Shine, Baby Shine! Finish Quantum & Jet-Dry Turbo Dry Review & Giveaway

Did you know that Electrasol changed their name to Finish? Did you know they have two new products out, Finish Quantum and Finish Jet-Dry Turbo Dry? I didn't, but I’m happy to pass that bit of information on because now I'm a dishwasher happy mama! (As happy as a person can really be about a chore!)

Washing dishes is really one of my least favorite chores and for these reasons:
1. I feel like I’m practically washing them by hand anyway with all the scraping, rinsing and partial washing I do beforehand.
2. Many of my dishes are still wet when I unload the dishwasher and I either have to dry them by hand or stick them in my drying rack to let them air dry. I really dread this because I feel as though the job is never really finished.

Usually I have dishes from a day or so stacked up and ready to be loaded because I wait a full day or more to unload the clean dishes to allow them more time to dry. It has been getting a bit ridiculous. Both of these two problems are now solved with Finish Quantum and Jet-Dry Turbo Dry. Hallelujah!! Rejoice!

According to their website, Finish Quantum has a revolutionary multi-chamber technology with powerful enzymes to remove stuck-on food, POWERMAX bleach to attack tough stains, and JET-DRY gel for an amazing shine. The Quantum Difference: amazing shine, removes even tough stains like baked-on and dried -on food, no need to unwrap, and it is the #1 recommended brand by more dishwasher brands. Finish Quantum is available in 12, 20, and 36 count sizes (a twelve-pack retails for $4.99). I checked Target this past weekend and their Finish Quantum regular price is only $4.29 and is on a temporary price cut for $3, so get them at the reduced price while the getting is good! You can print out a coupon on the Finish website here. I’d rather pay a little more and have a product that works great wouldn’t you?

Finish Jet-Dry Turbo Dry is a type of dishwasher additive—a Drying Agent—that is specifically engineered to give you Cabinet-dry cutlery, glasses and plastics right out of the dishwasher. Jet-Dry Turbo Dry is available in 6.76oz ($5.49) and 13oz size bottles.

Finish Quantum took care of the dreaded rinsing/partially washing process. When we got our new dishwasher two years ago I thought I’d be fine to leave food still stuck on my dishes. The answer to that was a definite NO! Either it wouldn’t get fully clean or the little particles of food would spray up to the top rack and cling on the glasses for dear life until I would rescue them by scraping their dried remains off with my finger. This was my test for Finish Quantum. So far I’ve washed two loads and didn’t rinse the dishes beforehand. This included spaghetti sauce on utensils and syrup on plates. I thought for sure I’d find some still on the dishes but guess what, I didn’t! I’m so excited to save time and water by not rinsing all my dishes before loading them.

Jet-Dry Turbo Dry has saved my drying woes! I ran the dishwasher in the evening and the following morning my dishes were all dry, including the plastic!! You have no idea how exciting this is for me, or maybe you do??? No more hand drying and no more full drying rack. Does life get any better than this? Oh yes, it does!
