Brown Stains on Dishes or the Dishwasher Interior

Possible Solutions

Are there brown stains?

Brown stains are likely due to high iron content in the water supply. In order to remove stains, use affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner in the covered section of the detergent dispenser and rewash dishes (after food soil has been removed). Do not use detergent. Follow with a normal wash cycle with detergent. If treatment is needed more often than once a month, the installation of an iron removal unit is recommended.

affresh® cleaners are available at many retailers. Find one here.
