Funny you should mention this. I was having the same problem, but not only on my batter bowls. I have a dishwasher and I wash everything in there. I started having problems with white residue on everything. First I ran my dishwasher SEVERAL times with just vinegar to get rid of the soap residue. Then I changed from the Costco brand of liquid to Cascade Complete and use 1/2 of one of the 2 dispenser cups. Everything shines...included my batter bowls.

It's so ironic that I came across this post today. At my show last night, I had a guest who said she owned a batter bowl, and used it all the time. She said she didn't have a dishwasher, but after about a year, the Batter Bowl got cloudy and residued...I told her to try vinegar, and she said she tried everything, including CLR! She said she eventually just threw it away.
I've had my batter bowl for years, and never had this problem. Could this be just a "bad" batter bowl, with a production defect, or is this a common occurance?
Just wondering...
