Using Vinegar As Rinse Aid.
33 Answers
Has anyone tried using vinegar in the dishwasher instead of rinse aid? I'm considering trying it but the thought of vinegar-tasting dishes is putting me off.
Has anyone tried it? Does it leave a taste/smell of vinegar?

ASDA have a 500 ml for £1.20.
And I find Rinse Aid last a year so are you really that broke? If you are then maybe dont run the machine do it by hand, I would suggest there are better savings to be made elsewhere.

Were you looking at Sarson's, youngmafbog? Try looking at Asda's own brand as it's a fraction of the cost (just checked and still 29p for 568ml - although out of stock online). Sainsbury's own brand more expensive at 40p for 568ml.
Some *experts* claim that using a dishwasher is more economical than hand washing, depending on the age of the dishwasher and the way you use it. Newer ones are said to be much more energy-efficient than old ones.
It certainly works for me. My dishwasher uses 1 gallon of water per load and that's certainly less than my washing-up bowl. I run it on a 29 minute cycle in the evening, then open the door and let the dishes air-dry overnight to cut down on cost.
In cold weather I'm happy to leave 2 days' worth of pots in the dishwasher (there's only two of us). I'd never go back to being without it.
I ran it last night with 29p white vinegar in the rinse aid reservoir. Pleased to say it worked a treat.

Emmie, my dishwasher has racks which can be folded down to accommodate bigger items. I have a 6 litre crockpot that fits in, also a huge frying pan. It goes in. And I only have a 9-place setting dishwasher. I guess everybody's dishwasher is different.
I used to say I wouldn't have one, but I'd hate to be without it now.
