No Tox Life DISH BLOCK - Free of Dyes and Fragrance - Zero Waste Solid Dish Soap

I wanted to love this bar so bad when I first purchased it. It took a while to get the hang of using it at first but I found it to be so much easier to use a dish cloth rather than a scrub brush. I simply wet my dishcloth picked up the bar of soap and massaged it. It immediately created a lot suds that cleaned my dishes quickly and effectively, I do dishes three times a day so I let my dishes stack up and I only have to re lather about two times. I don’t like wasting water so I don’t fill my sink up instead I do a quick spray with my hose sprayer to wet the dishes and then rub them clean w the soapy cloth. I did try to do a small batch mixed with water as an option as well but I felt that the soap components separated within a couple of minutes and left my hands feeling greasy and my dishes as well so that was a hard no for me. I’ve been using the bar for 10 days now and it’s almost gone. I am WFH at the moment and my kids have been distance learning as well so as a huge family of 6 this dish block did get overworked in my opinion but I really wished the price per bar wouldn’t be an issue. I still have a few more days of use I assume so hopefully it can at least make it to three weeks of use. I did have days in which I had spots on my glass cups so I started drying my dishes immediately by hand and putting them away to avoid that but I also think that I probably didn’t reapply soap to my cloth because I was trying not to relather my cloth just for a glass cup that day and it goes back to what I assumed was the soap components separating. In the future when I reorder this product I will definitely go with the larger size block because the 6 oz bar will probably not last me for more than two weeks by the way it’s looking. Oh and as for the scent it has a very mild scent almost like the old school bar soaps but it’s more prominent when in use after you can’t even smell it on the dishes but I can smell it on my hands and they also feel moisturized after I’m done w dishes. I suffer from contact dermatitis and haven’t had an outbreak since using this product so that says a lot about it’s ingredients so I will definitely keep this bar soap on the top of my next purchase list after I go through the dish soaps I have now.

Love the No Tox Dish Block! Of course, there are pros and cons to all products but the pros definitely outweigh the cons. I have been using it for about a week and am satisfied to keep using it. Pros are: good for the environment, smells clean like bar soap, lathers quite well with just a tiny amount, and it seems to rinse well. Cons so far: doesn't do so well with greasy stuff like pans and had to break out the liquid degreaser. It is a little messy like bar soap is and not sure about soap build-up yet in the sink but I think I can sacrifice a little to not use harsh chemicals! It's a winner in my book!edit: So, after using this product for over a month now, not sure if I want to continue. It just is not great on greasy stuff. I also don't like the build-up in the sink either now that I've been using it. It is a messy bar on your sink...I do still like that it has no toxic chemicals. I love it for my cutting board for sure! I feel the residue is great protection on the wood and degreasers strip the wood cutting boards. I also like washing vegetables with it rather than my liguid degreaser. I just wish it wasn't so messy overall! Of course the people that came up with this will say 'the best stuff ever' for you but they can use as much as they want with unlimited supply! At 10 bucks a bar in this day and time, it's pricey for the working poor!

I really like this product, and I truly believe it’s the best option out there. So far, my bar has lasted almost three months, and I estimate it’ll probably go for at least another month before I need to reorder. I live alone, but I also don’t have a dishwasher, and I cook a lot. I’d say I wash more dishes than your average American.This works best as directed: rinse your dishes, load up a sponge or brush with suds. Turn water off while scrubbing dishes: your suds last much longer that way.It feels great to be tox-, waste-, and plastic-free.Some possibilities for improvement:- Leaves a faint film on certain surfaces when they air dry after washing. Always shows up on glassware, which needs to be dried and polished right away when using this soap.- Rinse thoroughly with hot water. Sometimes the soap scent clings to dishes, which has put me off my food.- Would love a scented option. I realize that no perfumes or crap is a huge part of the appeal of this product. But scents can be done naturally, and this would be great in a lavender or citrus.

I have been using this product for two weeks so far, and it is really good. It removes all grease from pans, which is amazing. It has no smell. Easy to use with a small brush.
