I would be lying if I claimed to love housework. Honestly, I don’t like it very much at all, but the number one chore that I despise the most is doing the dishes. I hate it. Like really hate it. Short of hiring a housekeeper, if there is anything that makes accomplishing this necessary evil, I am all for it!
Thanks to Mom Central, I had the opportunity to try out FINISH Quantum dishwashing detergent and FINISH Jet-Dry Turbo Dry. About the products:
“FINISH® Quantum® is a revolutionary advanced dishwashing detergent system that has 3 chamber technology that releases agents that breaks down food residues, leaving nothing behind but the shine. Its so powerful, there’s no need to pre-rinse your dishes. The advanced detergent releases each agent when needed during the cycle. POWERMAX™ bleach granules attack tough stains like tea
and coffee, powerful enzyme granules soften burnt-on food like lasagna, and POWERBALL® withJET-DRY® gel finishes off dishes with amazing shine.
FINISH® JET-DRY® Turbo Dry® provides superior drying compared to detergent alone. It is a type of dishwasher additive—a Drying Agent—that is specifically engineered to give you amazingly dry cutlery,glass, and even plastic items.”
I used both products after eating leftovers from our Thanksgiving meal. I will say that I was skeptical because some containers housed side dishes (such as cranberry sauce) that had been in the refrigerator for two days. I really wanted to see if pre-rinsing was necessary, so I placed some of the dishes in the dishwasher without rinsing beforehand. When the cycle was finished, I will say that I was impressed. None of the tupperware containers had spots and none of the dishes had streaks. Only one dish out of the entire load (which was used for macaroni and cheese) had a small piece of food left on it.
Apparently, I wasn’t the only one that was impressed by these products. They were recently featured on a recent episode of Designing Spaces! Check out the tips on the do’s and don’ts of dishwashing! Overall, both my husband and I were satisfied with the performance of both the FINISH Quantum and JET-DRY Turbo Dry products. I would definitely consider buying them in the future.

It’s a tossup between cleaning bathrooms and sorting through paper clutter.

I can start the dishwasher and within minutes someone will be in the kitchen creating more dirty dishes that end up on the counter or in the sink waiting for the one load to finish.
I dislike the kitchen chores most because they don’t stay done for very long.
I’m torn between dusting and toilets… hate them both!
I hate cleaning the bathrooms! YUCK!

For me it’s a tie between cleaning the bathroom & cleaning the pots & pans. Thankfully, Darren is willing to do those or we’d never have any clean cookware!
Awesome Prize 🙂

I SOOOO hate the dishes! If I don’t have a dishwasher they only get washed when I am desperate!
My least fav household chore has got to be cleaning the shower. I had cleaning the wall and the tub, it seems like I can never keep up with keeping it clean.

I hate folding clothes.
Folding and putting away laundry and ironing. I’d rather do dishes, scrub the toilet, clean the bathtub, wash the floor…just about anything!
