Patent ID: 8277568

Claim:
A method for washing ware in an automatic ware washing machine, the method comprising: (a) contacting the ware during a wash cycle with an aqueous cleaning solution, and (b) contacting the washed ware during a rinse cycle with an aqueous rinse solution in which a rinse aid composition is dosed, wherein the rinse aid composition contains a sufficient amount of a polysaccharide to provide a layer of polysaccharide on the ware and to provide a sheeting action during the rinse cycle; wherein: the polysaccharide is a cationic starch-based polysaccharide, and further wherein the cationic starch-based polysaccharide is selected to provide an improved drying behavior of the washed ware corresponding to the ratio of drying time using rinse aid with cationic starch-based polysaccharide to drying time using rinse aid without cationic starch-based polysaccharide being at the most 0.5, and further corresponding to the ratio of number of droplets after 5 minutes using rinse aid with cationic starch-based polysaccharide to number of droplets after 5 minutes using rinse aid without cationic starch-based polysaccharide being at the most 0.1, and further wherein the cationic starch-based polysaccharide is (3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)trimethylammonium chloride modified potato starch.
