The Best Dish Soap for Your Home (in case of zombie attack)

Slow news day....

Well, I pay a couple of bucks to maintain membership at Consumer Reports and have worked in testing for years so this kind of study is interesting to me. Wifey just buys what is on sale though...

Dawn Power Clean
Cuts grease like magic: After dishes soaked for just five minutes, all stuck-on gunk wiped right off. No other product came close. Slightly fruity scent is mild and pleasant.

To buy: $4, pgestore.com.

Bonus: We explore whether washing dishes by hand is as effective as using a dishwasher.

I don't get it - why is this on ATS? Even
your zombie-reference seems a weak connection at best...seriously.

Um? if you didnt have 1500 posts i would dismiss this as spam. Wtf does this have to do with zombies?

And dishwashers are less effectivr than hand washing

Dawn never seems to wash off...plus it feels slimy..I don't like it..stuck on gunk is best removed with vinegar and baking soda..even peroxide will do the trick.

Speaking of zombie..have you guys seen the preview for World War Z?

I swear by fairy liquid. Costs more but lasts for ages as you don't need much and cuts through grease great! I've never had a dish washer so I can't compare?

As for zombies I'm sure if you squirt it in their eyes it would buy you a few seconds under attack.

Zombies are always a hot topic on ATS.

In my threads anyway...

Oh wait, didn't I post this in chit chat...

Yup, so true.

Wifey makes fun of me as I wash the dishes by hand then run them thru the dish washer.

Hand washing gets them clean, dishwasher gets them HOT.

Out in the wilderness with the scouts they gave us something like that, very concentrated.

Maybe a good thing to keep in the bug out bag (or ditch bag for the small boat Sailors out there).

Have not seen the preview,

is there a link?

Are we supposed to squirt the dish soap at the zombies to make them smell better?

I buy the cheapest stuff available - I have a drilled well, and the water is so full of minerals that it kills the suds on contact. I have to squirt every dish I wash. The dishwasher died. I think my water killed it

You might try the more highly rated products and they might work better in hard water.

The zombie attack thing was a typo.

You're probably right. Palmolive was on sale last time, and it is working a bit better.

Squirt that stuff at the zombies - it'll make their skin softer
