I do a lot of cooking for my family and cook at least 2 out of 3 meals a day for my family. Toss in my passion for baking and well, you get the drift…always a sink full of dirty dishes!
With that said, I do use my dishwasher most of the time, but there are a few times every week when I hand wash dishes. Sometimes I hand wash them when I only have a few to do or I will hand wash them when I use my china and crystal serving dishes.
For the past few months I have been reviewing several of the Palmolive Soft Touch Dish Liquids and today…I am reviewing the Palmolive Soft Touch with Vitamin E Dish Liquid which happens to be my favorite one out of the three I reviewed. In addition, they sent along an adorable pink colored bottle of nail polish!
This is a new formula that is ultra concentrated, so a little bit goes a long way! It’s tough on dishes but super soft on your hands. I filled up my sink with some warm water and added only one squirt of the dish liquid to it. As you can see, it has a nice suds action and I appreciate that. Equally important is that it didn’t make an over-abundance of suds!
So I got busy washing our dinner dishes which included a lasagna baking pan, a greasy frying pan, a sauce pan, our dinnerware and a few plastic storage containers. I spent about 10 minutes hand washing dishes and everything came clean. There was no soapy or greasy residue left on anything. I was really impressed how clean my lasagna pan came clean and no grease left in the frying pan! Yay!!!
That one little squirt of dish soap was enough to do all of our dinner dishes and then some! When I was done I noticed how soft my hands felt thanks to their Vitamin E formula. Usually I slap hand cream on my hands after doing dishes but I can skip that entirely when I use the Palmolive Liquid Dish Soap!
