How to Wash Dishes with Dr. Bronner’s

There are many ways to wash dishes with Dr. Bronner’s Castile Soap and Sal Suds. In the video, I cover many of the different ways I’ve washed dishes. Here’s the run down:
Castile in a foaming pump: This is the beauty of the Castile Soap. Though it is designed for skin, it beautifully cleans all surfaces, which means the same foaming soap I keep sinkside for handwashing does a great job washing a single dish. Dilute 1 part soap to 3 parts distilled water. (I know I’ll get the question whether you can use Sal Suds in a foaming pump. Yes, you can, diluted at 1 part Sal Suds to 6 parts water, but don’t use this regularly for handwashing as it can be drying. Sal Suds is too good at grabbing oils.)
Sal Suds diluted in a squirt bottle: This is how I make up a big sudsy sinkful of washing up water. In an empty Sal Suds quart bottle (or any quart bottle), add ½ c. (120 mL) Sal Suds with water to the top. This helps me not to use more Sal Suds than I need.
All-Purpose Spray with Castile or Sal Suds: When I have big, bulky things to wash, this is my go-to. It’s 2 Tbsp. (30 mL) Castile or 2 tsp. (10 mL) Sal Suds in 2 c. (480 mL) water.
Undiluted Sal Suds or Castile: Sometimes when I haven’t diluted the product, for whatever reason, I use the cleaners straight. A couple drops of Sal Suds, or a small squirt of Castile does the job.
Dr. Bronner’s Castile Bar Soap: I really like this option. Set bar soap in a sturdy dish. Swipe your wet dish brush over the bar and start scrubbing.
Dispensing dish wand: These handy devices dispense solution as you wash. Dilute 1 part Castile Soap to 5 parts water, or 1 part Sal Suds to 10 parts water.
After you’ve utilized your method of choice, rinse dishes well. Dry dishes with a towel for the best shine and to prevent water spots.
