Palmolive Essential Clean Liquid Dish Soap

At the risk of sounding like the Ina Garten of cleaning, when it comes to dish soap, buy the good stuff. And by “the good stuff” I don’t mean the expensive, beautifully scented and packaged stuff — I mean Palmolive or Dawn (or Seventh Generation, if you want a plant-based dish soap). There is a real difference in how these category leaders perform against competitors, and it’s worth spending a little more for a premium dish soap because you’ll use less of the product to achieve the same clean. Another reason to buy a good dish soap is that dish soap is wildly versatile and can be used to clean almost everything in the kitchen, from the top of the cabinets all the way down to the floor.
