Not a shiny happy person

Dear phosphate free dishwashing detergents,

I have a bone to pick with you.

I understand that phosphates are bad for the enviornment and I am all for them being removed from detergents. What I am not ok with, is what you have done to my dishes, silverware, pots and pans and anything else that goes through the dishwasher. This white film that you are leaving on everything, is seriously not ok. We have beautiful silverware that you have clouded up and made to look constantly dirty. You see you powdered disappointment,  we just moved to a new state and I don't want our new friends who are over for dinner to look down at their place settings and have the urge to run for the door, because they think that I have given them dirty silverware. I'm trying to make new friends! PLUS, our amazing pots and pans? You've killed their beauty and I've only been using you for a week. Don't try to tell me that beauty is only surface deep and they still work perfectly, either. That isn't going to make everything ok.

I can't describe the sadness that I feel when I unload my dishwasher and don't get to experience the joy of holding sparkly dishes in my hands. Not only that, I also wonder are these really clean? Did you really rinse off all the residue from the raw pork I cut up the night before? Is it safe for me to cut my son's apple with this same knife? You have added undo worry into my life. I now have to add another step to my nightly routine, of cleaning the kitchen. I used to lightly rinse my dishes. Now, I have to wash everything with hot water and soap before you even see the them. And that is taking away precious time that I could me spending with my handsome hubby.

Isn't cleaning your job? Your whole reason for being?

You need to fix this issue and fast.

Signed,
Disgruntled housewife
