polski), also known as dish soap or dish detergent, is a detergent used to assist in dishwashing. It is usually a highly-foaming mixture of surfactants with low skin irritation, and is primarily used for hand washing of glasses, plates, cutlery, and cooking utensils in a sink or bowl.
Etymology
The term "dishwashing liquid" is a compound word that combines "dishwashing", the process of cleaning dishes, and "liquid", a substance that flows freely. The term "dish soap" and "dish detergent" are used interchangeably, with "soap" and "detergent" both referring to cleaning substances.
Composition
Dishwashing liquid contains a mixture of surfactants, which are the active cleaning ingredients. Other ingredients can include solvents, hydrotropes, enzymes, and preservatives. The exact composition varies by brand and product, but all dishwashing liquids are designed to be mild on skin while effectively removing food, grease, and other residues from dishes.
Usage
Dishwashing liquid is typically applied to a sponge or dishcloth, which is then used to scrub dishes. The surfactants in the liquid break down the grease and food particles, allowing them to be washed away with water. Dishwashing liquid can also be used for other cleaning tasks, such as washing windows or removing stains from clothing.
