I've been using them for several months now and they work great for normal dirt. The real test will be this summer when Farmer gets really grimy. I got the "Premium" strength for those clothing.

Also, I dilute fruit juice by adding extra water (pour 2/3 or 3/4 cup of juice in a glass, add cold water to the top and stir briefly). Less sweet, still a great taste, and it stretches those dollars. I’ve been doing this for decades. You can also just add extra cold water to a pitcher of juice.

Foaming hand wash is a great no mess option for those who have little kids. <br /><br />I agree that a bar of soap does last much longer than other options and is cheaper. We've been using a bar of soap in our bathroom but foaming hand washing in the kitchen for ease.Wendy Gowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079131126381265901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-15425029755097945582021-05-07T01:25:20.729+10:002021-05-07T01:25:20.729+10:00Not to be contrary here (OK, I'm being contrar...Not to be contrary here (OK, I'm being contrary!), whenever someone on a blog or bulletin board mentions diluting products, I always wonder why go to all the trouble? JUST USE LESS! Which is what I've always done, because I'm lazy! (I agree that the recommended amounts usually are too generous). Also, what is the big deal with pump soap? During the pandemic, with so much hand washing, I've really noticed how much longer bar soap lasts compared to pump. Also, I might be the only one here that really dislikes foaming hand wash. You get so little soap I've always wondered if I was really getting my hands clean. OK, I'll go back to being nice now.mikemaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06569666073239903588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7122163157306498894.post-30855039301849078912021-05-06T04:15:15.771+10:002021-05-06T04:15:15.771+10:00I always dilute my dish soap.
