LPT Using Dish Soap on Drains
I had a plumber recommend about a year ago...Buy cheap dish soap at the Dollar Store a few times per year...and dump an entire bottle down the drain. Flush with hot water 15 min later. He explained most buildup is oil based and dish soap will help dissolve it..and is non corrosive.

My mother washes fruit and vegetables with dish soap and I can't get her to stop.
She claims it "washes out" and to be fair I can't taste anything but it's always weird knowing she puts dish soap in the strawberries. She says there's a lot of dirt and stuff in vegetables, but so far attempts to convert her to vinegar or baking soda have been unsuccessful. submitted by /u/autistic-terrorist to r/mildlyinfuriating [link] [comments]

Dish soap that’s not $$$
Looking for truly non tox dish soap, preferably EWG verified, that can be used with hard water for the following purposes: - light cleaning of dishes (nothing major as most things go in the dishwasher) - kitchen cleaning like wiping counters - general cleaning like wiping spills - washing up baby eating utensils I’m aware of Attitude but it’s so pricey. Castile feels like a good option, but I’m in the Netherlands with very hard water. I also don’t want multiple products for every conceivable purpose- I’d like to keep it simple. Thanks!

Lentil soup with smoked ham, onions, celery and dawn dish soap
Sautéed the onion and celery after cooking the lentils and ham for about 20 minutes only to find out the pan I grabbed was not rinsed well at all. I thought I maybe smelled soap when I was cooking but the soup was so aromatic it masked it. Taste testing the bubbles verified it though. I wish I could blame my wife but I really don’t remember which one of us washed that pan last submitted by /u/Potential-Draft-3932 to r/mildlyinfuriating [link] [comments]

At my wits end - dish soap woes
I’ve tried all the “green” dish soaps and I’m about to give up trying and just use Dawn. My husband is great but his biggest flaw is his inability to properly clean dishes and a non-grease fighting soap has made the issue even worse - I’m constantly pulling things out of the cabinet that are still covered in oil or grease or whatever. Anyone know of an ACTUAL greasy fighting green dish soap? Or - if you’ve resorted to Dawn any more sustainable ways to keep it? Do they sell it in bulk? Etc.? submitted by /u/KaleandSushi to r/moderatelygranolamoms [link] [comments]

I’ve given up and it’s beautiful.
I went to the store and, instead of grabbing the natural dish washing liquid that I've been buying every other day because it runs out so quickly, I grabbed the Dawn Platinum stuff that comes in the upside-down squeeze bottle. I could degrease an engine with this shit. (I'm still using the granola laundry detergent sheets, though.) Have you had any "I'm going to give up this specific granola thing" moments lately? ETA: Ended up buying a smaller bottle of natural dish soap and I'll just use it with the cups, lightly soiled stuff, and the baby's stuff. Hopefully it will last longer with the Dawn doing the heavy work. Truly moderately granola. submitted by /u/AskimbenimGT to r/moderatelygranolamoms [link] [comments]
