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.
