Do I need rinse aid?
✓ Not required, but can help
Dishwashing Tabs are formulated to work without rinse aid. However, some dishwashers and water types benefit from it. If your dishes are coming out with water marks, cloudy glassware, or not drying well, adding rinse aid can improve results.
⚠ When rinse aid helps most
Hard water areas where mineral-rich water leaves deposits. Dishwashers that struggle with drying. Loads with lots of plastic items, which hold water droplets more than glass or ceramic.
