Update: Ran a load WITH rinSe agent added to Costco packets. Dried much better; even cutlery. So Costco saying their product contains rinse agent...??

BTW, any chemistry folks around who know just whatthehell is in "rinse agent"???

Update: I went to several DIY sites which recommended plain white vinegar instead of rin$se agent. Might that be a clue to what's in the commercial product? Anybody ever try it? B

Rinse agents contain surfactants, much more complex than vinegar.

If you have soft water, vinegar may be adequate, but for most of us, we
need better for top quality results.

I use the commercial stuff and get outstanding results.
