Shine On

Listen to me, my friends:

I am not being paid. I have nothing to gain from this. I just want you to all know that I have experienced a miracle in the past month and I want you to experience that miracle as well.

Over the Christmas season, I got a "bonus" gift with one of my many orders for holiday presents. It was a little sample envelope of the Lemi Shine you see below. Honestly, at the time I thought: "thanks for the bonus gift, you cheapy cheap-faces with a cheap cherry on top." 

And then I slipped in the dishwasher. And all my wildest dreams came true. Our dishwasher at the new house (post to come) has been turning everything a scummy shade of hard water stain. Build-up and residue was making it impossible to even want to do dishes. But, OH, what joy it was to open the dishwasher after a cycle and find that, not only had the Lemi Shine not caused additional residue, it had completely eliminated the nastiness on our dishes for all time.

I am a fan. It is super cheap (roughly $3.50) and available at Wal-Mart. So, now you know. You're welcome.
