The heart of the home, where we gather, prepare, and (in my household) also eat our meals. It makes sense to make this area a natural haven, free from chemicals and plastics as much as possible. Here is some information, resources and tools to help move towards a practical, natural and beautiful kitchen.
Natural Olive Oil Dish Wash - This dish wash is made using all natural ingredients - no harsh chemicals, dyes or synthetic preservatives. This makes it especially good for use on baby bottles and children's dishes. It has an olive oil soap base, meaning it is great for use if you have sensitive or dry skin.
There aren’t as many soap suds…and that’s ok!
There's a commonly held belief that seeing the bubbles of a dishwashing liquid means it is working. This is a myth!
Dishwashing liquids clean your dishes by using surfactants (surface-active-agents). These are compounds that, when added to water, reduce the surface tension of water molecules, allowing cleaning agents to penetrate and dissolve dirt on the surface of your dishes. It is the soap (or saponified) molecules that are the surfactants doing the cleaning.
