Here is an example of waterspots on my spaghetti scooper. Not all glasses
and utensils are exactly this way, some are different in their spotting and
streaking, but this utensil was more easily photographed.
I took it in a totally darkened room with flash.

Why did you post this? Did I miss a question?
If you're looking for a solution, check the hardness of your water (if
you have a softener, make sure it's working); use a rinse aid in your
dishwasher; or hand-dry everything.

Ack! That's awful. When I used the Lemmi it eliminated all that. I'm not
sure what to suggest now except to have both the softener and the D/W checked
out.
What about your neighbors...are there any you could ask if they are having a
similar problem?

What a surreal photograph! Is Jones Soda still accepting submissions? Title
it "37 Grains."
That is what my dishes looked like before I finally broke down and admitted
I had to get the water softener going and fine tuned to working order. I
don't own my home, and that kind of appliance maintanence should have been
the responsibility of the landlord, but I might as well hold my breath and
turn blue. He won't do anything, so I have to.
Soften your water AND use a rinse agent. Our water here is 37 grains.
Without softening, it forms a crust on everything it touches. Even with
softening, it needs a rinse agent to clear everything off surfaces.
First, run an empty load with Lemmi Shine or white vinegar to clean the crud
out of the machine itself. Then, if you are still not softening your water,
run your cruddy dishes in Lemmi Shine or mild white vinegar solution to get
them cleaned off.
Then never, never do another load without rinse agents. Buy detergents with
rinse agents already added, and use liquid rinse agent in your automatic
dispenser.

Ewww! You're not talking a few random spots :P And it clearly has
nothing to do with glass etching.
I still think you should have the dishwasher examined. In the
meantime, try running a cycle with 1/2 c vinegar and NO detergent, no
dishes, just to "freshen up" the dishwasher. I do that every so often
even though I don't have any trouble. You'd be surprized how sudsy
the water can be without detergent. Then I run a short cycle with
plain water to rinse every bit of the vinegar out.

I'll do this. Thanks for viewing my picture and advice. (Same thing
happened with previous dishwasher, not too many years ago, but I wouldn't
rule it out the dishwasher.) Also our water softener is working ok -
according to spouse who maintains our own water softener -- but he is going
to take a sample of water to Culligan to see if they will inspect it. Our
water (after softening) is definitely even softer than water we use to wash
dishes in the simple dishwasher there, and the water there is not as hot;
and bath in, in CT.
Thanks again,
Dee Dee

Hmm, what is it... whatever, to keep it from corroding you really need
to stop using it as your speculum.
