Silica film or etching (silica film is a milky, rainbow-colored deposit; etching is
a cloudy film)
Sometimes there is a water/chemical reaction with certain types of glassware.
This is usually caused by some combination of soft or softened water, alkaline
washing solutions, insufficient rinsing, overloading the dishwasher, and the
heat of drying. It might not be possible to prevent the problem, except by hand
washing.
To slow this process use a minimum amount of detergent but not less than 1 tbs
(15 g) per load. Use a liquid rinse aid and under load the dishwasher to allow
thorough rinsing. Silica film and etching are permanent and cannot be removed.
Do not use heated drying.
