That's a shame that happened and I have no idea if it will reverse. After having all my glasses etch in my previous home I'll never switch DW detergent again. I'd contact Kroger corporate and describe what happened and include photos to illustrate the problem. You may never hear back but at least you've alerted them to the problem.

I wish I had “before“pictures of my pots to show them, for comparison. and of course, they will suggest it’s my water or My DW.

What material are your pots and pans that are affected? I guess you could try something like vinegar on your glasses to see if it removes the stain, but if it's etching nothing will affect it.

They are stainless. It’s like white streaks. The glasses affected are mainly the last two ikea 8 oz glasses.

Do you use a rinse-aid? Finish sells one, called Jet-Dry. It's a liquid and you put it in a separate dispenser. We use Walmart detergent (recommended by consumer reports at the time, works great) and have not had any issues but if we run out of rinse-aid, we start getting the white streaks on everything - the black plastic utensils, the glasses, etc. Try washing everything a few times with rinseaid in the dishwasher - sounds like that might help. My guess is the finish powder probably has some rinse-aid-type-chemical built in but the Kroger brand doesn't.

I do use Finish Rinse Aid. Funny you should mention that, though, lkplatow. When the DW tells me to add rinse-aid, for the first few washes there is an excess of the product on the dishes in front of the dispenser, which I have to rinse off in the sink, then by the 3rd or 4th wash things are fine. But that’s been going on for awhile, whereas the streaking has only started with the Kroger. But yes, maybe the Finish powder has something in it to help the rinse-aid.

By any chance do you have a water softener and could you be out of pellets? That has also happened to us and it definitely results in white stuff all over the dishes -- that unfortunately seems more permanent than the white streaks from lack of rinse aid. I'm guessing this is not the case since you can tie it to the detergent switch but figured I'd throw it out there as something else to check.

Good thought, but no, we don’t have a water softener. Our municipal water comes from Lake Michigan and is filtered,
