    Soooo... we have a dishwasher....

    .... and I forgot to get any powder or rinse aid when shopping.

    So I read that some people use bicarb as powder and vinegar as rinse aid - soooo how much do we use?

    Didn't it come with a couple of Finish tablets and a bottle of rinse aid? Both times we have bought one there was a Finish sample pack included.

    According to LoriRae in another thread (not sure how to quote from another thread so sorry about the cut & paste) "just fill it up like normal, bicarb instead of powder and vinegar instead of rinse aid. Definately white (or distilled) vinegar, no other kind or it will smell funny... the bicarb works great for plates, cutlery, glassware etc, but not so good for baked on pots and pans stuff. I hand wash them".

    Astrid - no it didn't?! We got it for $400 less so maybe they took the sample pack out

    Cai - Thanks

    a lot of manufacturers will void the warranty if you use tablets - just a warning

    I use powder - heck even the cheapo coles/woolies brands work fine in my dishwasher

    My dishwasher has a tablet bit so that'd be pretty silly if they did that
