I remember a few years ago when I was 13 years old and doing the dishes was a chore. Time seemed to creep and lurch by as I dipped, scratched, scraped, washed, rinsed, and dried dishes that had been sitting by the side of the sink what seemed like were days, but in reality, it was just after Sunday dinner.
Now days it doesn’t seem as big of a punishment as it seemed when I was 13, but the time still seems to creep and lurch.
As someone starts the faucet and fills up with water. What liquid dish soap are they going to choose? Does it matter? Is the cheapest stuff at the dollar store good enough?
I found this blog by Leigh Krietsch Boerner from The sweet home website. Leigh brings some good pointers such as what to look for in a dish detergent, things that they dismissed as they were running tests, and how they tested. She also reminds us that “ suds are not an indicator of cleaning power.” She also recommends adding the detergent before starting the water because it helps distributes evenly the soap in the sink.
I have attached the information of the blog at the bottom of this article if you wish to read more.
So the moral of the story is (summary): 1. Dish time may seem to lurch by. 2. Do your research. 3. If you have any questions please comment and I will do my best to answer.
