most effective dish detergent
Photo: shop.orskportal.ru
Average price in Russia: 95 p.
AOC is a record holder in terms of speed and efficiency of washing dishes. The product is thick, gel-like, gives a large number of resistant foam. The composition is nothing revolutionary, up to 30% anionic surfactants, there is a thickener (salt), an antibacterial additive and components that soften the skin of the hands. Great for frequent, voluminous and difficult washes.
Pros:
- the best ratio of price and quality of washing;
- high efficiency;
- keeps foam for a long time;
- does not dry out hands.
Minus: high percentage of anionic detergents - rinse very thoroughly!
Typical reviews about AOS antibacterial:
“Aos is the best dishwashing detergent, it is very economical and effective. It washes fat even with cold water, it foams perfectly. The price is not the smallest, but in its price category it is the best.”
“For two years now I have been using only AOS, it is very economical, I have used a large bottle for a year. Super tool!
2. Frosch lemon/pomegranate balm 500 ml
The best natural dishwashing detergent
Photo: e-dostavka.by
Average price in Russia: 100 r.
A popular German brand positions its product as a natural washing balm based on vegetable surfactants isolated from lemon peel and pomegranate. Used as a perfume lemon oil and lactic acid as a preservative. There are no salts-thickeners in the composition, washability meets GOST. Housewives like the unobtrusive aroma of the product, good cleaning properties, as well as an almost natural composition.
Pros:
- sufficient efficiency;
- does not leave a smell on the dishes;
- natural aroma based on natural oils and extracts;
- relatively safe composition.
Minus: dissolves fat a little worse than the leader of the rating.
Typical balm reviewsFrosch:
“The smell is pleasant, not chemical, not strong, it does not remain on the dishes. Foaming is quite decent, it washes dishes, including in cold water.
“I have been using the “frog” for a long time and do not change him - he is the best. Yes, it washes dishes a little worse than thermonuclear products, but the aroma is fantastic and natural ingredients in the composition.
3. Fairy 500 ml
best dishwashing detergent
Photo: cs6.pikabu.ru
Average price in Russia: 70 p.
One of the strongest dish detergents, recommended for very dirty dishes, burnt pans and oily pans. Many housewives like the interesting aroma and excellent cleaning properties of Fairy. However, the washability of the product is worse than that of the leader, and the foaming is lower.
Pros:
- economical;
- very effective against fat.
Minuses:
- too "bright" aroma;
- must be washed off very thoroughly;
- dries out the skin more than other products.
Typical reviews aboutFairy:
“Fairy is always in my kitchen cabinet. #1 anti-fat product! I don’t use it every day, but only he can quickly wash off burnt fat and other bad things. And they are also convenient to display greasy spots from clothes."
“The gel has a pleasant smell and very quickly and efficiently launders all the dishes to a squeak! Now I don't spend a lot of time scrubbing pots and pans."
4. Organic People Ecogel 500 ml
quality organic dishwashing gel
Photo: the-green.ru
Average price in the Russian Federation: 230 rubles.
gift for lovers natural remedies. According to the manufacturer, all detergent components of the gel are derived from herbal ingredients. The composition is enriched with glycerin, essential oils and herbal extracts, and natural sea salt is used as a thickener. The tool shows itself best in the fight against ordinary pollution, but it copes worse with abundant fat. Alas, the high price does not allow us to put this very high-quality tool at the top of our rating.
Pros:
- natural composition, biodegradable;
- essential oils as fragrances;
- thick;
- forms a thick stable foam;
- without dyes;
- comprehensive information about the composition on the package.
Minuses:
- the effectiveness is lower than that of more "chemical" means;
- high price.
Typical Ecogel reviews Organic People:
“Great gel, thick and lathers well. I love the chic natural orange scent, the handy dispenser and the long lasting foam this gel creates.”
“A very pleasant product with an attractive composition and sufficient cleaning power. Burnt pans will not be washed off instantly, but it copes with everything else flawlessly. I also wash children's toys with them.
5. Eared nyan gel 500 ml
popular baby dishwashing gel
Photo: agusik.com.ua
Average price in Russia: 75 rubles
Domestic gel with a reduced content of anionic surfactants (5-15%, in Fairy - 15-30%). The composition does not indicate which anionic substances are used, so we cannot unequivocally recommend this product for children's dishes. However, for "adult" dishes, this is a completely high-quality product, without dyes, with an almost imperceptible smell and with the addition of aloe vera to protect the skin of the hands.
Pros:
- copes well with grease, including on plastic, silicone, glass and latex;
- the content of aggressive surfactants is lower than in other popular products;
- without dyes;
- convenient corrugated bottle.
Minus: there are complaints that the smell remains on the dishes, although the product itself has almost no smell.
Typical reviews of the gel Eared nannies:
“The washing qualities of the gel are at their best, it washes everything, even with greasy dishes it copes once or twice. Aloe vera in the composition pleases, the product does not dry the hands.
"Pleasant dishwashing detergent without too much" chemicals. Nyan is very economical - it foams well and has a pleasant smell. I use it to wash children's dishes, but I try to rinse with water longer.
6. Sorti 500 ml
best inexpensive dishwashing liquid
Photo: kubstore.ru
Average price in the Russian Federation: 50 rubles.
Cheap gel is not by chance in the middle of our list, because it deserves attention as a product, the quality of which noticeably "overtakes" its price. The composition of "Sorti" is identical to the composition of more expensive products, and only a more liquid consistency indicates the budgetary origin of this product. It is curious that Sorti and the leader of the AOS rating have the same manufacturer (Nafis Cosmetics, Kazan).
Pros:
- low price with good quality;
- does not dry the skin of the hands;
- good cleaning properties.
Minuses: no obvious minuses were found, except that it is more liquid than expensive products.
Typical reviews aboutSorti:
“Good foaming, with one drop you can wash a standard slide of dishes. Easily washes grease and dirt in cold water. Normal smell, easy to wash off, does not irritate the skin of the hands.
“The best dishwashing detergent, it is in no way inferior to its advertised comrades.
Moderately thick, with a convenient dispenser, copes well with fat, easily launders hated pans.
7. Mama Lemon 1 l
excellent Japanese dishwashing detergent
Photo: www.sale66.ru
Average price in the Russian Federation: 260 rubles.
A good analogue of popular brands for those who are looking for something new. The composition is classic, the ingredients are the same as in most store products. But Mama Lemon does not contain a thickener (salt), so it does not dry out hands. Wash quality is top notch. It smells good, rinses well, there is a dispenser with adjustable pressure. The hostesses claim that they successfully wash not only dishes, but also floors, kitchen surfaces and tiles.
Pros:
- large volume;
- convenient "drip" dispenser and attractive bottle;
- gentle natural smell;
- can be diluted with water 1 to 3 without loss of washing quality;
- there is an option in the package (cheaper).
Minuses:
- not sold everywhere
- high price.
Typical reviews about Mama Lemon:
“It foams a little weaker than Fairy, but it also rinses off much easier, and there is no chemical smell left on the dishes. The consumption is quite economical, so for the price Mama Lemon justifies itself. I put the product 5 and recommend it to everyone.
“The tool turned out to be universal, it can wash any surface. It foams softly and not plentifully, launders to a squeak, easily copes with greasy dishes, but for burnt pans, in my opinion, it is rather weak.
8. Sarma / Sarma antibacterial gel
most economical dishwashing liquid
Photo: pakstorg.ru
Average price in Russia: 52 p.
Gel Sarma from Nevskaya Cosmetics is a strong agent with a high content of anionic surfactants (up to 30%) and a thickener. Fans of eco-chemistry are unlikely to like this. But the fact that Sarma does an excellent job with dirt, grease, soot, smells good and is inexpensive, was appreciated by many. Inexpensive analogue of the "thermonuclear" Fairy and AOS from a domestic manufacturer.
Pros:
- high efficiency;
- low price;
- economical consumption;
- antibacterial properties (removes unpleasant odors).
Minuses:
- due to the "strong" composition can dry hands.
- classic "cheap" bottle.
Typical gel reviewsSarma/Sarma:
“I have been using Sarma for dishes for four years now. The product is thick and concentrated. For washing a small amount of dishes, a pea-sized drop is enough for me. The whole line has pleasant smells and a wonderful price.”
"The best dish detergent for every day, and washes well, and at an affordable price."
9. BioMio with cotton extract 450 ml
good domestic dishwashing detergent without smell
Photo: zebra61.ru
Average price in the Russian Federation: 180 rubles.
The product from the Russian concern SPLAT is declared as friendly to nature, suitable for washing children's dishes and even fruits and vegetables. Having studied the composition, we still do not recommend washing food products with it: there are anionic surfactants (which ones are not indicated), and in the same concentration as in most other similar products. But the fact that the product has no smell, does not dry hands and washes dishes well even in cold water, was liked by many housewives.
Pros:
- thick;
- good efficiency;
- without smell.
Minuses:
- high price with a volume of less than 500 ml;
- high consumption;
- hard cover;
- the product is declared as environmentally friendly, so I would like more information about the composition on the label.
Typical reviews aboutBioMio with cotton extract:
“I am satisfied with the BioMio dishwashing detergent. It can hardly be called 100% natural, but it is quite worthy of attention. Gently treats hands, washes dishes well. Economy is average.
“I like that the product is odorless, because. there are allergies at home. Washes well, to a scratch, does not leave a film on the dishes. I dilute it with water 1 to 3: it is spent more economically, and it is washed off better, and there is less harm to nature.
What dishwashing detergent to choose?
When compiling our rating, we understood that it was very conditional, because for some hostesses the main criterion is efficiency, for others - safety for health, for others - affordable price. And there are so many dishwashing detergents themselves that it is simply impossible to consider them all within the framework of a small article. But whichever product you choose, don't forget to use rubber gloves and never be too lazy to rinse the dish detergent thoroughly. Good luck choosing!

Greetings to all who have looked at my blog!
Today I picked up another bag of purchases from Faberlik, which, in addition to cosmetic products, contained dishwashing detergent.
After reviewing and trying it out, I decided to write a review article on the dishwashers we use and try to figure out what is better to wash the dishes.
Dishwashing detergents are subject to a set of specific requirements by which we judge their quality. For hostesses, the consistency of the product, the foaming, the smell, the convenience of packaging, and, of course, the price are also important.
But in the first place is still safety, which is above all. Naturally, this is not shoe polish - then everything that has not been washed off the plates, we will use with food. And we will use, according to the information, a lot.
As they say, for a year a person on average “eats” about 0.5 liters of detergent.
Let's dwell a little on the safety of detergents. Unfortunately, when you start reading the composition of a dishwashing detergent, you usually get upset, it’s not for nothing that the manufacturer often writes the compositions in tiny, barely distinguishable letters - it’s all chemistry, the words “natural” or “organic” are not found in the composition, well, at least at least in most formulations.
According to experts in the field of detergents - many dishwashers leave behind a stable, hard-to-wash film, and the reason for this is surfactants - surfactants. They come in several types, but I will not overload you with unnecessary information, and will consider only those that I met in the tested dishwashing detergents: anionic and nonionic.
It is bad if the product contains lauryl sulfates - which are anionic surfactants. They are especially aggressive, can cause allergies, kidney and lung damage, and impair immunity. Also, surfactants have the ability to accumulate in the body: in the brain, liver, heart, and especially in body fat.
And since we use dishwashing detergents almost daily, surfactants regularly replenish our body, continuously harming it. Surfactants are considered harmful and personal hygiene products, that is, where they are used externally, and even the fact that we use them inside after washing the dishes is scary to think about.
All surfactants are partially soluble in water, mind you - partially. That is, to wash them off the dishes, you need to rinse it thoroughly. It is recommended to rinse each cup-plate in running water for 15-20 seconds. Laurisulfates have a poor indicator of rinsability, for clarity, the numbers: the rinsability of lauryl phosphate is 0.47 mg / dm3, and the allowed maximum is 0.5 mg / dm3, that is, their rinsability is at the limit.
I don’t know about you, but I honestly admit that, even knowing about the harmfulness of detergents, I don’t rinse so many dishes - either I don’t have time or I forget. For the purity of the experiment, once again washing the dishes, I tried to rinse each item for 15 seconds. What to say?
Firstly, the lesson is not for the faint of heart, it is long and boring, secondly, it takes a lot of time, thirdly, the water consumption per month will be enormous, and if you have water meters, it is better to consider buying a more expensive one, but less harmful and not requiring such a long rinse.
Due to the harmfulness and poor washability of surfactants, experts advise choosing dish detergents with a surfactant content of at least 15%.
I saw information that in the countries of Western Europe there are restrictions on the use of surfactants - their content is allowed within 2-7%, in contrast to our 15%. I can’t say how true this is, but apparently voicing the numbers for our consumer, the experts were guided by the saying: “What is good for a Russian is death for a German” 😉
Now about non-ionic surfactants. These surfactants are completely, 100% biodegradable, so they do not cause harm. environment and human health. And if non-ionic surfactants are part of the detergent, they help to reduce the content of anionic substances on the skin.
Experts and GOST argue that after using dishwashing detergent, the protective layer of the skin, which is covered with a layer of fatty film on top and, of course, is destroyed under the influence of surfactants, should be restored within 4 hours to at least 60%.
Imagine how we degrease and dry our skin with one dishwashing, and not all detergents provide 60% recovery.
Focusing on the above data, I conducted a "debriefing" in relation to the means that I used most often. See what happened.
To get started, let's review the compositions of the three most popular and advertised products: Fairy, Morning Fresh and AOS.
Fairy
One day my mother heard on TV, in some useful program, that when testing dishes for dishes, Fairy showed the best results in rinsing dishes. Let's see if this is reflected on the labels with the compositions.
Dishwashing liquid "Fairy" composition: surfactants are presented both anionic and non-innogeneous: "5-15% anionic surfactants,<5% неионнгенные ПАВ». Кроме того, в составе: консерванты, ароматизирующие добавки, гексилкоричный альдегид и лимонен – и то и другое являются разновидностями отдушки, наличие этих веществ в концентрации, превышающей разрешенную, должно быть обязательно указано на этикетке. На этикетке о превышении не указано, видимо все в допустимых пределах.
"Fairy", I think, was used by almost everyone. Pretty good tool in terms of economy, density, foaming and a variety of odors. Although the last Fairy I bought (called ProDerma) with aloe vera and coconut turned out to be simply impossible to smell, at least for dish detergent. Too sweet, too full-bodied, and completely unassociated with the kitchen. In general, perfumes are sometimes overdone.
"Morning Fresh"
Of the surfactants in the composition, only anionic ones are indicated, and in an amount exceeding the recommendations of specialists: 15-<30%. Остальные составляющие: вода, отдушка, краситель, консервант. Средство, которое почему-то полюбилось моему мужу, и он периодически хочет видеть его в кухне. Я думаю, ему нравиться консистенция и ненавязчивые запахи. Но судя по объемам содержащихся в средстве анионных ПАВов, а также по отсутствию неинногенных, мыть посуду «Morning Fresh» нам больше не светит.
"AOS"
AOS dishwashing detergent, composition. Here for surfactants the following picture: anionic - 15% or more, but less than 30% (that is, also an excess), non-innogeneous less than 5%. Also contains: salt of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid less than 5% (which may cause irritation of the skin, mucous membranes of the eyes, respiratory tract), flavoring additives less than 5%, glycerin, preservative, pH regulator.
As a result of the analysis of the composition of these three funds:
I want to say that my mother was right)) - “Fairy” should have the highest degree of flushing. In his favor, I will refuse the other two dishwashing detergents due to the high content of surfactants.
For products that are sold in household chemical stores, I heard positive reviews about Pril and Frosch. I have never used them, I bought something from the cleaning company from Frosch, but I was not satisfied with the result, so I did not encroach on dishwashing detergents.
But for the sake of the purity of the experiment, I looked through the composition of the components declared on the labels. Here's what they look like.
5-15% anionic surfactants,<5% неионногенные, также содержаться амфолитные ПАВ (относительно безопасные, повышающие безопасность рецептуры) - менее 5%, консервант - молочная кислота, ароматические добавки. Прочие: косметические красители (в незначительных количествах), лимонное масло, композиция.
"pril"
Ingredients: 15-30% anionic surfactants, 5-15% amphoteric (same as ampholytic) surfactants. In addition to them, there are preservatives (2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-diol, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone) and flavors (Hexyl cinnamal, Limonene, Linalool). Well, also not wow, also an excess of anionic surfactants. Plus, methylchloroisothiazolinone is an antimicrobial and antifungal agent that is used for preservation purposes, and, according to manufacturers, is completely safe for the skin. Although, according to other sources, in some cases it can cause allergies and dermatitis.
Virtually none of the bottles in the content indicated which flavors, preservatives and fragrances were used. On most funds, moreover, the composition is too short. But the manufacturer is not required to indicate the entire composition of the product, this is explained as the protection of the manufacturer, preventing, for example, theft of know-how. Although for the consumer it is, of course, a minus.
Now about two products not bought in stores.
Means Ginger Yuzu I bought it on Iherb, where there is a fairly large selection of dishwashing detergents, and for sure you could find something very eco-friendly, but I, of course, was tempted by a beautiful bottle 😉
Manufactured by Method. Method is a company that specializes in environmentally friendly detergents that do not contain toxic ingredients and are sold in unique packaging designs. I agree with the unique design of the container, but it’s hard to agree about the environmental friendliness of the ingredients.
We look at the composition of the product, which is as follows: purified water, sodium lauryl sulfate, nitrogen lauramine, decyl glucoside, ethyl alcohol, glycerin, aromatic oil, methylisothiazolinone, methylchloroisothiazolinone, sodium polyaspartate, benzophenone-4, sodium chloride, citric acid.
That is, our “precious” lauryl sulfate is again in the lead, methylchloroisothiazolinone is not far from it, we have already met it at “Prila”. And maybe it’s only 2-7% there, as in the recommended European standards, but we don’t know this, because there is no percentage of the content on the package. And although the rest of the ingredients are no less harmless, I don’t plan to buy more.
I left a beautiful designer bottle to buy and pour it there. Many manufacturers produce their products in so-called refills, spare containers with b O more funds.
Dishwashing liquid Faberlik, review
If with regard to Faberlic care and decorative cosmetics, I have not yet fully figured out whether I like it or not, after all, testing cosmetics is a long process, then with regard to household chemicals, I am more and more inclined to a positive opinion.
This time, "Concentrated dishwashing detergent with sage extract" was purchased. Firstly, I must say that all the packages and bottles of household products produced by Faberlic, which I have purchased during this time, are stylish and neat, pleasant to use. This time the purchased dishwashing liquid turned out to be in a very nice bottle, here:
Secondly, what a wonderful smell it turned out to be! From the proposed range, I chose with the aroma of fresh lime. I don’t know yet how the others smell, but this one turned out to be just the perfect dishwashing detergent, a subtle, unobtrusive lime scent, just what you need!
About the composition: water, 5-15% fatty acid sulfate (based on coconut oil), 5-15% non-ionic surfactants based on coconut oil, less than 5% fragrance, sage extract, citric acid, preservative, table salt, food coloring.
Just like in other products, the manufacturer did not begin to decipher the name of the contained preservatives and food colors and fragrances, but he kept within the established 5-15%.
The best dishwashing detergent
Let's summarize, which of all the above dishwashing detergents is the best and safest?
Of all the above, I would stop at "Fairy", "Frosch" and "Faberlic".
Although I will not say that they are environmentally friendly and useful. But, on the other hand, if the product says “no surfactant” - this is tantamount to a statement that there are no detergents there and then it is not clear what kind of dishwashing detergent it is ... A worthy and harmless replacement for surfactants has not yet been found , and if this component is excluded, then all dish detergents lose their washing qualities, they simply will not foam.
Conclusions from the above:
1. We try to rinse the dishes well, since surfactants remain on the surface in very small quantities that are invisible to the eye. By rinsing the dishes longer in plenty of water, we will further protect ourselves.
2. Many of the dishwashers are concentrates (!), and the manufacturer writes in the instructions for use that it is better to dilute the product with water, which we usually do not pay attention to. So another way to reduce surfactant exposure is to dilute the detergent with water, and also not to put too much detergent on the sponge.
3. It is worth accustoming yourself to wash dishes with gloves. It seems uncomfortable to me myself, you don’t feel that you are washing, but somewhere I read an interesting phrase, the essence of which was that surgeons do many hours of complex operations with gloves on and everything is fine with sensitivity, but you see, for washing dishes enough sensitivity.
4. We choose the least harmful dishwashing detergents for ourselves. Of course, there is always a choice, you can abandon synthetic detergents in favor of natural products, for example, mustard, soda, laundry soap. Although this option is not suitable for everyone. For example, I know in advance that the smells and consistency of such detergents will irritate me, but this, of course, is my personal opinion. You can always try.
5. We continue to look for a remedy that will satisfy us in all respects. For example, the brands Almawin and Ecover are considered well-established, which produce products containing only vegetable safe (sugar) surfactants. Ecover I will definitely try by buying on Iherb. 
I hope you decide for yourself what is better to wash the dishes, and I have already ordered another ecological product in the online store, and I will definitely share my findings with you 🙂
Dishes, and they had never even heard of automatic machines. But with dirty cups, plates and fat in a frying pan, they coped no worse than modern devices. The question arises, how to replace bright expensive jars and is it possible to wash dishes with laundry soap, which costs mere pennies?
Criterias of choice
Despite the appearance of dishwashers on sale, not everyone has the means to buy it. And those who are not deprived of finances are sometimes in no hurry to purchase. They justify this step by saying that it is easier to wash one cup and plate than to wait for a whole set to be loaded.
And why spend money on expensive products designed for dishwashers, if you can quickly wash everything with your hands? In this case, how can dirt be removed and is it possible to wash dishes with laundry soap without losing quality?
On the shelves of hardware stores you can find a wide variety of products designed to destroy grease and dirt on kitchen utensils. The variety of prices and products is simply amazing. Sometimes advertising promises that the treasured liquid will cope with the problem in a matter of seconds without harming health.
The criteria for choosing when buying each person vary, but you should still adhere to the following tips:
- The product should quickly cope with fat, but at the same time not irritate the skin on the hands.
- Be thick enough and economical.
- The liquid should be completely washed off, leaving no traces and streaks, and be safe.
- Not the last role is played by the aroma, the appearance of the packaging and the cost.
It is better to choose fragrance-free dishwashing detergents if one of the family members has allergic reactions. In any case, before buying, you should feel free to smell the sample. If at the same time there are unpleasant sensations, then it is better to choose another product. Of course, it is difficult to find a product without preservatives and flavorings, so you should carefully study the composition on the packaging of laundry soap.
If the hostess is an adherent of folk remedies, then you can make soap yourself.
The composition of the brown bar
A reasonable question often arises whether it is possible to wash dishes with laundry soap. Certainly yes. Laundry soap, made in accordance with GOST, consists only of natural ingredients. No harmful surfactants or phosphates are added to it.
What is laundry soap made of? The basis is fats, oils of vegetable origin and sodium salts. Classic soap does not contain fragrances, preservatives and dyes. Therefore, you can not be afraid that the remnants of the product on the dishes will harm. Also, the soap solution is poured out without fear, because its composition is harmless to the environment.
The use of laundry soap can also be advised to allergy sufferers. At the same time, it effectively cleanses and even has a bactericidal effect.
Such a different laundry soap
On standard pieces, you can often see numbers, for example, laundry soap "72". They mean the percentage of fatty acids in a piece. You can also find other numbers that start from 65. Laundry soap "72" is the highest in terms of fat content. Efficiency and the so-called "soapiness" depend on it. This tool has a characteristic brown color.
Now on sale there are quite nice white pieces. Despite their aesthetic appearance, such soaps must be treated with caution. The fact is that for a spectacular appearance and a pleasant aroma, dyes and flavors are added to it. Therefore, such a composition of such a bar becomes unnatural. When choosing, you must carefully study the information on its packaging.
Another novelty is liquid laundry soap. However, such a product has nothing to do with the classic bar. If you study the composition, you can find not only dyes and fragrances, but also chemical elements. This product is suitable for washing clothes, but it is not recommended to use it as a dishwashing detergent.
Cons of laundry soap
Despite the advantages of a brown bar and the naturalness of the composition, this soap has its drawbacks. So, if hard water flows from the tap, then when washing dishes, soda should be added to the soap solution. Otherwise, there will be little foam, which will lead to a loss in the effectiveness of fatty acids.
Laundry soap also dries out the skin. Therefore, it is recommended to add glycerin to the prepared product or use special gloves. It is necessary to wash off the product from hands and dishes carefully, because sodium salts are not always safe when they enter the gastrointestinal tract.
Ways to wash dishes with laundry soap
The procedure is quite simple, it just requires some preparation. How to properly wash dishes with soap:
- it is better to arrange a sink in a small basin or sink with a cork;
- soap works better in warm water;
- washing dishes in hard water will lead to streaks and reduce the effectiveness of the soap solution, so you should add a little baking soda to the sink;
- rinse the dishes only under running water, completely washing off the solution;
- if you want to remove fat from pans, it is recommended to first clean it off with a napkin.
Soot spots will disappear if you collect a little water, grate laundry soap and put on a slow fire. After boiling, the burner must be turned off. As the water cools, the soot will gradually go away and it can be easily washed off.
Liquid detergent from laundry soap
Despite its effectiveness and low cost, many housewives are not ready to exchange convenient liquid dishwashing detergents for an uncomfortable brown bar of laundry soap. Therefore, you can prepare your own liquid, the composition of which will not contain harmful substances. The resulting gel can also be used as a detergent for washing children's dishes. You can use the following recipe:
- Half of the bar must be grated on a fine grater.
- Next, the soap needs to be melted. To do this, you can pour some hot water into a bowl, and put the solution in the microwave. Some heat soap in a water bath.
- After that, you need to add another half liter of hot water, and then leave the solution to cool.
- To protect the skin of the hands, add four tablespoons of glycerin to the soap. It is easy to find in any pharmacy. To prevent the product from spoiling, you need to add one tablespoon of vodka to it. The solution should be shaken well.
- For convenience, it is better to pour the prepared home remedy into a container with a dispenser. For this, any bottle of store-bought liquid, thoroughly washed and dried, is suitable.
- It is necessary to pour the prepared product while it has not cooled down yet. Then the liquid will become viscous, resembling a gel.
Useful Supplements
For greater efficiency, some housewives use little tricks. So, if you need to get a detergent for washing children's dishes, you can add mustard to the solution. It helps to better cope with fat and has an antibacterial effect without harming the health of the child.
To remove stuck pieces of food and soot, experienced housewives advise adding coffee grounds to the soap. It should be noted that such a solution has the properties of a liquid with abrasive substances and is not suitable for cleaning Teflon.
To give a pleasant aroma, you can add a few drops of essential oil to the soap.
Paste for better cleansing
Laundry soap is tested by housewives and time. It can replace a large number of different means. Its undeniable dignity in the composition. Laundry soap consists only of organic components and is not a product of oil refining. Therefore, it is safe for humans and the environment.
From laundry soap, you can prepare both a liquid solution and a thick paste. It helps to get rid of fat and rinses well from plates and cups. Paste for washing dishes from laundry soap is prepared according to the following recipe:
- A bar of laundry soap should be grated.
- Stirring constantly, pour in a glass of hot water.
- Then you need to add 100 g of soda, 10 g of glycerin, 50 g of mustard and a little lemon zest to the product.
- The resulting paste must be thoroughly beaten and transferred to a convenient container. At first, the product will become like a gel, but after cooling it will turn into a paste. Some compare it with the famous "Palmyra", which our grandmothers loved so much.
When preparing detergent from laundry soap, you should not strive to maintain exact proportions. By experimenting, you can achieve the desired consistency and get the best result. Essential oils work well as fragrances. They are not only harmless, but also have different properties that help in the fight against pollution.
Purchased ready-made dishwashing detergents have an unsafe chemical composition. Their remains are sometimes very difficult to wash off cups and plates. In addition, they negatively affect the condition of the skin of the hands.
On sale there are also natural eco-friendly options. But their cost is quite high. Therefore, the best solution would be to make such a tool on your own, from safe components. This is especially true for families with children and allergies.
