The cloudy film is most likely caused by hard water. If you don't normally use a Finish-type rinse aid in your dishwasher, this may be the time to start.

White vinegar may also help resolve the issue. If these fail, it is most likely because the cloudiness has been present for several cycles.

After removing the top of the bottle and emptying its contents, you then poke holes at the bottom of the bottle. Then, fill the bottle with dryer sheets. After you take a hit, you then blow the smoke through the top of the bottle, and the dyer sheets vent the smell out of the wholes poked at the bottom. Another way is to open up all of your windows, turn on the ceiling fan (if you have one in your room), and turn a table fan or other ground fan towards the window.

How do you get rid of the smell of wood finish in a cabinet?

There are a few options. Air it out, spray Febreze in it (probably not good for the finish), use some orange scented wood cleaner, burn a candle in the cabinet (hopefully the finish fumes aren't flammable) or some other smelly good that will diffuse through the cabinet. For best results, leave the cabinet closed while doing this.

It doesn't seem like a good idea to burn a candle in a cabinet!
