A nonionic surfactant or wetting agent, which, when injected into the last rinse of a dishwasher cycle, lowers surface tension, thus improving draining of the water from the dishes and utensils.  Dishwasher rinse agents come in both a solid bar and liquid form.  The liquid for use in dishwashers equipped with a rinse aid dispenser, the bar for machines without a dispenser.  By improving draining of the last rinse, spotting and filming, caused by water solids that remain after drying are minimized.
