A machine is provided for rinsing eating utensils and includes a rinse station wherein the utensils are finally rinsed to eliminate spotting thereon. The water used in the final rinse of the utensils is of high quality and contains less than 275 ppm of total dissolved solids. The high quality rinse water is collected in a tank having a heating element therein and pumped to the rinse station after being heated. After each rinse cycle, the water drains back into the tank where it is reheated and recirculated to rinse each additional group of utensils subsequently introduced into the second station until the level of total dissolved solids in the water exceeds 275 ppm. The method of rinsing eating utensils comprises moving the utensils through a rinse station where they are finally rinsed with a heated quantity of high quality water having less than 275 ppm of total dissolved solids. The high quality rinse water is collected after each rinse cycle, reheated and recirculated for finally rinsing additional utensils subsequently passing through the rinsing station. The rinse water is discharged after the level of total dissolved solids exceeds 275 parts per million.
