Rinse aid composition and method for using the same |
(57) A rinse aid composition that does not inhibit starch breakdown and a cleaning system
using the same is described. The rinse aid composition comprises a surfactant which
when contacted with a gelled azure starch that is subsequently retrograded and suspended
in a detergent wash having a compound capable of causing starch degradation, does
not prevent at least about 75% degradation of the suspended azure starch present in
the detergent wash or the rinse aid composition does not result in a washed ceramic
tile coated with a potato starch from displaying a %ΔR of greater than about 24, or
both.
