How to remove white film from glassware, dishware, and the interior of my GE Dishwasher?
A white film on glassware, dishware, and the interior of your GE dishwasher is likely caused by a low-quality phosphate-free dishwasher detergent. To remove it, run a dishwasher cycle with citric acid, using Finish® Dishwasher Cleaner. Alternatively, a vinegar rinse may be used by pouring 1 cup of vinegar into the dishwasher just after the detergent cup opens and letting the dishwasher complete its cycle. This may be repeated several times a year as needed. The use of a rinse agent such as Finish® Jet-Dry® Rinse Aid may help minimize a repeat build up of film. Also, the use of a highly rated detergent such as Finish® Quantum® Automatic Dishwashing Detergent will help prevent film build-up.
