Why rust in Dishwasher?
Sometimes when I pull silverware out of the dishwasher I have rust stains on them! They were not there before! Does anyone have any idea why that would happen??? They come off with Brillo pad but how did they get there in the dishwasher? (FYI: I have a whole house soft water system and very hot water)
