You will love these natural dishwasher tablets. They will leave your dishes "squeaky" clean. You may want to use a rinse aid, though, to help prevent water spots on your glasses. This is optional and really depends on your water condition.
You could use one or a few of the following as an alternative to chemical laden rinse aids:
Citric Acid
This is one of the most common and popular ingredients used in cleaning products. It’s popular because of how it effectively kills bacteria, mildew, and mold. Citric acid is excellent for cleaning and disinfecting, and when used in a DIY dishwasher rinse aid, it helps remove hard water stains, soap residue, calcium deposits, and rust. 
Lemon Essential Oil
This essential oil does a great job at eliminating hard water stains and mineral deposits from dishes. It provides added germ-fighting power to the rinse aid. Moreover, lemon essential oil has a fresh smell that adds a nice freshness to all your dishes.
Distilled White Vinegar
Vinegar is generally acidic, a characteristic that helps break up mineral deposits in hard water. Additionally, it kills bacteria, grime, grease, and dirt.
Stick to the 5% or below acidity level for best results.
