Dishwasher works again!


It is funny because lately my post have all been about cleaning and such. Goes to show you how exciting my life is.

Anyhow my dishwasher wasn't getting anything clean and leaving the worst soap spots all over everything. I hated doing dishes and they I kept having to clean all of them by hand. I seriously thought the dishwasher was broken or clogged. Once I washed the same load 5 times. Oh it was miserable.

Finally I decided to get Martin involved, since he kept complaining that the dishes were all dirty. He researched and found out that since our water is so hard we needed a detergent with phosphates in it. It turns out that almost all name brand detergent are phosphate free. I guess if you have a water softener then you have no issues but we don't. Online people recommended trying a product called Lemi Shine.

Off to the store to get some Lemi Shine! I was seriously amazed with the results. I can't believe the difference. It was drastic! I am so happy to wash all my dishes now. Eventually we will invest in a water softener but until then Lemi Shine will work for us!

I got it at Walmart. It comes in a small container because it needs to stay fresh.

My mother in law uses this stuff too, after she had problems with her glasses coming out cloudy. I think she gets it at Safeway? She uses hers in addition to regular detergent though.
