  • Dishwashers and lipgloss

    I've noticed that my dishwasher has a hard time getting rid of my lipgloss or chapstick marks on glasses. Do you think the problem is with the dishwasher or the dishwashing detergent (Cascade gel)? What am I doing wrong? Am I the only one with this problem? It's really annoying when I grab a glass that I think is clean, especially if I have company. Help!

    I'm not sure what the deal is...but I do know that mine has been doing the same thing with avocado. Every time I make guacamole I have to hand wash the dishes. laaaaame

      I always wipe off lipstick from the cups and glasses before they go in the D/W- I've never found a dish detergent that can get it off.

        On July 1, 16 states limit phosphorus in dishwasher detergents to 0.5 percent. Previous products could contain up to 8.7 percent, which has driven major manufacturers to reformulate their products for the whole U.S.

          Great! Now why didn't I think of that? I assumed the dishwasher could handle it since all the "experts" say you don't need to rinse the dishes. I guess not. Thanks, Jenn.

            Actually, I'd like to know your brand of lipstick! I only WISH mine would be so waterproof...
