It really works!

When we first moved into our apartment I thought our dishwasher was broken. I thought that maybe the rinse wasn't working or something because our dishes were coming out all white and foggy. I absolutely hated this I thought it was gross. So after management came to look at what I thought was a broken dishwasher they told me my dishes looked like that because of the hard water up here. My dishwasher wasn't broken. Man did I feel stupid!! We had hard water when we lived in Cedar but it didn't do this to our dishes. So up here they must have really hard water. So anyway I had been buying jet dry and all these rinse agents. Now they worked ok, but you have to use a lot of it, and they are expensive. So this was getting old fast. When we were down in Enterprise for Thanksgiving we got on the topic and my sis-in-law mentioned that all we needed to do was pour a little bit of vinegar in the bottom of our dishwasher before we started it and this would solve the problem. So I thought "what the heck". I just tried it and oh my goodness, It works!! I am so excited because vinegar is a lot cheaper than the rinsing agents and it seems to work a little better. I was also worried at first that my dishes might smell like vinegar, but they don't. It's wonderful, so anyone else out there having this problem, hope this helps! Thanks Lindsey!!
