April 24, 2020 Comments : 5

#ad I love baking and cooking, especially this tim #ad I love baking and cooking, especially this time of the year. Cleaning up after it’s done? Not so much. And some of my favorite dishes to make involve a lot of stuck on and burnt on stains. Thankfully we have switched to the New Finish® Ultimate for our dishwasher and it works on even the toughest of conditions.

So now I can cook whatever I want (even my all time favorite: apple pie) knowing that Finish® Ultimate is doing the hard work and getting my dishes clean. Are you ready to make the switch? Available to purchase at @target online and in-store!

And make sure to check out my stories as I show you how I took on the Ultimate Challenge to see if Finish® Ultimate would really work in the toughest conditions!
