Q&A: What is the recent product you put into your dishwasher to clean the lines of mineral deposits?

Question by ?Jackie Blue?: What is the recent product you put into your dishwasher to clean the lines of mineral deposits?

I have heard of a recent product on a tv commercial that is recommended you put in your dishwasher to remove lime and calcium deposits. I can’t recall what it is or where to buy it. Anyone know or have any ideas on how to take care of the mineral buildup without calling a repairman? Thanks.

Save your money and use white vinegar. Dump a couple of cups of white vinegar in the bottom of the machine after it’s started filling with hot water. Let it start to “wash” and shut it off for 1/2 hour or so. Then turn it back on and let it complete the cycle.

If you do this on a monthly basis, it’s good, cheap, and keeps your dishwasher working at it’s best.

Q&A: What is your opinion on recent recalls?

Question by m: What is your opinion on recent recalls?

Because baby furniture, food, and toys are being recalled for hazards, additives and poisons ~ there are rumors that prices will be higher for many of these products and especially for toys at Christmas (good way to get parents to pay any amount for safety).
I want to know why we should have to pay for the abysmal oversight of U.S. companies who are only interested in profits.
The only way I would willingly pay more to these companies for their products is if they brought production back to the U.S., paid U.S. taxes so the product safety inspections can be funded at the level needed, and hire American workers again.
Also the corporations keep blaming China for everything, but it is the manufacturers who insist on sending work there for cheap labor, do not follow their own safety guidelines for reporting discovered dangers, and instead of paying for the fiascos from profits, charge the consumers. ~ They should stop passing the buck and take full responsibility.
What do you think
If you don’t mind, leave a star so more readers will give their opinions,

I can’t really see how it would make sense to use something like this as a way to jack up prices for Christmas. The companies involved are going to lose a lot more money and reputation than they’ll get from that..

And hopefully this will prompt a lot of people to look for domestic goods to purchase, instead of cheap, shoddy Chinese imports. That can only be good for us.

On what date did the recent peanut butter recall begin?

Question by BeamMeUpMom: On what date did the recent peanut butter recall begin?

I bought some recently which has the recalled product code. However, I think I bought it after the recall began and assumed it would be safe since it wasn’t recalled. Now I’m annoyed. What day did the recall begin, anyway?
I bought my jar on the 10th or 11th of Feb. I’m wondering if it was recalled anywhere before this date.

I remember hearing about the recall of Peter Pan and thought “see….brand name doesn’t necessarily equal quality or safety” I didn’t know it was the stuff from Wal-Mart too until after we started eating it. oops.
Oh, I absolutely threw it out. My husband has a compromised immune system because he has rheumatoid arthritis. RA is often treated with immuno-supressants. I kept the lids, of course, and they are being returned for a refund.
Understand the question. I want to know when it started BECAUSE I want to know if the store where I bought my peanut butter at had kept the recalled peanut butter on its shelves after the recall. So, YES, it does matter because I assumed what was on the shelves was NOT recalled when I was buying my peanut butter.

I’m an educated person I know time doesn’t change the contents of a jar. Sheesh!

There is a recent commercial (don’t recall the product) with stewardesses dancing on clouds?

Question by assPOPE: There is a recent commercial (don’t recall the product) with stewardesses dancing on clouds?

It was airing in recent weeks. In particular, one stewardess is seated next to the pilot, then turns her head to her right, facing you (the camera).
They are dressed in dark blue(?) uniforms, I think.

Anyone happen to know which commercial that is?

And yes, I realize this is a silly question, but thanks for looking anyway.
