The best pet is Dawn is made from petroleum.

I don't like to simp for big companies, but I used to always buy the cheapest dish soap and now... That dawn spray foam is the tits. So little of it does so much

[–] Graphy@lemmy.world 14 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

The foam spray gives me like a fuzzy lung feeling when I breathe after spraying. I told my brother as well as my wife about it and both assholes asked if I was huffing it.

I’m calling it now, I’m going to be the dawn foam mesothelioma poster child

The Environmental Worker’s Group gives regular Dawn an A-B rating (depending on scent) and a C rating for the foaming stuff, so it wouldn’t surprise me if you’re right. Probably not a huge issue with home use, but if you’re a dishwasher for a decade using it, who knows.

[–] SatanClaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 15 hours ago

That's a scary thought. Foamed soap is in all public places for the most part that I've seen. USA resident.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 11 hours ago

It's the added citric acid.

I work in a kitchen and rarely we run out of soap. If they bring anything besides dawn back they're sent out to try again. Dawn is the only thing that works

Fuck Ajax shit dries your skin out

It might work but god damn does it smell awful, and make dishes and sponges smell awful.

[–] Zeppo@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 hour ago

Yep. And the fragrance is entirely unnecessary.

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 6 points 17 hours ago

That's what I was going to say. If someone you know uses it, you can smell it when you walk in the kitchen.

I said, “IT MIGHT WORK BUT GOD DAMN DOES IT SMELL AWFUL, AND MAKE DISHES AND SPONGES SMELL AWFUL.”

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 17 hours ago

Have you not tried Ivory!?

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It's not simping to help others out with solid product suggestions. I'll try Dawn next time. Wife buys the cheap watery shit, can't convince her she's saving money by purchasing water.

My big one is Arm & Hammer stuff: antiperspirant, toothpaste and laundry soap. No gagging perfumy smells, toothpaste is neutral tasting, all of it cleans. And they're not even a premium brand.

[–] Th3D3k0y@lemmy.world 4 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

I've done a few consumer panels before in regards to shampoo and soaps, my most common comment is "I like that it smells like I've clean myself in the shower, then goes away".

I want to be olfactorally invisible. Just literally no smell at all, not human, not floral.

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 4 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Look into personal care products for hunters. That's their whole purpose.

[–] SatanClaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 15 hours ago

Yup. I've enjoyed doved unscented for sensitive skin soap for ages. It does a good job at this imo

[–] Gerudo@lemm.ee 3 points 15 hours ago

Absolutely. I penny pinch, but that is a buy every time.

[–] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 14 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Are those the birds they wash with dish soap after oil spills? The ones that die anyway because they’ve ingested tons of petroleum contaminated shit that they can’t purge or digest?

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 11 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Came here to say something like this...

"Wait why is the duck covered in black goo. Is that oil?"

"Listen don't worry about that, dawn soap cuts through all sorts of oil"

"But don't ducks need to have a thin coat of their natural oil on their feathers to protect them from the elements?"

"Let's change the subject, we have to dry this duck, and for that, we'll turn to the Quicker Picker Upper..."

[–] earphone843@sh.itjust.works 14 points 13 hours ago

Ducks losing their natural oil isn't the issue here. They can get that back pretty easily.

It's more that being completely covered in crude oil is very bad for you because it's crude oil, and just washing it off doesn't fix the issue.

[–] Remember_the_tooth@lemmy.world 13 points 19 hours ago

That quacks me up.

[–] DoctorWhookah@sh.itjust.works 6 points 19 hours ago

In my house we call it duck soap. When we run out we add duck soap to the grocery list. When there is a picture of a baby duck on the label, what else could it be?
