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.

Our test product was purchased at the local Walmart. We paid less than three dollars for the twenty five fluid ounce bottle.

Support the local economy by purchasing this excellent product at your local Mom and Pop store. You will feel good about your purchase and save money on gas by not driving.

During December 2008 we purchased the Joy Ultra Concentrated Dishwashing Liquid at Walmart for $2.11. We selected the lemon scented 30 ounce size. Joy is produced under patent and is distributed by Proctor & Gamble.

We added one teaspoonful of Joy to half a sink of cool water. We placed our dishes and utensils in the water and allowed them to soak for about fifteen minutes. This product is excellent and easily penetrated the dried food particles. The dishes rinsed clean with a minimal amount of water which is a great benefit in our ecology conscious environment.

Our baked on oven grease test consisted of baking fish in a 350 degree oven for forty minutes with a light film of olive oil spray. The second part of our baked on oven grease test consisted of baking chicken breast at 350 degrees for 40 minutes also using a light film of olive oil.

With just a short soak in the sink containing the Joy Ultra Concentrated Dish Washing Liquid the baking pans cleaned up nicely with our trusty S.O.S. Tuffy Nylon Scouring Pad. It was clear that this formulation of Joy was easily able to penetrate the baked on oven grease.

Ok so how did Joy perform on greasy pans?

Our test skillet had been used to cook seven pieces of bacon. Those of you that know how to cook can visualize the grease in this pan. We cooked the bacon long and slow under low heat so we could maximize the grease in the pan.

We soaked our bacon grease and egg encrusted skillet in the Joy Ultra Concentrated Dishwashing solution for fifteen minutes.

The bacon grease was easily dissolved by the Joy. In fact it is noteworthy to point out that this excellent dish washing liquid was easily able to suspend the grease and keep it out of our way. We noticed there was very little greasy residue on our hands.

Are there other uses for Joy Dishwashing Liquid?

During my high school years and before the automobile manufacturers migrated to clear coat paint Joy Dishwashing Liquid was my favorite for my car washing duties. On non clear coat paint Joy does a great job of cleaning the paint finish and the chrome including most bugs and road dirt.

The Joy Ultra Concentrated Dishwashing Liquid is an excellent performer. It performed so well on greasy pans that this product will give Dawn Dishwashing Liquid a strong run for the money.
