The Right Detergent Can Make Dish Duty Easier
[2008-4-7]
Store shelves are full of dishwashing detergents. So how do you pick?
Consumer Reports tested 12 hand-dishwashing detergents to see which cleaned the best. Most were liquid. One was a foam cleaner.
For the test, glass was coated with a mixture of flour, egg, sugar and evaporated milk. The glass was then put into an oven for 10 minutes so the food could bake on.
After the glass cooled, testers placed it in a scrubbing machine with warm water and a teaspoon of detergent. Then, a counter tallied the number of scrubs it took to remove the food.
Steel panels were dipped in beef fat and left to dry to test grease removal.
"Our testers found that even the lowest-rated product will get dishes clean if you scrub long enough. But it turns out that the most-expensive detergent we tested, Dawn Direct Foam, got dishes done the quickest," said Kimberly Janeway, with Consumer Reports.
Another quick cleaner was Ajax Lemon Dish Liquid. It performed well in tests and costs less than Dawn.
Consumer Reports also tested several "green" detergents. Ecover Ecological came in just behind the top-rated Dawn Direct Foam and costs less.
