So a while back, my husband and I started noticing that our glasses weren't getting clean in our dishwasher. We were a little confused by this problem because our dishwasher wasn't that old. We had thought about calling our appliance repairman but hesitated since it was no longer under warranty. Instead, I began hand washing our glasses. Which was kind of a pain. It took a lot of time and looked messy having dishes constantly drying on our counter top. We soon discovered the cause of our cloudy glass problem - changes in the ingredients of our dish washing liquid. And all brands were affected. So, I continued to hand wash. adding more work to my day. Until Monday. I was searching through Pinterest and I found the solution. A homemade rinse agent. And here's the best part - it's cheap!
I found this tip at
Whole New Mom. Ready? Just add white vinegar to the rinse aid compartment. Yup, that's all. So, I tried it. And it worked!! Woohoo! The glasses were so clear. We actually thought all of the dishes felt cleaner. It was just what I was looking for. BTW, I simply added white vinegar, as my indicator will tell me when I need to add more. If your dishwasher doesn't have an indicator, you can add a drop of food coloring to the vinegar so it's easier to see in the compartment.
I love this tip! And I am so happy to be able to put everything in the dishwasher again!
