Rinse Agent?

StrawberryAlarmClock

Something made me check the ingredients in dishwasher rinse agent (Jet Dry). I was wondering what I was purposefully smearing all over our dishes and glasses. I was expecting some sort of alcohol and a food grade thickener like gelatin. The ingredients in rinse agent are: Water, Rinse Aid , Dispersing Agent [:&], Colorant, Quality Control Agent. Uhhhhhhh....thanks for the help there. That tells me nothing. Which, in turn, tells me that I don't want this crap on my dishes. Thoughts?

Yeah, I'd ditch it.  We've never used one and don't have problems.  We use eCover tabs for our detergent and they rinse clean.  I know some ladies on here use vinegar so maybe try that if you feel like you need something.

I use Lemi-Shine along side my detergent and it leaves my glasses crystal clear (without it my glasses look filthy and cloudy, like awful).

We started using white vinegar and the change is amazing.  My dishes actually get clean.  It doesn't last as long as Jet Dry, so check your level more often.
