This $7 dishwasher magnet is your secret weapon for staying tidy
Sometimes it's the little things that add to or detract from your household harmony; the myriad little tasks and annoyances that come with the daily grind.

Order in the house
Customers love what a difference this little sign can make!
"What a lifesaver," one five-star reviewer shared. “OK, that’s dramatic. Definitely a time saver, though, as I don’t have to answer to my family asking me 50 times each day whether the dishes in the dishwasher are clean or dirty... The magnet works great with a strong hold, and the slider over 'Dirty/Clean' is simple to use. Exactly what I wanted.”
As this parent put it: "It's such a simple thing, but such a big help... Even my 4-year-old can tell if it's dirty or clean and then knows if she can put her dirty plate in or take out a clean cup. I wish I would've bought one sooner and I would definitely give it as part of a housewarming gift or something."
Works at work too
It's also a great way to bring some organization to your workplace, says this five-star reviewer: “Needed this for the office after everyone kept saying they weren't sure if the dishes were dirty or clean. This helps, and it looks awesome, very clean and sturdy. The magnet attached right to the dishwasher so didn't need to use the adhesion.”
Never unintentionally eat from a dirty bowl again — pick one of these KitchenTour magnets to help.
