I'm not using rinse aid at all. Just dishwasher gel with no rinse aid included, and salt. Cheap-ish Beko dishwasher. No issues.

Agreed, but I’m also someone who thinks dryer sheets are a scam as well.

[TedDoesntTalk]

They’re not?

I personally find that if I don't use them, my socks, towels, etc all come out very stiff and dry.

Yes, I know it's not ideal for towels because the wax inhibits some absorption, but I couldn't stand it so I just went back to using dryer sheets.

Soon I'll be getting a good quality dryer with a steam sanitize mode, maybe that will help.

I use them on clothing, but not on towels. Best of both worlds.

So, you use the salt as a rinse aid?
