MRS. MEYER'S CLEAN DAY Lemon Verbena Dish Soap 16oz

I so wanted to like this because it is more environmentally friendly than what I normally use. I love the smell, but because this is a phosphate free product it did a barely average job of cleaning dishes. It didn't handle grease well at all and left an awful lot of residue. I had to rewash at least 50% of my dishes. The only way it worked fairly well was to wash in the absolute hottest water possible, which meant not leaving the dishes to soak for even five minutes. I'm all for ecco friendly products but if they don't work well then they are pointless. I now use this to wash my hands. It's concentrated so a little goes a long way and it's a bit drying to the skin but it should last a long time.
