But when my wife is gone so is MY dish washer..........so what do I do ? We forget what little nasty's are on our tools, sure we use gloves when skinning........but you put the tools down till tomorrow and the nasty's are still on them. Add a little extra alcohol to your sani-whips jar because it does evaporate over time.
