Fighting Dirty Dishes and Dirty Sponges this Holiday – Life as Leels

Fighting Dirty Dishes and Dirty Sponges this Holiday

Honestly, it doesn’t matter if it’s the holiday season or not, we constantly have way too many dishes sitting in my sinks and on my counters. For some reason, we just cannot keep up with the dishes (that paired with the fact that I hate dishes as much as I hate cleaning the kids bathroom with a 4 year old boy!)

Besides, the dishwasher can only fit so much which then leaves the dishes that need to be washed by hand sitting there.

I dread the holiday season. I generally do Christmas Eve dinner, a Christmas morning brunch plus Buggy’s birthday two days later. That means a lot (and I mean a lot) of dishes!

This year? I have a secret weapon.


This new formula not only has the “powerful grease cutting action that leaves dishes sparkling”, but also washes away odor causing residue on sponges to keep them smelling fresh.

I don’t know about you, but after washing one set of dishes after a holiday meal, the sponge is greasy, slimy and stinks. I feel like I need an entire stock of sponges just to get through the holiday hustle and bustle of dish cleaning!

I look forward to spending this holiday season with Palmolive and not having to go through a million sponges just to clean up after three meals!
