Tip: Using a damp cloth and a
little Miele dishwasher conditioning
agent, you can easily find out if it is a
case of a milky film on the glass or a
case of glass corrosion. If deposits are
easily removed, it is probably limescale
deposits or water stains. If cloudiness
cannot be removed, the cause is glass
corrosion.
Glass corrosion
Glass corrosion is micro-fine deterioration
of the glass surface. It is caused by
components dissolving away from the glass
structure. This results in a modified light
diffusion that becomes visible as a milky
tarnish or iridescence in different shapes.
Glass corrosion is irreversible, meaning
that it cannot be fixed or removed. The only
thing to do is to replace your glasses with
new ones. For general advice on cleaning
and care of your glasses, see

Glassware.
Grainy, coarse or sandy residue
If too much detergent is used, it may settle
on crockery. Another reason may be larger
quantities of food deposits containing
starch. Remove large quantities of foods
containing starch before loading into the
dishwasher.
