Struggling with greasy dishes that emerge from the dishwasher still coated in residue? It's frustrating, but you don't need to run extra cycles.
With years of testing household cleaning solutions, I've found a reliable fix: add a large glass of white vinegar. Here's how it works.

1. Load your greasy dishes into the dishwasher.
2. Add your regular dishwashing tablet.
3. Pour a tall glass of white vinegar into the dishwasher tray.
4. Run a high-temperature cycle.
Your dishes will come out spotless—no more greasy marks. This natural acid cuts through buildup effectively and safely.
Perfect for that special foie gras set next time!
This works by hand too: Fill your sink with hot water, add a tall glass of white vinegar, and soak the dishes before scrubbing.
