Hi having read somewhere on the old style saving I now use biological soap powder (shops own brand) in my dishwasher and vinegar for rinse add. I am lucky in that we don't need salt here as the waters really soft. Pots are always clean and no nasty taste left on the plates either.

Hi since being hooked on this site I have used a good squirt of Stardrops instead of dishwasher powder or tablets ( And I live in a soft water area but no trouble with too many bubbles ) and white vinegar instaed of rinse aid and all comes out sparkly clean --- except porridge pan of course !!!

I did try value wsing powder-nothing wrong with the cleaning just the taste and smell it left. Same with the vinegar-not a smell I like. I may try a squirt of stardrops though next time. Cant get away with the salt due to being in a hard water area. Im still amazed that people buy the "5 in one" plus rinseaid and salt!

Freebird sheepishly raises a hand and admits to using Finish 5in1 powerballs (whatever they are...they were on special inTesco), salt AND rinse aid....am in VERY hard water area though....not that it's any excuse.

By the way, angelatgraceland - is your avatar a Swarovski Xmas angel ornament?

I'm with you freebird. I'm actually looking forward to 6in1, such is my life currently...
