As I mentioned in another comment, the easy way to test for this is to take a freshly-dishwashed glass and fill it with water. Look for foamy bubbles that don't clear up quickly around the edge. Then rinse it thoroughly and try again.

With most home dishwashers, I have seen evidence of leftovers.



It seems like the easiest solution is to just not use rinse-aid, since the study didn't seem to find any issues with regular detergent.


I'm not sure if there is any difference?


The difference seems to be that rinse-aids cause health problems and regular detergent doesn't.
