Regular dish soap in the dishwasher?
Comments (9)This gave me quite a laugh, as my hubby decided he'd do the same thing about a month ago to save money on DW detergent (he did NOT tell me of his plans to do this). One night after dinner I walked into the kitchen to find suds POURING out of the top and sides of the DW, completely covering my kitchen and dining room floor. Suds were crawling up the legs of my table and counters and had submursed some of my plants sitting on the floor. I screamed for hubby in a panic---he then sheepishly admitted he'd put in TWO DROPS of Dawn dishwashing liquid into the soap compartment of the DW. Let's just say that's the last time he did that. Thank goodness the DW pump didn't break, and I got a REALLY clean floor out of the deal----but stick with detergent! :)...See MoreBrand Of dish liquid.........
Comments (41)I use Dawn or Joy, whichever I get the better deal on. I can't tell any difference between their performance. And seeing the new formulas always have Joy with their version soon after, there is a similarity at least. In any case, either works just as well and far better than any other I've used. I do like the bleach alternative version. I also keep a bottle of Direct Foam on the sink for quick cleanups. Really like it. I can often find 25¢-30¢ coupons for one or the other and if I couple it with Walgreen's sale/coupon I can get it for 40¢-50¢/bottle. So I buy what I can at those prices. Used to buy it at Family Dollar. I'd get the non-concentrated Dawn/Joy for $1 for a 22oz bottle but they've shrunk to 16 oz and gone to $1.29. And they had some decent deals on the concentrated stuff but couldn't match the other deals I could get. So I don't mess with Family Dollar anymore. One of these days when I get low on dish soap I'll try one with the power scrubbers in it. But that'll be a while! Oh, and I used to buy Walmart Great Value dishwasher detergent to use in the laundry as a booster. Then switched to SunSations, as it was cheaper. But since switching to Tide Free detergent I don't need the additives anymore so I don't need the 4 or 5 boxes sitting on the shelf... I'll find someone to give it to. Maybe use it for toilet cleaner?...See Morehand soap and dish soap combo
Comments (5)I actively avoid buying antibacterial hand soaps & other products. It is very hard to find hand soaps that are NOT antibacterial but there is one I like from WalMart. I believe those antibacterial products are a marketing gimmick playing on our collective fear of dirt and germs. Instead of recognizing that some exposure to dirt and germs is just fine and may actually boost our immune systems, we try to annihilate the germs. Antibacterial soaps do not clean your hands any better than regular soap, and they have the potential to increase the problem of bacteria resistance. See the link attached http://blogs.wsj.com/health/2007/11/13/the-case-against-antibacterial-soap/ So I say, use one soap for both and don't worry about finding the antibacterial stuff.

Comments (61)No one said that scent is not important - it is very important, and it is especially important that the scents we want to enjoy are not obliterated by scents that we do not want. I was unable to detect the scents in food that I liked because they were being masked by the scent of the hand soap. Scents can also warn us of danger as much as they can delight us. I remember being constantly nauseated by the barnyard smells when I was growing up, and I would not wear shoes in the house that I had worn in the barn - I had to have galoshes to protect my shoes whenever I would go there. I saw one show on TV about human development, and it said that brothers find the scent of their sisters repulsive (and vice versa) thus helping to prevent interbreeding. Therefore scents are very personal, and what one person finds attractive, another person will find repulsive. For this reason, it is important to respect boundaries with regard to scents and not invade someone's space with unwanted fragrances. For me, the hand soap was a very unwanted fragrance. There are as many repulsive smells as there are pleasant ones. Smells also trigger the most intense memories, and olfactory memories have been shown to be some of the strongest. I've noticed this when I smell freshly cut grass....See MoreRelated Professionals
