Whether you have a dishwasher or not, there are always some dishes, pots, pans, and other utensils for use in the kitchen that you need to wash by hand.
While you stand in front of the sink washing dishes you want to use a dishwashing soap that will work well, and make the job for you as simple as possible.
In addition, you don't want to dry or irritate your hands while you clean, and many people also enjoy a nice scent.
I also personally encourage everyone not to use antibacterial dish soaps (you can click the link to read my article about why).
There are almost an uncountable number of brands of dish soap on the market, some with multiple scents and formulations which just expands the variety even further.
Please skip down here to share your review now, to tell me which brand and scent of dishwashing soap you like (or dislike) and why.
Everyone knows to clean your dishes properly by hand besides the soap you need additional good tools, including sponges and scrubbers. You can read or share your own pot scrubbers review here, and kitchen and cleaning sponges reviews here.
Have you used a product that has worked well for you, or not lived up to expectations?
Either way, tell me about it, sharing the good and the bad.
Here are some helpful hints to make sure your review is as useful as possible:
