| Removing Rust Stains From Inside Your Dishwasher
Rust stains are usually caused by iron or manganese in the water supply. It can also come from a rusty water heater or rusty water lines. Have your water tested for iron or manganese content. This can be done by a local water utility or w ater quality company, such as Culligan or Kinetico.
It is possible to remove rust stains. Try using a dishwasher cleaner or rust remover, such as Dishwasher Magic*, Glisten*, or RoVer Rust Remover* .
NOTE
If after using RoVer there is a change in drying results, use a rinse aid such as Jet-Dry or Cascade Rinse Aid* to restore good drying performance.
Dishes and Glassware
RoVer can be used on most dishes and glassware. It should not be used on metal items or items with metal trim. Do not use Glisten or Dishwasher Magic on dishes. Follow these steps:
- Load the dishwasher properly.
- Follow the same procedure as for Dishwasher Interior (Steps 1-2 above).
- Follow with a wash cycle using the recommended amount of dishwasher detergent.
NOTE
If after using one of these products there is a change in drying results, use a rinse aid such as Jet-Dry or Cascade Rinse Aid* to restore good drying performance.
If only a few items are stained, the discoloration may be removed by soaking these items in a solution of two tablespoons of RoVer in one gallon of cold water. Do not use a galvanized container for soaking as RoVer will damage galvanized iron. Soak 10 minutes, then wash and rinse thoroughly to ensure none of the dissolved rust remains, as it will reoxidize and turn brown again.
