When testing and evaluating the Palmolive Antibacterial Dish Liquid we used the two sink method. One sink for soaking and washing and the other sink for rinsing. We filled one sink half full with cold water and added one teaspoon full of the Palmolive Antibacterial Concentrated Dishwashing Detergent.
We placed our dirty Corelle® dishes, Oneida® stainless steel flatware and the Revere® ware stainless steel cookware in the sink to soak. We waited for approximately one hour to allow any dehydrated food particles to rehydrate.
Allowing dried and cooked on food fragments to rehydrate breaks the physical bond between the fragments and the dishes, dinnerware and the pots and pans.
We then washed the dishes, forks, spoons, pans and other cooking utensils to see how much of the food residue had rehydrated and had been successfully removed. We also wanted to see how clean the dish water felt.
The Palmolive Antibacterial Dish Liquid did an excellent job of cleaning our moderately soiled dishes. The water felt good and still had some cleaning life left. We left the water in the sink for the next days cleaning.
We all need to adjust our lives to be better stewards of the environment. This includes minimizing our ecological footprint on this beautiful planet Earth that we all call home.
On day two we repeated the process using the same dishwater than we used for our first test. We placed more moderately soiled dishes, forks, spoons, cooking utensils and those pots and pans in the sink.
After the customarily one hour soak to allow dried foods fragments to rehydrate the dishes, flatware, ovenware and pans came out as clean as when they were new.
Using the two sink method to clean your dishes saves money on your water bill, water heating bill and the dish washing liquid. If you haven’t already done so this is a very good technique to adopt.
In addition by allowing the dishes, dinnerware and pans to soak thoroughly you minimize scrubbing, scratching and the use of expensive abrasives.
The use of expensive abrasives such as steel wool, abrasive scouring pads and heavy duty kitchen cleaners will scratch the surfaces of your dinnerware, flatware and pans.
The scratches will make it easier for food and bacteria to bond by clinging to the microscopic imperfections in the surfaces. This will make hygienic cleanup much more difficult.
We really like the Palmolive Antibacterial Dish Liquid. Because of it’s excellent dishwashing characteristics and the fact that this particular dish washing liquid is proudly Made in the USA the Palmolive Antibacterial Dish Liquid has quickly become the favorite of our testing and evaluation team.
