"Finish" Jet - Dry is THIN!!

[toggleswitch2]

Jet-Dry Turbo created way too many suds when GadgetGary used it in his classic KitchenAid DW.

I am hugely disappointed that forced-air dry seems to have disappeared in this country; I always beleived that it helps.

I wonder if one could thicken rinse-aid stove-top as one reduces a sauce! *LOL*

Jet Dry and rinse aids.... I never use them. Cascade complete seems to work just fine for me. Glasses come out sparkling clean.

I shouldn't imagine so; the alcohols content that act to reduce tension in the water droplets would probably be boiled off first.

But I know what you mean. Have you ever seen old residues in liquid rinse-aid dispensers? It leaves a kind of crytalised, waxy residue.

Speaking of Jet-Dry and Cascade

I have a Whirpool dishwasher that came with my house. I'm thinking this dishwasher is approx a 2003 model. Every time I put in either Jet-Dry or any other rinse agent I find it has leaked out into the tub the next day. I always make sure that the nob is secured. Any suggestions?

I use Ammonia, just dump it in when my KA stops pumping at the start. Cheap and very effective, although I know some people can't stand the smell. matt

This just proves several points to me.......

First, water conditions vary widely across the United States, and indeed the world.

Secondly, manufacturers can't leave well enough alone.

Thirdly, dishwashers do vary. Considerably.

Lastly, when it was still Jet-Dry, there was a green apple scent formula available here, it worked well, but the scent was surprisingly unpleasant.

Even though the dispenser on my dishwasher works well, I am seriously thinking about going back to the solid bar type of Jet-Dry Finish.

I would use the solid form, except

all I can find it in is lemon scented! My Martha Stewart Everday Dishes say specifically not to use any product that contains lemon or lemon scent. So I am using the Safeway Rinse Aid. It is thicker and does not leak out of the dispenser.

Noticed yesterday at Wal Mart that the Cascade Rinse Agent is also now as thin as Jet Dry. So now need to find a store brand that is thicker. Even though we have soft water here in southern CT and I use Cascade complete powder, the rinse agent really does help with water spotting on glassware
