because it's nearly valentine's

This post is for you, because I love you.

Truly love you.

So enjoy it, even if it's not wrapped up in pink tissue paper, with roses, conversation hearts, and red hots.

If you are anything like us, and don't have soft water, well then doing the dishes isn't a house hold chore that makes anyone smile. Or feel loved.  There is beauty all around, is a lie when it comes to the sink and dishwasher, right? Thinking I could wash the dishes one time without problems, reminded me what a fool I am.

Here's the saving grace I know, that I share with you, out of love.  Consider it my Valentine's gift to you.  And if you have already been blessed with this knowledge from me or elsewhere, then know that you are truly loved.

And if you have soft water, well, then.

Do your dishes have this awesome filmy nasty white crap all over them?

Have you cleaned your element lately?  It should be black, not grey or white.

Then, have you purchased the only thing I know to really save your dishes from the layer of filth?  

Powder Cascade and Lemi-Shine detergent.

Now, here's the scoop.  You have to wash your dishes by hand, scrub if you must, to remove the build up.  Pretend you love the dishes as you do them.  It might help.  The scour the element in the dishwasher.  Heck, scrub the whole dishwasher, by hand, yes you heard me, by hand, with soft scrub and then run a cycle to simply rinse it, but not to wash or dry it.

Then you are welcome to load and wash any dishes your little heart desires.

But from now on, use Cascade powder as your Pre-Wash and Lemi-shine as your detergent.  Viola!

Clean dishes.

I love you.  Happy Valentines.
