Product review...

Lemi Shine. I was introduced to this product by my mother in law who also lives on a farm here in Iowa. We have interesting water. I don't know that are water is neccessarily "hard", but we do have a lot of calcium or lime in our water. And our dishwasher wasn't doing a great job anymore. It didn't mater how much detergent I used or didn't use. Our glasses were getting built up with film and our silverware was dulling. I had used plenty of dishwasher cleaners on an empty load. They didn't help. One day my husband and I completely took our dishwasher apart and removed as much limescale build up as we could. That was a tedious and disgusting job. And it didn't improve much of anything.
Insert Lemi Shine. I opened the bottle up. OMG! It smelled just like a Lemon Drop. It said to put some in on an empty load on your first use. I'm not one for following directions well. I was too anxious to see if it worked even a little bit. So, I followed the OTHER directions for your second load. I put in the Lemi Shine in half of the dispenser and my detergent in the other half. I shut the door and crossed my fingers. A couple hours later I opened the door and went right for a glass. OMG - it was like magic had happened in my dishwasher. The film that had built up over the course of - I don't know - a year??? - it was gone! I'm serious! GONE! My silverware was actually sparkling. And I hadn't followed those directions to run an empty load with the stuff first. Two years later - I'm still using it. On every load! That being said, for a while, it seemed to be hurting my silverware for a while. So I quite using the Lemi Shine in every load. I would use one of the Cascade Power Pacs with bleach and Dawn - or whatever they are called in between Lemi Shine loads. That helped. But now, I'm back to Lemi Shine with every load, and for the past 6 months I haven't had any issues, and I haven't had to pay the higher dollar for those Cascade Pacs.
Where do I get Lemi Shine? Target. Our local Wal-Mart does not carry it. And Target is about an hour away. So when I go, I buy about 3 or 4 cans of it. It also makes your dishwasher detergent last a lot longer, since you are just using half as much as before. At our Target store it costs about $3.64/can. You can buy it directly from lemishine.com, but I believe the cost is higher. Amazon also carries it, again more expensive. Therefore, I stick with Target!
If you are having problems with cloudy dishes - give it a try. I think you'll be glad you did.

FYI - Lemi Shine did not sponsor this post. This is simply my opinion!!!!
