Talk:Dishwashing liquid

message: There's a whole section dedicated to the detailed breakdown of market share percentages in each country per brand. I don't see the usefulness of this. Unless you're a dishwashing soap investor, this info is completely uninteresting, useless, and clutters the article. Not to mention it's very unencyclopedic. I vote for removing the section entirely, or at least listing the known brands without the percentage breakdowns. Ericobnn (talk) 03:01, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

There's some books that mention dish soap in gardening to protect against pests. I didn't look into it too much but the link's above if anyone interested in researching that. Thanks, Bananasoldier (talk) 06:34, 5 January 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Dishwashing liquid →  – "Liquid" is not the best name because there are non-liquid dishwashing substances, and this article should cover them. "Dishwashing soap" may be an option, but it seems that the industry producing these products calls them "detergents" A change to either "soap" or "detergent" would be an improvement but I am not sure which is best.

replies: text: Guys? I think we should help the Detergent article too. It lacks history as well. Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 06:15, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: "The soap companies often sell both types of products under the same brand or multi-use products for both hand and machine washing". This isn't true. As I mentioned above, one cannot be substituted for the other. Try it some day and you'll find out the hard way. Also as I mentioned above, if something is labeled "dishwashing detergent" it's for the automatic dishwasher, never for hand washing; therefore, we can't put handwashing dish products in an article called "dishwashing detergent". Also as I mentioned above, the products for handwashing are generally soaps (chemically), and the products for machine washing are always detergents (chemically).

replies: text:  Apologies for my assumptions. Confusion on my part. This notes some of the chemical differences between hand and automatic. I don't know why this author calls it "hand dishwashing detergents" though. Best, Bananasoldier (talk) 02:30, 11 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: "I don't know why this author calls it 'hand dishwashing detergents' though." I don't know. A hand dishwashing product is never labeled "dishwashing detergent", although some are occasionally labeled "dish detergent". Softlavender (talk) 02:39, 11 January 2015 (UTC)

===New article - Dishwasher detergent===
I just created Dishwasher detergent. I understand and agree that there should be two separate articles for the product for cleaning dishes by hand versus the ones used inside a machine.
 - thank you especially for articulating this.  Blue Rasberry (talk) 22:04, 21 March 2017 (UTC)

message: Dishwashing liquid has also been administered orally as a substitute for soap as a form of corporal punishment. This is often colloquially referred to as washing the mouth out with soap or another similar phrase. However, this use carries health risks and has declined substantially in recent decades. Dishwashing liquid has also been used as a stain cleaner. These sentences got lost in the edits (probably because they're unreferenced). I'll leave them here just in case somebody's interested in finding refs for them.Bananasoldier (talk) 07:00, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

message: I just created phosphates in detergent. On that article's talk page I described how I moved content about "phosphates in detergent" from these articles to there. 
*Dishwashing liquid
*Dishwasher
*Laundry detergent
*Detergent
I put a brief summary of the concept here and am directing readers there for a fuller presentation. I did this because the concept was forked by being independently developed in all these articles, when instead they should all point to one central article.

message: Some areas that I want to improve on this article include adding some ideas to “Common ingredients” and “Primary uses”, changing the images and captions. Regarding adding ideas to “Common ingredients”, I’m planning to add information on ingredients in dishwashing liquid that might help lessen the effect of skin sensitivity. For “Primary uses”, adding onto the part of dishwashing liquid affecting surfaces, I want to add the effect of dishwashing liquid on different surfaces. Regarding changing the images and captions, I’m planning to replace some images that have irrelevant background content and fixing captions and pictures so that the captions are as precise as possible, and pictures and captions fit each other well.

thread_title:   Skin sensitivity, effect of dish soap on different surfaces, figures and captions 

message: This atrticle often confuses between detergents for handwashing and machine dishwashing, uses terms interchangeably (that I'd argue aren't interchangeable). It isn't confusing only from informational, but also from stylistic standpoint. I suggest keeping information about detergents for machine dishwashing to minimum (for introduction, comparison or safety). Other information should be moved to dedicated article  Dishwasher detergent 46.34.246.110 (talk) 08:35, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
