Dishwashing Soap Bars are Better for the Environment<\/h3>\n<p>The majority of soap bars that you can use for dishwashing use natural, non-toxic ingredients like Olive Oil. <\/p>\n<p>Try to avoid using dishwashing soap bars that use Palm Oil, as this is often sourced from non-sustainable sources. <\/p>\n<p>You can sometimes tell from the color what the ingredients are. <\/p>\n<p>Olive Oil soap bars are usually green, but palm oil soap bars are often white.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2109\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2109\" style=\"width: 575px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Top-view-of-Olive-Oil-in-a-Glass-on-White-Background.jpg\" alt=\"top view of olive oil in a glass\" width=\"585\" height=\"447\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2109\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Top-view-of-Olive-Oil-in-a-Glass-on-White-Background.jpg 585w, https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Top-view-of-Olive-Oil-in-a-Glass-on-White-Background-300x229.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2109\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Olive Oil has been used as a cleanser for centuries<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Soap bars like Castile Soap that have been for generations use only vegetable oils and fats in their ingredients. <\/p>\n<p>As a result, they are also <strong>vegan.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Unlike ordinary dishwashing detergent and other cleaners that are packaged in big plastic bottles, most soap bars come in recycled or recyclable paper packaging. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2110\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2110\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mint-soap.jpg\" alt=\"mint soap bars tied with string\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mint-soap.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/mint-soap-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2110\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">nly natural plant based oils and ingredients are regularly used in dishwashing soap bars.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In some stores, you can even purchase soap bars without any packaging at all.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"B2\">2. Soap Bars are usually Cheaper and Longer-Lasting than Buying Lots of Other Cleaners<\/h3>\n<p>A single soap bar usually costs less than $5 USD at the time of writing this article and can be purchased for a lot less when you buy in bulk. <\/p>\n<p>Like most soaps, they have a great shelf life, so if they are stored properly they will last you a very long time.<\/p>\n<p>The best place to store your soap bar is in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. <\/p>\n<p>It should also be wrapped up to protect it from mold and dirt.<\/p>\n<p>A single soap bar can also last for more washes than liquid soap, as you can easily pour out too much every time you do the dishes. <\/p>\n<p>Think about the bar of soap you use to wash your hands, how much longer that seems to last compared to liquid handwash!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2111\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2111\" style=\"width: 606px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shopping-for-cleaners.jpg\" alt=\"view from shopping cart in soap aisle of supermarket\" width=\"616\" height=\"425\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2111\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shopping-for-cleaners.jpg 616w, https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/shopping-for-cleaners-300x207.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 616px) 100vw, 616px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">No more spending precious time and money on lots of different cleaning products!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Again you need to remember that back in the day, this product was created not just for washing dishes. <\/p>\n<p>Your grandparents used soap bars for cleaning so many other things around your home.<\/p>\n<p>When you think about how much you can save from not having to buy many different cleaning products, it is easy to see why soap bars are such a good investment.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"B3\">3. Dishwashing Soap Bars are Very Effective and Easy to Use<\/h3>\n<p>Soap bars are super easy to use for dishwashing. The process is not that different from using liquid soap.<\/p>\n<p>You can use either a slightly damp scrub brush (like the one pictured below), or your regular dishwashing sponge, to rub the soap bar to pick up some soap and create a lather.<br \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2113\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2113\" style=\"width: 616px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Person-Holding-Brown-Wooden-Brush.jpg\" alt=\"person holding brown cleaning brush\" width=\"626\" height=\"418\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Person-Holding-Brown-Wooden-Brush.jpg 626w, https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Person-Holding-Brown-Wooden-Brush-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2113\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Use the stiff brush to create a lather to clean your dishes.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n<p>Only a small amount of soap together with warm water can be effective in removing tough food stains like coffee and sauce.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_969\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-969\" style=\"width: 590px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/soap-with-lather.jpg\" alt=\"dishwashing soap with lather\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-full wp-image-969\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/soap-with-lather.jpg 600w, https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/soap-with-lather-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-969\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A nice strong lather like this will clean your dishes in no time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If washing up with the soap bar is too annoying for you, you can instead use it to create your own dishwashing liquid. <\/p>\n<p>Just dilute the soap bar in water and keep it in a bottle next to your sink.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"B4\">4. Dishwashing Soap Bars can be Very Gentle on Your Skin and Good for Allergies<\/h3>\n<p>I mentioned earlier that many dishwashing bar soaps use Olive Oil are their main ingredient. <\/p>\n<p>This essential oil is very moisturizing and much softer on your skin than regular dishwashing detergent.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Person-Washing-His-Hand.jpg\" alt=\"person washing his hand\" width=\"627\" height=\"417\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Person-Washing-His-Hand.jpg 627w, https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Person-Washing-His-Hand-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Olive Oil is a trusted natural ingredient for many people like me with sensitive skin. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Natural-skincare-product-soap.jpg\" alt=\"natural soap bar\" width=\"627\" height=\"417\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Natural-skincare-product-soap.jpg 627w, https:\/\/ecostalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/Natural-skincare-product-soap-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 627px) 100vw, 627px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I find that regular dishwashing detergent always gives me a dry itchy rash on my hands over time.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cstm-ad\"><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script><!-- eco-disp-rect --><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:inline-block;width:300px;height:250px\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-8092381479390639\" data-ad-slot=\"9221595072\"><\/ins><script>(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});<\/script><\/div>\n<h3 id=\"B5\">5.

This is what you need to start washing your dishes with soap bars:<\/p>\n<h3>A Stiff Scrubbing Brush<\/h3>\n<p>The first thing you need a brush to rub on the soap bar with water to create a lather, and then rub onto the surface you are trying to clean.<\/p>\n<p>Using your existing sponge is ok, but a scrubbing brush with stiff bristles will work much better. <\/p>\n<p>The stiff bristles pick up soap flakes off the soap bar and spread it across your plate without you needing to scrub too hard.<\/p>\n<p>As an example, this brush below has a traditional grip made from Bamboo like a shaving brush which is great for working up a lather. <\/p>\n<p>The bristles are made from BPA-free recycled plastic making it long-lasting and environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n<p >No products found.<\/p>\n<h3>A Soap Dish<\/h3>\n<p>You need a decent soap dish to make the most of your dishwashing soap bar. <\/p>\n<p>A good soap dish isn&#8217;t just to make your sink look pretty (but this helps!).
