You might want to use white vinegar as a rinsing agent. I can't use the regular dishwasher products because of the smells. I use white vinegar to clean everything else so I thought I would give it a try in the dishwasher. It works great and my dishes, flatware and pots and pans shine. My dishwasher is cleaner, also. I add a little bit of white vinegar to my hand washing dishwater, also. It really helps cut grease. One more thing, I use white vinegar to help clean stuck on food in my skillets. Just a little bit, leave set while washing other things then wipe clean with paper towels before washing. I love my Corelle dishes, too. They are nice and light so I don't drop them with my arthritic hands like I do my heavier handpainted pottery dishes which I love, also.
