White Vinegar Instead of Jet-Dry

Would vinegar hurt a stainless steel dishwasher? Would it be good to use instead of Jet Dry? What kind of vinegar would do best with the dishwasher? It is a Bosch dishwasher.

I have a KitchenAide stainless dishwasher. I always use vinegar as the rinse agent and I have had this workhorse for 10 years now.

I only use white vinegar in my dishwasher every two months to clean any mineral build up. I do not wash any dishes in this cleaning cycle and do not use the heated dry setting.

Read the Archives at the bottom of this page. I don't believe white vinegar will hurt your stainless dishwasher at all. I always use vinegar to clean the inside of my stainless steel pots and frying pans. Look at all the chemicals that are used to make Jet-Dry and dishwasher detergents.

Jet Dry is often rather expensive to use in the dishwasher. Plain white vinegar will also do the job.


Pour vinegar in to the tiny compartment in the dishwasher, to save a lot of money and it works better and best for the drains!
