I was a nearly lifetime-subscriber to Amy Dacyszyn's "The Tightwad
Gazette" - one bit of research she wrote about was how much dishwasher
detergent you need to use. The results stated that you could get
perfectly good results by filling the "fill" cups half-way (or even
less) with the detergent. I wonder if overuse of detergent might be
behind some of the scratching or etching?

(And am waiting with some amusement to see if I get the "She was a
frugal fanatic" kind of replies. :-))
