Dishwashing soap

QUESTION:

On your website under the section "At Home With Debra . . . How I Really Live" you say that you use an unscented liquid soap that you got as a bonus to clean your dishes and countertops. I'm wondering if you've run out of that original supply and if so, what do you use now?

DEBRA'S ANSWER:

We're still using the dish soap we got with our water softener. Some other products I have used in the past to wash my dishes include Dr. Bronner liquid soaps (now made from organically-grown ingredients) and a dishwashing liquid I got at Williams-Sonoma that they don't carry any more, which was scented with kitchen fragrances, such as sweet basil and meyer lemon. When we run out of what we have, I'll probably go back to Dr. Bronner.

COMMENTS:

I really like Aubrey Organics Earth Aware soap. It's got some organic ingredients, is 100% natural (basically soap and herbs) and doesn't leave a soap residue that most soaps leave.

Dr. Bronner's is great, and so is Vermont Soap Organic castile soaps. VT soaps seem to be less drying as they add aloe vera and jojoba oil.

We use the dish soap by Bi-O-Kleen. It works very well and is concentrated so it lasts a long time. I love the natural grapefruit scent.

It is available at many health food stores. I purchase mine from the Sacramento Natural Food Coop's Elk Grove CA store.

They have an entire line of products that I just LOVE. Visit the Bi-O-Kleen website for more information.
