The Secret to Spotless Dishes? Your Pod Needs a Plus One

  • Lemi Shine

I thought I was doing everything right. I loaded the dishwasher, popped in a dish pod, shut the door with confidence and still ended up with cloudy glasses and dull plates. So I did what most of us do. I reran the load. I complained to the group chat. I even blamed the dishwasher.  

But nobody ever told me the dish pods weren’t the full story!

Here’s the truth: if you have hard water (and chances are you do—about 85% of U.S. households do), your dish detergent pod needs a plus one. That plus one? Lemi Shine Booster.  

Let’s break it down.  

What’s Hard Water, Anyway?

Hard water is loaded with minerals like calcium and magnesium. They’re harmless to you, but brutal on your appliances and dishes. Signs you have hard water? Cloudy glassware, spots on silverware, white film on dishes, funky odors from your machine, and a dishwasher that’s working overtime with underwhelming results.  That’s where Lemi Shine comes in.  

Dish Pods: Your Daily Clean Machine

 

Lemi Shine Dishwashing Detergent Pods are your go-to for getting rid of grease, grime, and food gunk. They’re packed with powerful plant-based enzymes and citric acid that cut through messes—without any harsh stuff. But when hard water enters the picture, even the best pods need a boost.  

Booster: The Hard Water Hero

Lemi Shine Booster is made with citric acid that binds to hard water minerals, softens the water, and lets your dish pod do its job—without interference. It breaks down the buildup that hard water leaves behind, enhances your detergent’s cleaning power, and keeps your dishwasher sparkling inside and out.  

How to Use the Duo

It’s simple! Just drop in your dish pod like usual. Then sprinkle two tablespoons of Booster directly into the bottom of your dishwasher before you run the load. That’s it. No extra steps. No guesswork. Just cleaner dishes and a happier machine.  

Why It Matters  

Using the pod and Booster together doesn’t just get your dishes cleaner. It helps protect your dishwasher from limescale buildup, grime, and wear over time. You’re not only getting a better clean, you’re extending the life of your machine with every load.  

So yeah. Nobody ever told me my dish pods needed a plus one. But now that I know, I’m never running a load without Booster again.  

 

Do less. Shine more. Every time.
