Dishwasher Yellow or Brown Stains on Dishes

Yellow or Brown Stains on Dishes:

 
  • Tea or coffee stains in cups can be removed by hand using a solution of 1/2 cup bleach and 3 cups of warm water.
  • An over-all yellow or brown film on dishes can be caused by iron deposits in water. This may be apparent on glassware which develops a yellow or brown tint but is still transparent. The installation of an iron filter in the water supply line removes the cause of this problem and is the only permanent solution.
  • Yellow film on sterling silver can result when copper utensils are washed in the same load.
