FINISH Quantum and JET-DRY Turbo Dry Blog Tour ~ Review & Giveaway (FIVE WINNERS!) Ends 12/9!



Between the family get-togethers and holiday baking/cooking, I find December to be the one month out of the year that I spend the most time in my kitchen. I have always enjoyed baking, especially Christmas goodies...but could do without the mess and cleanup afterward. In fact, it's something I usually dread. Not anymore though, thanks to FINISH!

We were sent FINISH Quantum and FINISH JET-DRY to review just in time for Thanksgiving.

I have to admit I was a little nervous to test it out for the very first time on a dishwasher full of dishes from such a large meal. The box said 'leaves nothing behind but shine, but could that really be possible?! Would it really get all the food off so I didn't have to re-wash them like I normally do? The answer is, yes!! I was absolutely amazed to find sparkling clean dishes with no food left behind at all after using FINISH Quantum! They came out clean the first time...this does not happen very often...especially without pre-rinsing. This advanced dishwashing detergent releases agents to break down food in three different ways. During the dishwashing cycle, bleach granules attack tough stains like teach and coffee, ensyme granules soften burnt-on food like lasagna, and POWERBALL with Jet-DRY gel gives amazing shine. They are also a very nice size, fitting into the detergent cup perfectly.


We also tested out the FINISH JET-DRY Turbo Dry which is probably the product I was most interested in testing out. We are forever drying the dishes that come out of the dishwasher with a towel (sometimes even having to rewash them) due to water spots or the fact that they're not quite dry yet. FINISH JET-DRY Turbo Dry provides superior drying compared to detergent alone. I was amazed to find how well it actually worked. By simply adding the rinse agent into the rinse agent dispenser, it's automatically released in the rinse cycle every time the dishwasher runs. I love it!

I have been very impressed with FINISH Quantum and JET-DRY Turbo Dry in the time we've used them. In fact, my husband and I have decided we need to buy this brand from now on. It works amazing well...giving us clean and spotless dishes every time. I have been able to enjoy my time baking and cooking in the kitchen much more now that FINISH takes care of the dreaded cleaning part for me. I love it and would recommend it to anyone.

Also, FINISH was featured on a recent episode of Designing Spaces! The segment provides an excellent overview of the do's and don'ts of dishwashing. Be sure to check it out!
