Here’s the truth many skip: rinse aid isn’t optional. It’s a surfactant that breaks the surface tension of water, allowing droplets to slide off rather than bake into deposits. Fill that little compartment every month, and your glasses will emerge streak-free. Science, baby.
If you prefer a natural alternative, use a few drops of food-grade glycerin in the rinse aid slot. It works, but honestly? Just buy the cheap blue stuff. Your sanity is worth it.
