It is your tap water, you live in an area with "hard" water. Usually that's calcium deposits along with other hard minerals..I get that build up in my dishes as well as the shower, tub, toilet...*sigh*




>>I don't have a problem with any slime - just a hard grainy crust. If it dries it turns white or off-white. When wet it actually feels a bit like sandpaper. I have seen this in other people's collections as well as my own - in three different locations in this country, with different enough water quality between these locations that I do not suspect my tap water to be the culprit.

>>Any slime I have ever seen goes away with a good antibacterial dish soap.
