Our dishwasher was starting to have a build-up of that scummy stuff at the bottom that you just can’t get rid of. I hated having people over and having to open up the dishwasher - it was just nasty and no matter what I did, all of the scrubbing in the world just did not get it to come out. So I saw a commercial for a new Jet-Dry dishwasher cleaner and I thought, why not.

I followed the instructions and then noticed the fine print that states that it might take two applications to really thoroughly clean the dishwasher. I wish that I had read that in the store. I was eager for the dishwasher cycle to finish so that I could open it and have one of those Doris Day moments - ok so I’m old and yes I know who she was, where you open the dishwasher and sunlight comes out it’s so clean. Well this was not one of those moments! I was disappointed to see that the scum was still there and that I had to wipe it out myself. Now this was an improvement, instead of scrubbing, I just wiped, but I was not that thrilled.

Truth be told, the build-up has not started again, so maybe the product did help. Overall, I would probably give it another shot; if I had a coupon and it was buy one get one. And my expectations will not be as high, but that is ok as long as I don’t have to scrub - wiping is fine.

Same scenario…dentist every 6 months…guilt-inducing sighs from the teeth cleaner every time…”Ummm…now…your gums seem to be very irritated…are you not flossing regularly?” (hmmm…regularly is kind of a broad term…) “Well, I’m trying….sometimes I do forget.”

I try to be consistent with the flossing. But when there’s 6 months in between the inquisition and the daily “Man, I’m tired, I just want to go to sleep deal,” it’s hard to stay charged. Then along comes Santa to save the day. Low and behold, there’s a Reach dental flosser in my stocking. So we’re nigh on 6 months with this baby, and it’s time to go back to the dentist…pick-pick-poke-poke…loaded silence…”Have you been flossing regularly? Your gums look really good!” YES! I’m lookin’ good in the eyes of my dental hygienist — ain’t life grand?

So, I like this thing and you know what the trick is? You keep it in the shower and all of a sudden you’re not just standing there wasting water…you’re flossing! Daily! And it’s easy to hold and your fingers don’t get all goopy from drippy saliva, and they don’t have blood clots ’cause you wrapped the floss string too tight around your pointer! AND…they come in different colors, so it’s easy to tell which one belongs to who! And it’s easy to switch out the floss heads. So, I say go forward…buy…floss…smirk!
