Here's a real homemaker question for you folks:

I have a really nice dishwasher from Kitchenaid that's no more than two years old. Up until about 1-3 months ago, it cleaned everything really well. I would just fill the detergent container with Cascade powder, make sure there was still Jet Dry in dispenser, and everything would come out just fine.

Then for some reason all my plastic stuff would come out cloudy, with this weird film on it. I've included a photo (though it shows a lesser case of this problem).

This is ONLY happening to plastic items (well, it's happened to a metal stirring spoon too). I've had no problems with my glassware or my ceramic/porcelain plates and bowls.

Any ideas what's going on? I've been searching around the web this morning, and everyone either talks about glassware specifically.
