RE: White stains/marks after cleaning
No idea as to what it might be. When I clean my equipment, it's HOT water and Dawn liquid dish soap.

RE: White stains/marks after cleaning
Mineral content in the water, hard water? From a private well or municipal water supply?
Hot water and Dawn dish liquid here also.

RE: White stains/marks after cleaning
Thanks all for your response. Yes I do use the municipal water supply. I don't have Dawn liquid dish soap where I live.
I think it is likely calcium from the tap water. I'll try cleaning it with water from my distiller, or/and with vinegar and see if that works...

Vinegar should get rid of all those marks / stains. I use it in my water reservoir as needed and it works great.
