Trying to Clean House

I have one and hate it! It doesn't clean as well as I feel it should. I end up washing the glasses by hand after they come out of the dishwasher. My old ones were so bad I threw them out and bought new. In no time they started looking super cloudy so now I scrub them by hand. DH and DS don't want to hand wash dishes so getting rid of it (an extra cupboard would sure be handy!) is not an option. However I went years without one and I would gladly do it again!

yea hand washing anything after the dishwasher is --well--just shoot me time..HAHA

I use mine only when I have company....like Tony's parents come over. I can't stay on top of hand washing so I just do 1 load and get it over with..LOL
but they only come over 1 time per month give or take....so it is rarely used.

but they are good to have if needed..LOL

OK because of this thread I got off my booty and moved my "work on the cars" toolbox and a few misc. tools to storage under the house. I also did some laundry and swept the floors. You can walk in my living room again

I'm gonna put some more hooks on the walls for my tools, so it will feel less crowded in here (computer room).

yes, hanging things on the walls made alot of difference in my shed! even if I did do it haphazardly.

well, we survived. nothing can get you moving like company coming! dear bf was a champ and busted butt too. still a bit cluttered but that will improve when christmas stuff gets put away. I am learning alot of new tips and hope to put them to use soon!

Hm, I'll have to try Finish. I usually use Cascade, but it doesn't always do the best job and I end up rewashing a couple things in the sink from every load. Do you have well water?

 

[tdgill]

my dishes havent been coming out as nice lately.... was thinking of adding a rinse agent (like the manufacturer suggests - duh) I do run the tap till the water is hot before turning on the dishwasher though....

 

[The Chicken Lady]

I put some of that Top Crest rinse gel in my dishwasher. It does seem to help keep the glasses spot-free.

One of my favorite Flylady things is the "swish and swipe." I keep flushable Clorox wipes in all of our bathrooms; it's so easy to grab one, give the toilet and sink a quick scrub, and flush away the wipe when finished.

Anne just made me take out the trash.
Do I look like a trash man?
Noooooooooooo!
Seems to me that if she wants a trash man, she should hire one rather than make me do EVERYTHING around here.

 

[tdgill]

lol
from the looks of your coop you are overqualified to take out the trash. but appreciated just the same i hope!

Thanks for understanding that my life is a desert. It's just take out the trash, take out the trash, take out the trash, ... I truly am a saint.
