rinse aid

Spot-prevention liquid

Rinse aid is a liquid additive for dishwashers that reduces water's surface tension, allowing it to sheet off dishes rather than bead up.

This prevents water spots and mineral deposits on glassware, leaving dishes cleaner and helping them dry faster.

Most dishwashers have a dedicated reservoir that dispenses rinse aid automatically during the final cycle.
