What’s That Small Cup in the Corner of Your Dishwasher For?
Have you ever noticed a small cup or compartment tucked into the corner of your dishwasher and wondered what it’s for? That little feature actually plays an important role in helping your dishes come out sparkling clean.
What Is the Small Cup?
The small cup or compartment in your dishwasher is usually the rinse aid dispenser. Its job is to hold rinse aid—a special liquid that helps water sheet off your dishes during the final rinse cycle. This prevents water spots and streaks, leaving your glassware and plates looking spotless and shiny.
Why Is Rinse Aid Important?
- Better drying: Rinse aid reduces surface tension of water, helping it to flow off dishes faster.
- Spot and film prevention: It prevents water droplets from drying on dishes, which causes unsightly spots and cloudy film.
- Improves overall cleaning: When water rinses away more effectively, detergent works better, resulting in cleaner dishes.
How to Use the Rinse Aid Cup
- Locate the cup: It’s usually near the detergent dispenser, often in a corner of the dishwasher door.
