    We just use Asdas own tablets and the dishes come out just fine without all the other stuff.

    I use DAZ in my dishwasher ( thats right daz as in washing powder)
    I got the tip from this site and thought I would give it a try . I use cheapo rinse aid and no salt ( soft water here in Leeds) .

    Dishes come out whiter than white and I reckon a box of soap powder if solely used for dishwashing ( about £1.80) would last many months.

    Will also try using vinegar instead of rinse aid ( as posted above)
    On the internet you can be anything you want.It`s strange so many people choose to be rude and stupid.

    Oh I might give that ago when my tablets run out. I have been using stardrops since reading about it on here.. but just for cleaning at the moment and I love it mind you it does get quite bubbly

    Any idea how much you use? As in 5 ml or whatever? I'm willing to try this also.
