I ran out of dish soap a few weeks ago, and I came across this same recipe. I found that my dishes were clean, but glassware and ceramic had a film on it. It wiped off easily with a towel.

Note that I tried this exactly 1 time.

Adding a teaspoon of Lemi-shine (which is just citric acid, which you can buy in bulk online) to the late rinse cup will solve that problem.

(The late rinse cup is the one with the door that seals; the early soap cup is the one the door doesn't seal; it is labeled "pre-wash" in the article photo. The pre-wash cup is where you should put the baking soda/Dawn mixture.)

Adding some TSP should help.

TSP is magic. I put it in the laundry from time to time. Used to be built into laundry detergent back in the day, right? Banned now. Well, I only use it for nasty stains and really dirty stuff.

TSP - Tri Sodium Phosphate

It was an effective cleaner and an even more effective fertilizer that fed toxic algae blooms in aquatic environments. Not the best choice unless you don’t have anything else.

Oxi-Clean is what I use 99.99% of the time. TSP is a rarity, and since the vast, vast majority of people here are never putting it in the drains, I don't think it's going to be the end of the world.

In areas with very hard water, it may be the only way to prevent calcium deposits that make dishes feel rough and fog glasses. An appropriate amount is < 1/8 of a tsp (~ 0.6 ml) per load.
