Another Wednesday, another Works for Me Wednesday post! It seems no matter what dishwasher soap or rinse aid I use, we ALWAYS have those icky water spots/residue on our dishes. I have finally learned what works (for me, at least) to keep them away. I let the dishwasher run its full cycle. As soon as the last rinse has gone by, I go back and turn the dishwasher to rinse again. If I rinse twice, we have no spots! YAY!
This is nice because I was constantly changing dishwasher soaps and rinse aids. Although, last week I did get a coupon book in the mail from Home Made Simple that had a coupon for a free Cascade Crystal Clear Rinse Aid. That was nice - it saved me $3.19.

yeaaaa! It is hard to find what way makes your dishwasher work best. Ours is making sure the garbage disposal is competly empty
I found that not using the heat setting works for me -- the trick is to remember to open the dishwasher door so that the steam is let out.
I only use my dishwasher every few months though - I'm an insane person who prefers to handwash lol
Have a great day!

hold your horses, you have someone one here that prefers to handwash :) wowza!
Thanks for the tip, I might be trying this.
I just use a little white vinigar and put it where the spot free stuff usually goes in my dishwasher. I also do not use the heat drying though.
Kristine,
Now that you've posted on my site I suppose I have to out myself as a lurker here. I've been lurking a while. Yes, I have been watching your due date countdown tickers... sigh. Although, I have to say, I thought you would have had Parker by now. I'm surprised you're still pregnant! So much for my educated guessing. I have been checking in daily to see if you have posted a birth announcement!
Oh, and I wanted to say that I had been wondering if you had already created a new blog name for when Parker joins the family. I was surprised to see your recent post that you just realized that you may have to update the name. I was thinking you already had one picked and were holding back on all of us lurkers until you were ready to release it along with Parker's birth announcement!
And I totally related to your mourning the end of Graycen's time as the only child. You caught that on my birth story post. I really struggled with it. The best advice I got was from a friend who is an only child. When I shared my sadness about losing the one-on-one relationship I had with our daughter, she said, "I bet you are sad about that. Who wouldn't be? But, you are giving her the best gift you can give a child - a sibling. Her brother will mean the world to her, and you are giving him to her." I send those same words of wisdom your way.
