[Shop-talk] Best dishwasher?

[Tim]

I have seen this happen to glass ware and plastic ware but thought it was actually the glass and plastic getting scratched (etched) by hard water, crappy detergent or scotch brite scrubbies actually damaging the glass or plastic. We don't have a dishwasher (yet) and I seen this happen with some of out stuff that was done by hand washing using scrubbies.

While on the topic of washers and soap ...

I have a late-model, low-end Maytag that, so far, has performed adequately.  My choice was limited by the small size of 
my kitchen enclosure--it was the only one I could find locally that would fit.

Anyway, for the last year or so--coincident with the detergent reformulation?--I've noticed a problem.  My son drinks a 
LOT of milk, specifically 1% lowfat, and my glasses have acquired a semi-permanent milky residue.  It's almost as if the 
milk is etching the glass.  It can be mostly scrubbed off with a Scotchbrite pad/sponge, but this is a PITA (and try to 
get a 20-year-old semi-man to do this).

Anybody else seeing this phenomenum?
