My Secret to Sparkling Clean Dishes
This post was sponsored by Finish. All opinions are my own.
There’s something about clean that just makes you feel good. Accomplished even. I’m not just talking about the nice surface clean, where there is no visible dirt or debris. That’s good too, but I’m talking about the deep, sparking bit of a gleam coming off of it, type of clean. The kind of clean that looks as if someone has spent countless hours scrubbing and polishing to a perfect shine! The kind that looks like you are either the ideal “Stepford wife”, or have a live in maid.
What if I told you that’s pretty much how my dishes look each and every day? And that I’m no Stepford wife. And that, no matter how hard I try to convince him, my husband isn’t too keen on the idea of us hiring a live in maid so it’s just me here doing a majority of the cleaning.
Yet, you would never know by looking in my cupboards…
Want me to let you in on my little secret?

I like to “clean” my dishes off before they go into the dishwasher. I can’t stand the thought of the dishes being washed in the dishwasher with a lot of food and grease.
I try to put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher all day as we go, so in the evening, it’s ready to run and there’s nothing on my countertop or in my sink during the day. I love this Finish product, but mostly use their orange gel pods.
I always wait until I have a full load to run, and then I start it and hit delay so that it will wash them during the night! I heard its cheaper during off peak hours!
I make sure my dishes are fairly clean when they go In the dishwasher so that I don’t have to worry when I put them away or have to scrub off food that is dried on.
I rinse my dishes right after use and put them in the dishwasher. Thank you for the wonderful giveaway.

I only run the dishwasher if it is totally full
Rinse the dishes first before putting them in!
My tip is to put dirty dishes directly in the dishwasher throughout the day so they don’t pile up in the sink.

I usually use the energy saver cycle

I use the smartcycle – less water, less time!
I use the normal cycle and don’t use the dishwasher until it’s full.
I make sure to rinse mine first and the best time to run my dishwasher is at night after baths! Also make sure to run the water in the sink til it gets hot so the water going in the dishwasher is hot
I soak my dishes overnight with Dawn.
I always try to rinse dishes right away. It saves so much time when you don’t have to scrub off dried-on food!
I wash dishes a little at a time and let the tough ones soak so I don’t have too many to do at a time or have to scrub super hard.
My tip is to bake using reynolds foil so it is easier to clean!
I clean as I go. While cooking and getting dinner ready, I like to go ahead and put the cooking gear in the dishwasher. This way there are only dishes left after dinner.
I always rinse as much goop off of the dishes as I can before putting them in the dishwasher and never use the heated dry option(which is a huge energy drainer)!
I always wait until my dishwasher is full and run it during the day while we are at work.
I only run the dishwasher when it’s full and I turn it on before I go to bed.
I only run the dishwasher when it’s really full.
I always rinse off my dishes before I put them into the dishwasher.
