I love this dishwashing liquid. All those mainstream kinds that derive their fragrance (and their suds, and everything else about them) from weird chemicals smell terrible to me now - and the scent clings to my hands and sponge for ages.
Fortunately, Trader Joe's would never do that to me. When I use this dish soap, I don't have to worry about friends with chemical sensitivities. Or what weird invisible residue I might be eating off the plate afterwards. It comes in lavender and in orange; I think the orange one is particularly effective on grease, but that might just be my perception because I know that orange oil is great for that. Both smell good; not too strong, just a pleasant smell that comes from essential oils.
The best part about this soap, in my opinion, is that it makes FANTASTIC bubble bath. I toyed with a long line of costly bubble bath gels and foams and balls before this, always struggling to find one that didn't have weird chemicals and didn't cost a ton of money. I finally had to admit that none of them stood up to Trader Joe's dish soap.
A few squirts make a nice long-lasting foam; a lot of squirts make a huge foam head on the bathtub. And it's ridiculously cheap at three dollars a bottle. I could never find regular old bubble bath in a bottle this size, and certainly not at the same cost and with the same big white fuzzy piles of bubbles. And it lasts a long time... at least, until I get in the bathroom with it!
I haven't used this soap in a while because I don't get to Trader Joe's very often, but I really liked it when I had it. The lavender scent is nice and light, the soap is very effective, and it's biodegradable and doesn't have weird chemicals. It's also nice and cheap, and makes lots of suds, which I like. The only downside is that you can only get it at Trader Joe's. They need to hurry up and build one near my house!
works well; good price too.
I've been liking this dish soap quite a bit because it isn't so "thin." It has a consistency that allows it to run out of the bottle slowly so you don't risk using too much, more than you need. The scents are natural and not over -powering. It lathers up well and cuts through grease easily. All in all, I think it is a good product. And it eco-friendly too!
My wife loves this stuff... she buys it for us all the time. I like it too, although I really don't feel it is that different than many other dish soaps. And I'm not in love with the kooky name... but hey... whatever sells, right?
Still, I'll give it five stars because she likes it so much.
I bought this while I was at Trader Joe's on a whim, because I was almost out of dish soap. The low price and the fact that it was biodegradable drew me to buy it. Needless to say it is very good stuff. It cleans just as well as anything I've used. It also has a great scent that is natural instead of heavy and unnatural like some other brands. The only reason that I don't have it any more is because I didn't make it back to Trader Joe's when I ran out of dish soap again (I replaced it with another eco-friendly dish soap). But I will definitely buy it again!
