It’s a terrific rinse-aid that combats water stains like no other.​

Some people put vinegar in the rinse aid compartment, but the vinegar could compromise the integrity of the compartment’s gaskets. To be on the safe side, put the vinegar in a dishwasher-safe bowl on the top rack of your dishwasher. (This also helps the vinegar reach the dishes most affected by hard water marks.)

What a relief—and a simple joy in life that I have learned to appreciate—to pull actually clean-looking dishes out of the dishwasher!

One more tip:​

You can also put white vinegar to work to clean your dishwasher itself. The process is quick and simple, and involves no scrubbing on your part (yes!).
