Day 147 - Mandarin Orange Liquid Dish Soap

This is dish soap.

  

I am looking at the label now, it says "LOTS OF FOAM" (in all caps like that).  See photo below...

As in, it cleans alright.  It bubbles a bit.  It works.

It is nothing spectacular (and by SPECTACULAR, I probably mean the cool dish soap I had last time that squirted tiny soap bubbles in the air each time I picked it up to use it and whose name I wish I remember because I would like to buy it again!).

The mandarin orange scent is fine.  Again, nothing amazing.  It is not TOO orange, nor is it not orange enough. 

The bubble-up factor is okay.  I, personally, prefer more bubbles, but those are likely bad for the environment so this stuff is probably assuaging a tiny bit of “killing the earth” guilt for me.

This is the foam I got from washing the coffee pot - does it look like LOTS OF FOAM to you??

I will use this bottle up.  Dishes will be clean.  Life will go on.  (And I will try and remember the name of the FUN ONE we had last time!)

Reasonable price, reasonable bubbles, reasonable scent - overall reasonable but not HOLY COW THIS IS GREAT!

Price – $2.99

Day 144 - Lemon Kitchen Hand Soap

First off, why a special soap for the KITCHEN…  Aren’t your hands equally as dirty when you wash them in, oh, I don’t know, the bathroom??   Sure, your hands may be touching things with strong ODORS in the kitchen – onions, shrimp, etc – but does that warrant a specialized SOAP?  It just seems so, so, so…  LIMITING I guess! 

Natural, nice scent, and soapy - what more can you need?

But that philosophical point aside, this Lemon Kitchen Hand Soap is good.  It is lemon without being overly scented, and the lemon smell is FRESH and not FAKEY.  It makes a nice lather, too.  And the PUMP on it is great!  Nice squirt mechanism.

The label is sort of funny – it has a “G” monogram on it, and I wondered if it was made by someone other than Trader Joe’s or what.  But no, the “G” seems to be God’s monogram, as around it, it says “Next to Godliness”.    Classy – this is like GOD’S soap or something!

Lemon Kitchen Hand Soap in action - tough shot to capture!  Had to rinse and dry my other hand to work the camera!  :)

One last point, I also like the COLOR of this soap.  It is a nice pale yellow.  The label tells us it has lots of nice stuff in it – coconut oil, lemon peel oil, and earth salts – so it must be good for us, eh?

Price – $3.49
