Using the dishwasher.

Check the Water Temperature

The entering water should be at least 120°F and not more than 150°F for effective cleaning and to prevent dish damage. Check the water temperature with a candy or meat thermometer. Turn on the hot water faucet nearest the dishwasher, place the thermometer in a glass and let the water run continuously into the glass until the temperature stops rising.

Use Jet-Dry ® or Cascade Crystal Clear® Rinse Agent

Jet-Dry®or Cascade Crystal Clear® rinse agent improves drying, removes spots and prevents new film buildup on your dishes, glasses, flatware, cookware and plastic.
