What product is effective in doing dishes in hard water?
You could try "Calgon" water softener -- website http://www.homesolutionsnews.us/calgon/.
Comes as powder or liquid. Lots more on Wikipedia.

If you're using a dishwasher, I can't say enough good things about LemiShine. Some pix.

If you're handwashing, have you tried microfibre cloths instead of sponges?

I've found regular dishsoap to be ok in the sink. In the dishwasher you can use regular dishwasher detergent; this may leave white spots on the dishes, and to counter this you can use a "rinsing agent" (a separate product, it's a liquid you pour into a separate reservoir in the dishwasher).
Or are you doing these things now and having problems? If so, what problems are you having?
