Wow! Those are great tips. Never thought of using vinegar in the d/w. It would probably help to keep the washer clean too. And I also use vinegar to mop my floors. It was recommended by the manufacturer of our flooring.

Just remember that those spot removing detergents for dishwashers uses a teflon product to keep the water salts from adhering to the glass. I would keep with the vinegar.

Baking soda is the one other best cleaning product you can use. No harmful chemicals!

Great tips here. I'll have to try the vinegar in the dishwasher...mine is so old that I may have to replace it soon.

So many uses, running out of vinegar at times.

When do you put the vinegar in the dishwasher?

My dishwasher has a "rinse aid" dispenser. That's where we put it. I don't know where to put it if yours doesn't have this. Anybody know?

I have used a cup of vinegar in cycle to get rid of hard water deposits, now I will use in the dispenser, great idea....I also mix vinegar w/water in squirt bottle for window cleaning....

Doing a big dinner with potatoes? Peel them the day before and soak them in water with vinegar added they never turn brown. You can slice or even grate them ahead of time. Drain and cook in clean water or pat dry for frying. Thank you to all the great friends out there that share so much with us.

Yes, I put some in a shot glass and put the shot glass into one of the utensil squares. It will be full of water when the dishes are done, but the vinegar will be gone.

Grammy, just pour some into a shot glass and place the shot glass where the utensils go and start your dishwasher as normal.
