What is it doing to my dishes and stainless??
Complaint
Judy Parks
Country: United States
My corelle plates now have a dull finish and so does my stainless, as well as my now cloudy glasswear. Everything feels sticky and coated. This happened when I began using cascade from the new box with Dawn marking and lemon scent. I've used cascade for many years before this without a problem.
How can I correct this??? And can I get a refund for this inferior "new" product?

We have called Miele repair 3 times. The 1st time we were told that it was something we were doing wrong and to make sure we used less dishwashing powder, as it was accumulating on everything. The 2nd time we were told that a detergent residue had built up on the inside of the dishwasher for the past 12 months and it was now leeching onto the plates. Miele sent us a liquid to use with an empty wash cycle which would clean the insides. That cleaned the dishwasher, but the next load of dishes had the white residue again. Finally a 3rd call was enough for Miele to acknowledge that there might be a problem with the detergent. They are sending us their phosphate-free detergent. We'll see if that works.
We are terribly disappointed that P&G let their product on the market without adequate testing. We have no idea what the 'film' is and how much we have ingested as we struggled to clean our dishes.
For now, we're stuck with this kitchen environmental 'disaster'. It's much more than a few white blemishes on our dishes and we will not "suck it up" as inferred by many 'Green' bloggers. But since we are in a no-phosphate state, does anyone know of a detergent that DOES work? Obviously Cascade is out. But what can we use until sanity is restored in the dishwasher detergent marketplace?
Have no idea how to get the brown stains out (Actually looks like a spilled coffee on porcelain surface,, but it's plastic) and i don;t wash coffee or tea in the dishwasher. But I think I will try Sunlite detergent and virgar wash Maybe that will help.
I was going to complain to cascade P&G but that sounds fruitless after readin fg the onine complaints. I kjust hate corprate America. It's a;; about the dollar. Well, I watch where i spend my dollar and what TV programs use what advertisers.
It's the only way i can feel like i have any control over the products they throiw at us.
Hope all have a wonderful day and let's keeop sharing....We are cerainly in this together.
My dishes are dirty when the come out, so I waste more water rewashing them. The best part is the companies never tell anyone the formula's been changed until many of us spent a lot of money repairing dishwashers that weren't broken.
At first, I also thought it was a problem with my dishwasher.
Once I switched to the Costco liquid detergent, I had no further problems, but it was a pain scrubbing off the white film on everything.
customers of a wonderful company have been teaching our friends and
family about the negative effects of phosphates and
chlorine in automatic dishwashing detergents. Sometimes
they didn't seem to believe us did they?
As you will learn from the news story below, phosphate-free
dishwashing detergents that actually work are challenging
to develop. Wait until you listen to what Proctor and
Gamble's customers are saying about P and G's new
product...Not Good!
Even the spokesman from the American Institute of Cleaning
attempts to defend the major manufactures by stating that
developing a phosphate free dishwashing detergent is very
difficult and will take time!
We already have one!
(I have no sympathy for P & G. They knew the negative
effects on the environment years ago and chose to take the
easy way out and ignore the damage caused while still
putting it in their products.)

The one we have been using is phosphate free and chlorine free dishwashing
detergent. It not only works better than
anything on the market, it is less expensive...and
MADE-IN-AMERICA. It is four times more
concentrated as the leading brand. AND IT WORKS!
This company manufactures 300+
other outstanding & environmentally sensitive
products! It would be my pleasure to help you. Just ask!
