Without the help of special detergents, the dishwasher will not bring practical benefits. We know enough about washing powders and tablets, but why is a dishwasher rinse aid used and which is preferable? Let's try to consider these issues.
Washed - do not forget to rinse
Rinse aid for dishwashers is a composition that complements the main detergents. Surely you watched how, after washing and drying on the dishes, spots from water droplets form, or the surface of the plates grow dull. So, this tool helps to get rid of such unaesthetic nuances, gives special shine and purity to glass, ceramic and metal dishes. Devices are not only extremely clean, but also sparkle dazzling!
The “Finish” rinse aid for a dishwasher works in the same way. Liquid formulations completely remove not only food particles from plates and cups, but also residues of strong detergents. Citric or other types of acids in liquid rinses are used to neutralize alkalis, which are the basis of the detergent.
In household appliance stores, the price of a rinse aid for dishwashers ranges from 80-120 rubles. It is customary to buy a product of the same brand as the powder, and the best are considered: "Kalgonit Finish", "Somat", "Crystal", etc.
On average, one bottle of 0.5 liter should be enough for more than 10 cycles of operation of the dishwasher. So do not forget: to make your glasses, plates, pans and pans look perfect, add a good liquid rinse to the main detergent composition.
What is the difference between detergent compositions
Detergents specially designed for dishwashers differ from powders and gels for manual cleaning of dishes primarily in that the temperature of the machine, more precisely, the temperature of the water in it, reaches 60 degrees Celsius - and this is much more than with a manual process . Therefore, all powders and gels for machines are designed for such a "hot" interaction.
Further: several times more are those that remove contaminants of surface-active substances in chemicals for automatic machines, and hands should be protected. By the way, you should not use ordinary gels for washing dishes, because in the dishwasher they simply can not cope with the task of cleaning plates, spoons and especially pots. In addition, with an automated washing, they foam too much and leak out, which is sure to harm household appliances. So every detergent should be used strictly according to the instructions and purpose.
What are rinsing agents made of?
Rinse aid for the dishwasher, the composition of which is always indicated on the bottle, does not pose a danger to a healthy person, since during normal operation of the dishwasher it is completely washed off during a long rinse. However, if you suffer from allergic diseases, it will be better if at the end of the washing cycle you run your “assistant” again in the rinse mode. By the way, in many models of household appliances such a program is provided in advance.
The composition of different brand rinses may vary, but they usually include: ethanol, natural acid (lactic, citric); tensides - substances that reduce the surface tension of water and create a protective film on the surface of dishes; as well as fatty alcohols, sugar surfactants and water.
The essence of the rinse process
What is the essence of this process? The fact is that the finishing mode heats water jets to a high temperature, which somewhat reduces the drying process. Rinse aid for dishwashers accelerates the evaporation of water even more , reducing its surface tension. This is very important in terms of saving energy costs, because it makes it possible to use fast condensation drying in automatic sinks.
The user fills up the cleaning agent through the regulating dispenser, and it is necessary to use the quantity recommended in the instructions. The dishwasher also has an opening for supplying a liquid rinse agent, which, among other things, prevents limescale from forming and is used sparingly. So, having bought one bottle of rinse aid, you will ensure high-quality washing and drying of dishes for a long time.
Universal tablets for automatic sinks
Often, customers choose not special, but universal tools for an automatic machine that can cope with all tasks at the same time. This saves money and time. Therefore, special tablets for dishwashers are becoming so popular.
They contain all the necessary components - the main detergent, salt to soften the water and rinse aid. With such a tablet, you no longer need any additional compounds for effective cleaning of dishes. Quick and easy!
Cost-effective multi-purpose pills manage complex stains and edible fat. They will protect your favorite dishwasher from limescale, eliminate not very pleasant smells. And the dishes will be cleanly washed, with a shiny surface!

Where to rinse
In each dishwasher, in addition to the department for the main detergent, there are two more: a salt container and a rinse aid dispenser, which is added through an opening on the inner panel of the door.
The first is perfect cleanliness, the second is safety
According to the researchers, dishwasher rinse does not pose a threat to health. In any case, no more than any other household chemicals. Maybe this is due to the increased content in the composition of mineral components and a minimum of organic substances. The use of tools specially developed for the dishwasher eliminates contact with hands, so there is no danger for the skin.
Do not worry about your health and enjoy your free time while your dishwasher works for you!
