times and that did not help. I was about to buy a new dishwasher and ran across Lemi Shine Super. One washing and you can now see through my glassware. They are totally clear except for the scratches you can see where I had scrubbed them trying to get the cloudiness and smudges cleaned off. I thought perhaps the Lemi would also get my black cooktop streak and smudge and water spot free. Don't try that. What a mess that was. (The best thing for that is still Odo-Ban spray and a microfiber cloth. And that still is not satisfactory.) Since Lemi is expensive to use every load, after running the glasses through two loads, I ran them through with just a new dishwasher liquid I just bought - Palmolive ECO Dishwasher Liquid. They did not cloud back up. I will see how long it takes using just the ECO to make them cloudy again. Before using the Lemi I ran the glasses through with just the ECO and they were still cloudy and dirty looking, but I am hoping the ECO does not create (or allow the water to create) the cloudy film like the other detergents have.

Since I moved to AZ a few years ago I noticed my dishes we slowly building up a layer or haze on them. I tired elbow grease and a 3M pad but with little result. I looked up some reviews from notable testing sources and this product did very well. It is cheap so I gave it a try. After just 1 wash the difference was very noticeable. More so on my dishes than my glasses but still a big improvement. Subsequent washes have continued to bring my dishes back from the brink. I will most likely keep using this until it is gone and then but another container of it in a year to keep things tip top.
