###INTRO

I've printed a few clean/dirty dishwasher signs. After a bit of use (there are many on TVerse...and they are SUPER handy, especially with kids), I started thinking about using a magnet to quantize the sign switching between clean and dirty. I also thought about the fact that there are likely languages where the words for "clean" and "dirty" don't necessarily have the same number of letters and how the use of icons/pictures could make the sign a bit more universal.

From these thoughts and a little brainstorming was birthed the Magnetic Icon Dishwasher Sign. This thing feels sturdy and the action on the slider is crisp and quick. I hope others enjoy the utility of this as much as I enjoyed designing it.
