    Since I rince my dishes before they go in the dishwasher, I only use HALF THE SOAP for the dishwasher.

      Since you rinse your dishes before putting them in the diswasher you half your water efficiency (not really the figure is actually much worse than half)

        Downside is, if you can’t understand what’s written, you’re gonna have a hard time knowing what that product is

        “ah, yes, of course. Kukurydza. Just what I needed for my recipe, I think?”

      Seriously. It’s something about shampoo, hair conditioner, laundry detergent and laundry conditioner especially. The product type is printed as small as the dosage on med bottles.

        I went without shampoo for two months because of this. Not my preferred means of hair care. I thought I was buying a twopack of shampoo off of Amazon. I actually bought a combined shampoo+conditioner package. The brand labeling was so prominent I didn’t even notice. So instead of applying shampoo+conditioner, I was doing conditioner+a different conditioner. And it wasn’t soo bad that it was immediately obvious. But yeah, I’ve fallen victim to this.

        That’s another one. Why put dosage inside a book on the side of a medicine bottle. Make that the front page, and if I want to read more… I will

    The dishes have never been softer! Granted, that’s a whole 'nother problem, but it’s still worth mentioning.

      A lot of people pre wash their dishes, and a lot of older dishwashers need some degree of pre washing, though modern ones shouldn’t and it’s more water efficient to run a full load in the dishwasher than to do it by hand. Doing both is the worst of both worlds.

      I can’t wait to have a dishwasher again.

    Convo with my wife:

    “There’s something wrong with the lotion in the shower. It’s burning my skin like Nair or something.”

    “??? What lotion?”

    “The big bottle that says goat milk on it or whatever.”

    “Honey, that is body wash.”

        Soap is caustic no matter how much goat milk and whatever bullshit they put in it here, and I have very sensitive skin. Go ahead and leave some on your body for a few hours without rinsing and report back when you see for yourself.

        I’ve come to understand that most of my habits aren’t normal. But, why not get it over with in the nice, warm atmosphere after toweling off?

    I accidentally used a clothes washing pod once, and it made the clean dishes taste so awful that they all had yo go straight back in the dishwasher. Then again, I have to hand-wash any plastics, as just one wash in the machine taints them for me. It’s why I’ve switched to mostly glass food storage.

    If you had it on “sanitize” the surfactants in the softener would probably loosen enough of the food and the extra-hot rinse would get it all off and kill the germs so you’d be okay except maybe for burnt lasagna.

      There are more varieties of cleansers in heaven and earth, kruhmaster, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

      (Soaps come in all different kinds, you can’t reliably tell by appearance in the container alone what any given product is, and as well human perception is flawed so it’s entirely possible to not notice something like this if you’re not looking too closely)

      Funnily enough my fabric softener is transparent and my dishwasher detergent is fully opaque.

      My dude has evidently never used a dishwasher because if you put dish soap in there instead of detergent (which is either solid or an opaque liquid/paste) you’re gonna have a bad time.
