Well as the title suggests what dish soap do u currently use and for which particular reason?
I personally get some unconcentrated dish soap from my company.
(Ingredients: < 5% anionic Surfactants, nonionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, Perfume (Limonene), Perservatives ( Methylisothiazolinon, Methylchloroisotialiones), and colorant.
Those conservatives can cause allergies btw.
How would you rate it?
In a recent test of a german testing organization (Stiftung Warentest) unconcentrated dish soaps basically failed as well as all ecological ones (Ecover and such) winner was Pril Kraft Gel (Concentrate) and one concentrated dish soap brand of a discounter.
Mid range were products from Aldi and Lidl and Penny (Discounters)
13 scored a 4 or a D depending how grades go in ur country: Many discounter and grocery brands and also unconcentrated Pril as well as Palmolive.
Worst Ecover, Almawin uand Sodasan (All Ecological ones) and the two of Frosch a german brand
What was the test that these soaps failed? That they just donât clean well?
Or some environmental thing? I use Glass Gleam / Dawn / and Moerman.
Why? because they do the job.
Dawn works fine for me. I have some Dawn 3X and 4X that I will also try this year.
I will try adding Glide by Sorbo this year to see if it makes any difference. I also spray TSP on really messy panes that are next to barbecue grills .
I was using Moerman soft more than 90% of the time until I switched to Wagtail High Flyer last spring. I havenât decided what rubbers and squeegees to experiment with this year.
I agree with dcbrock, but I donât use Dawn. I use a combo of two different soaps. Why? Frick I donât know. Guess the only thing that matters in my opinion is when the customers say âWow , thank you⌠here take my moneyâ!
Used to use a little bit of 2 different soaps, sansco and something else for a while before thatâs what I was taught, but when I found out that I could skip the 40-80 dollar a gallon soap and use Dawn instead I switched and never looked back. It would take an awful lot for me to ever switch back to buying expensive soap.
Hey I. First time I ever seen anyone here mention Sansco. That was my intro too back in 85. The chem they use kind of belongs to them. If anyone wants I will research it again. I stopped using cuz of price too. Was using with ammonia. Did leave a noticeable film however.
Dawn. The cheapest, but the best. Why? It worksâŚand itâs what all the other kids are using. You have to find what works for you. Price, results. Perfumes, colorant equals film. Allergies? Donât use it then. Experiment. Find what works and stay with it. Products are sold that cost pennies to make. The mark ups are enormous. The customer doesnât care if I spend a buck and a half for a bottle of Dawn. They only care about the results. SoâŚwhat gets the results you want or need? Who cares what does that? My product is clean glass at a profit. How I arrive at that is up to me.
Do you see a difference when you use Dawn 3x vs Dawn 4x? I wonder about how different the effectiveness is, or whether thereâs a psychological component (it says 4x on the bottle so it seems like it would clean better?) I havenât tested them and wonder whether you think there is a noticeable difference.
I believe the bigger the number after the âxâ just indicates that thereâs that much less water in the bottle. Once you hit Ultra, itâs all the same, in my experience. Just takes less soap the bigger the numbers get, when youâre diluting it.
I quit using Dawn. I will use it if I am in a pinch but for now Iâve settled on Winsol 120 with a squirt of glidiator. I just tried the Unger Pill on a big storefront strip and liked it a lot. Nice light scent and lil to no bleed back from seals. I find these soaps to be cleaner between maintenance cleans compared to when I was only using dawn.
Offbrand dawn. Iâve never noticed a difference in cleaning power between any dish soap. I used dawn for years simply because itâs more concentrated than other soaps, therefore donât have to re-apply soap as often (I apply directly to the scrubber instead of adding to the bucket.)
Recently I converted to off-brand dawn from Meijer because common sense kicked in; itâs cheaper but does the same thing.
The only time Iâll use something else is Ecover or Mrs. Myers, because having a great scent is just a fun little morale boost.
, thank you⌠here take my moneyâ!
