I would add a step to the pet bowls directions - RINSE after draining and before air drying.
Guess I would also change the baby bottle one to say rinse well before air drying
I use bleach a lot at my house. I use it to clean a lot of things. I did not know you could use it to extend the life of cut flowers though. That is crazy! Thanks for the tips!
Okay...I have tried really hard to keep my yapper shut about the bleach posts, but baby bottles and pet bowls? Seriously?!? YUCK!
It does say pre-wash for the bottles and bowls, so I'd take that to mean you should wash them afterwards.
I'm not sure I'd do it with the baby bottles, but I'm paranoid that way but I would do it for the dog's dishes and then wash them afterwards.
If you think about it, there is bleach in some dish detergents, so not a whole lot different.
NO freakin' way am I using it on my pet's bowls or my baby's bottles. You should wash it with soap and water afterward, not just drain dry, ICK! And if their stuff was bad enough I wanted to bleach it, I'd buy a NEW ONE.
Prewash means to wash BEFORE bleaching, not after.
Oh, and I don't use detergents with bleach either. I don't like covering my food stuffs in things that are toxic to eat.
thanks
