In the past few months we've been having cloudy white deposits build up on dishes. I think it is minerals from the water, but I'm not sure. They don't scrub off easily, if at all. Soaking for some minutes in vinegar will loosen the deposits.
My trial and error approach to figuring out what was causing the buildup and how to remove it has led me to a new habit of washing dishes by hand after each meal. I'm finding that to be a beneficial practice.
Spending just a few minutes washing, rinsing, drying and putting away the dishes brings a satisfying completion to each meal, and avoids a gradual accumulation of dishes that later becomes a much larger project.
It's also an opportunity to practice staying with a task until it's done, resisting the urges to distraction.
