The latest edition of TV hit ‘Designing Spaces’ features revolutionary dishwashing detergent FINISH ‘Quantum’, a detergent that provides clean dishes the first time, every time even without pre-rinsing. FINISH ‘Quantum’, from the FINISH portfolio of products, offers a solution to the irritation of wasting time and washing dishes especially when it comes to pre-rinsing and rewashing. Tune in November 5th, 7th, and 8th at 9:30 a.m. (ET/PT) to watch this episode on WEtv.
“Today’s advanced dishwashing detergents like FINISH Quantum are designed to do the pre-rinsing work for you and to deliver perfect results the first time you wash, saving you time and money,” says Diane Hoffman, an expert in automatic dishwasher operations. “Many people are surprised to find out that for optimal results with Quantum?, you should scrape and not rinse your dishes, then let the detergent do the work for you. It can truly revolutionize your kitchen clean-up routine!”
Fifty percent of U.S. households own a dishwasher and 90 percent of them pre-rinse. However, pre-rinsing dishes can waste up to almost 20 gallons of water per load. In this episode, Hoffman demonstrates the power behind FINISH? Quantum?, and how it eliminates the need to pre-rinse. Here are additional dishwashing tips for viewers to try at home:
Scrape, don’t rinse Scrape your dishes because active ingredients in your detergent need food residue to work properly.
Load properly As a general rule of thumb, cups, glasses and less soiled items should be placed on the top rack and larger and dirtier items are best on the bottom rack.
Select the right detergent Try FINISH? Quantum? which has detergent so powerful there’s no need to pre-rinse your dishes.
Avoid cloudy glasses If cloudy film can be removed by rubbing vinegar on your glass, then you have hard water in your home and need to use a detergent, like FINISH? Quantum?, that’s been designed to soften the water so the detergent can do its work.
Clean your dishwasher Dirt may build up in hard to see places such as the spray arm and pipes. Cleaning your dishes should be done with a clean dishwasher, so remove this filming and dirt by using a dishwasher cleaner once a month.
