Even after adding a dash of powder detergent to the pre-rinse (by just tossing some in)?

You can also eliminate mineral build-up from hard water by adding a cup of white vinegar to a cup or dish in the top rack (left facing up).

Different person, but yes, even after watching the TC video. I preheat the water too. And it's a fairly recent Miele dishwasher.

Rinsing the dishes definitely helps cut down on this, though. And occasionally checking the filter at the bottom. A little rinsing goes a long way, I've found.

My dishwasher has a thing for expensive "rinse aid" they think I'm going to put in there. Vinegar works great!
