I use the coconut home bar to clean my dishes and remove stains on clothing and shoes. At first, I was skeptical. I have tried other natural dish soaps and honestly did not love them. Whether you are feeling a little curious or maybe you are a little skeptical about all natural home products, I say give this a try! I cannot recommend it enough. You can use it with a sponge, or the dish brush sold on the website (the dish brush is fantastic, very nice quality and I highly recommend that as well). It lathers very well and has cut through the grease on even my most greasy dishes. If you are concerned about it having a coconut smell, because I realize some people may not like that, it has zero coconut smell. Give this a try! You won't be disappointed! A true gem of a product!
