I used to go through liquid dish soap like crazy. I’d pour a ton directly onto a wet sponge, vigorously scrubbing the dishes, every time I was doing the dishes. After lathering a few plates, the sponge would lose the bubbles, forcing me to add a squirt or two. It came to me as a huge shock that liquid detergent sticks on the dishes even after multiple rinsing. Liquid dish soap is also not as environmentally conscious as bar soap.
The proper usage for liquid dish detergent is the same as using Clorox. You must dilute it in water. I didn’t know this. And I didn't think I'd be diligent enough to dilute it every time I was doing the dishes.
So I immediately transitioned to dish bar soaps. I’ve tried a few brands, and I have been extremely happy with Toun28’s Dish Bar Soaps. Unfortunately, Amazon or other online sellers no longer them in the United States, so I had to look for an alternative.
Many reviewers were recommending the Natural Dish Bar from Mama Forest. They are both made in South Korea and are safe enough to wash fruits and vegetables, not to mention baby bottles.
The packaging lists all the ingredients.
I bought two – Lemon Glory and Pink Heaven. Although the descriptions indicate the bars have lemon and grapefruit scents, respectively, the aroma is very subtle and faint. If you’re used to heavily scented dish soaps, you may not be able to detect the difference. Compared to unscented liquid soaps commonly found in the market, the scents are more detectable.
They are exceptionally great at breaking down grease or coffee stains.
I hand wash a few kitchen items and expensive dishes. And everything gets squeaky clean.
It also lathers incredibly well. Much better than liquid detergent, in fact, all without sulfates! I wash all my produce with this dish bar, as well. Everything gets squeaky clean without any soapy aftertaste or residue.
