I just checked, and my detergent (Finish Quantum) has alcohol ethoxylates in it. I wonder if with newer high efficiency dishwashers that use less water, this stuff isn't getting rinsed off as well.


Always run the extra rinse and sanitize cycle


That uses rinse aid, which is the problem.


Not if you grew up in a household that never used "rinse aid" and never thought to look up what the little clear plastic window on the inside of dishwasher doors is for!


I stopped refilling mine after reading this research and noticed no difference in my dishes after washing. Really seems like a pointless extra step.


You can put vinegar instead, right?
