Can I use Dr.Bronners for dishwashing?

Just curious if this would be okay.

Thanks

I believe you can - I mean it's recommended for cleaning veggies of pesticides, cleaning hair and body, cleaning laundry, so I can't imagine that there would be anything wrong with using it on dishes.

I did a quick google search and it's looks like there's plenty of people using it for dishwashing

I have had a problem with it not working well to cut grease.

I've been using it for awhile, but I just can't get it to suds enough to my liking. I know the suds aren't essential, but it bugs me. Mr.P has officially requested we return to regular dish soap.

If you like suds, I've been using Seventh Generation dish soap, and it foams more than anything else I've used!

It was a failure for me. The suds didn't stick around long and it wasn't tough enough on grease. We've tried several other green options of dishsoap with luck. However, they seem to all contain SLS (including 7th generation) but tend to down play it and list it merely as a plant-based surfacant, if I remember my research properly. It is the one place I still use SLS.

I happen to be a fan of Dr. B's Sal-Suds, which I believe has some form of SLS (or along those lines) to cut grease.  May not be as EF/Green but its got to be a better choice than most of the major market brands.  It suds' like crazy, cuts grease but is still very gentle and smells great to boot.  Its the only product they offer (I believe) that can't be universally used, its only for household cleaning.

Any ways, my two cents.  HTH.
