I finally got a new dishwasher!! I usually use Seventh Generation or Kirklands natural - but I have not used a rinse aid for years as I did not find a natural one. Please share what dishwasher detergent you use - also if you have a non-toxic liquid rinse and how often you use it.

Thanks so much

I use Eccover tabs- available at the health food store- and I cut the tabs in 1/2. I don't use a rinse agent... but we also have a really old dishwasher and have to put the dishes in almost clean. I use the dishwasher daily mostly for sanitation.
I have used Seventh Generation before- both in powder form and gel. I liked the gel better but like these tablets even more

I use Seventh Generation in the dishwasher, and I fill the rinse thingy with vinegar every couple of months. I don't keep it full all the time as vinegar is an acid.
