Why Dish Soap Matters More Than People Realize
Dish soap is one of the most used cleaning products in the home. It touches your hands daily, it coats cookware and plates, and it ends up on things you eat off of.
Most people choose dish soap based on:
scent
foam
“degreasing power”
price
But what really matters is whether your dish soap:
leaves residue on dishes even after rinsing
irritates skin over time (especially if you wash often)
contains fragrance chemicals that linger on plates and cups
contains preservatives that trigger eczema and dryness
uses surfactants that break down cleanly in water
works without requiring excessive product use
This breakdown shows readers what to use, what to avoid, and how to choose without getting tricked by clean-looking labels.
