holiday. ANYWAY... which liquid soap do you prefer? I was never a
fan of Ivory and do like Ajax. Dawn, with bleach is ok.

Your choices?

Whichever concentrated name brand is on sale at the time.

Thank you.

Palmolive. Comes in a variety of scents and seems to work well on pots and
pans. Even shampooed the kitty with it once (evil grin) when I had him wet
and couldn't find the cat shampoo.

Method is my current choice. It's on PETA's good list, of course.

Method is probably owned by a PETA member, is why it's on their
list. I'd rather get my dishwashing detergent advice from Oprah
than any of the kooks at PETA.

Looking at the ingredients, it appears no different than any of
the other name brands and probably costs 3 times as much.

Palmolive green original. I don't want my dishes smelling better than
my original Mennen green after shave.

Actually I do dishes in the dishwasher but there's still plenty I do
by hand.

Ecover is my choice. I use it in liquid form for dishwashing. Tablet form
for dishwasher.

If you know of anyone who does a better job of keeping track
of who is or isn't animal testing, let me know. I'm open to
alternatives.

Original Palmolive green, Dermassage when I can get it.

Electrasol for the dishwasher. Because of hard water, a rinse with white
vinegar added first, then Jet Dry in the second rinse.

I bought a big bottle of some yellow stuff at BJ's over a year ago. I use it
for the few dishes we wash by hand and use it as a hand soap in the
dispenser.

Dishes come out better and easier and use less water in the dishwasher so we
use that for 95% of our stuff. I love the way glasses sparkle out of the
machine.

I suspect any animal testing that the dish detergent people may
have done, either directly or indirectly, was probably done a
long time ago when they came up with their formulations. No need
to test every batch that comes out of the old squirt bottle.

Besides, I rather like knowing that I'm not going to get a rash.
Or come down with skin cancer. Or grow a mustache on the back of
my had (Hmmm... a mustache there might actually cut down on my
napkin usage. Scratch that last one).

Lucky for you it was probably animal tested.

You don't understand serial animal testers. These are scientists
who can't cut it doing legitimate research, so they propose endless,
repetitive, unnecessary animal testing and sell it to whoever
is dumb enough to buy it. As long as they get paid they don't
care if they're testing the same thing over and over again.

I had a stopped up sink the other day and needed to do dishes
before the plumber arrived. I figured it would be easier just to
use the dishwasher and just bail the sink out as the dishwasher
was draining into the sink.

I was very surprised how much water the dishwasher actually used.
I would guess about 10-11 gallons. I wouldn't even use half that
washing them by hand. And I use calories while the dishwasher
uses kilowatts.

I'm pretty conservative with water when it comes to washing
dishes by hand, but I've never measured.

I had never heard that conspiracy before.

Most models today use half that. Unless you are hand washing in cold water,
you are still using kilowatts. I'd rather read a book or play with a hobby
that do dishes, but that's your choice. Nothing can convince me hand
washing is better.

Green Palmolive. The only one whose scent isn't objectionable. Can even
be diluted a little and still cleans well.
