I have to dry plastics(which is very few) but all the glasses, plates, bowls and anything else the glass is dry from the water being so hot.

I noticed during a recent bout of sickness that when I used my "green" dishwasher soap on High heat in the dishwasher, I did not get the film I normally see. Cool thing is if you wash with high heat and rinse you can skip the dry because super hot dishes dry quickly when exposed to air. Now if I can just remember to open the dishwasher immediatly after the last rinse. Still working on that!! I believe the water temp does have something to do with the film.

If you begin to have film problems, (I did when I lived in Cali.) add some vinegar in the Jet dry dispenser or the rinse water in the bottom during the rinse cycle. It also works great for stubborn stuck on stuff or phantom spills in the living room. I also use this as a scouring powder. Works great in the kitchen and bathroom. Keep plenty of this stuff mixed, I just now successfully removed permanant ink off my linoleum floor. (A certain 3-year-old monster just exploded a pen!)
