the stainless steel. Prolonged adhesion, especially with an acid based food, can cause discoloration or pitting.
Confirm the cloudiness is removable by soaking the item in white vinegar for approximately 5 minutes. If
removed, the problem is due to hard water. Adjust detergent amount being used to match water hardness. Be
sure detergent is fresh, stored properly and is a high quality brand.
Cloudy/Spotted If cloudiness is not removable, it is etching. This is an erosion of the surface of the glassware and can be caused
by water that is too hot, from using too much detergent or by prewashing. Detergent needs food soil to act upon.
If etching has occurred, the glassware is permanently damaged. To prevent further etching, adjust the detergent
amount to match the water hardness, stop prewashing, and be sure incoming water temperature is not greater
than 140°F (60°C). Use water heating options only when incoming water temperature is below 120°F (49°C).
