I’m in Love
With a automatic dishwasher detergent!
So, I was recently cruising down the aisles of my neighborhood supermarket and noticed an exciting new product…[insert traditional name brand now "green-washed"] Dishwasher Detergent…
What’s this? …a NEW “green” product? AND it was on sale to boot! I had to get it!!! (I chose Citrus Apple scent).
It wasn’t until I got home that I began to get suspicious. First of all, the ingredients are not listed on the label. Second, the fine print said not to mix with “other cleaning products” (i.e., this product contains chlorine). Third, I was unable to find an ingredients list on the manufacturer website either. Hmmm….
What the H-E-double hockey sticks!!!???? Well, since I already got it all the way (2 blocks) home, I might as well try it.
Dare I say…this is the best dang dishwasher detergent I have ever used. It removed ALL of the cloudiness from our glassware (that we were THIS close to replacing BTW), the coffee stains from our white mugs (just like new!), and the flatware…well, I can see myself it it, Madge! Furthermore, I must admit that I’ve always had a “thing” for the smell of chlorine…nothing says “sanitized” quite so well!
So, that’s it!!! I really don’t care if it’s not the MOST ecological brand out there (it IS still free from phosphates, after all). Forget [insert alternative green band I usually use] folks, I’m having a steamy affair with the greatest new green-washed dishwasher detergent in the whole wide world.
A girl’s gotta get her kicks somehow…
Sigh…
