Dish soap in gardening?

Hi! Here's the Google books search for dish soap:https://www.google.com/search?q=dish+soap&biw=360&bih=615&tbm=bks&ei=tC-qVPuDKI_ZoASS7oHYAQ&start=0&sa=N&dpr=3

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)[reply]

Also http://m.state-journal.com/spectrum/2015/01/03/cold-weather-gardening-kale a small reference. Bananasoldier (talk) 03:34, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notable brands

I think notable brands needs its own section. Is it considered biased to mention some brands but not others? Maybe there should be a list? Please discuss! Thanks! Bananasoldier (talk) 06:40, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There is a series of dishwashing market research summaries by country (looks like about 60 or 70 countries) on the Euromonitor International website. Possibly this information could be best summarized and presented in a table? It is current as of 2014, and has information on dishwasher detergent vs. hand dishwashing liquids. While using this info may cause some maintenance issues, it could be an interesting global perspective. I'm willing to tackle it if others think it could be useful. — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 03:52, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oil spill birds reference

It might have another article on the oil thing as well as other articles on soap Bananasoldier (talk) 14:56, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 5 January 2015

Dishwashing liquid → Dishwashing detergent – "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. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:57, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I should - dishwashing liquid is a type of detergent. Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 06:13, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Guys? I think we should help the Detergent article too. It lacks history as well. Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 06:15, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
"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).

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)[reply]
"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)[reply]

Source for triclosan,something used in antibacterial dish soap?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/04/07/AR2010040704621.html Bananasoldier (talk) 04:32, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Other links that refer to chemicals in the dishwashing detergent:

I believe there are more articles out there on accidental ingestion of detergent packets.

On a side note, I ran across articles on people using soap as a lubricant to place a bridge. I also ran across other articles that used dish soap to remove stuck people and animals. I didn't record the link because I thought they might be trivia. Should I retrieve them? Bananasoldier (talk) 06:01, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Section on common dishwashing detergent ingredients?

What do you think? Would it be unnecessary/redundant/difficult to put together or a possible addition? I haven't looked into any sources on this. Thanks, Bananasoldier (talk) 05:28, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Souces for history section

Help me use these references!

I've proudly clicked through 72 pages [EDIT: I've reached the end at page 87!! :)] of "dish soap" on Google News Archive! Please help me use all these references and cross each one out like this when you read it and use it or decide it's not a worthy reference. Also use the references I've given above this section. Thanks in advance! Bananasoldier (talk) 02:10, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]



[[User:Bananasoldier has done great work finding all the above refs and must be the most familiar of any editors with their contents having done so. There are several 'citations required tags' in the article as is. Does he know if any of the refs he has found might help? It would take as much effort again for others to duplicate his learning.SovalValtos (talk) 22:25, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @SovalValtos:! Are these the citation needed sentences you're referring to?
  • "Dawn, which is the leading brand in the United States,[citation needed] and Joy." Found by another editor!
  • "Some brands offer differentiating features, such as Dawn Hand Renewal with Olay Beauty[12][unreliable source?]"
  • "Ajax Triple Action, which offers cleaning, antibacterial properties, and can be used as a hand soap.[13][unreliable source?]"
These I haven't found citations to because I've only searched "dish soap". I am very sure that the links above won't cover them. Perhaps a search like "bestselling dish soaps"/"bestselling dishwashing detergents" will yield results. Maybe searching for "Dawn leading brand" or something more specific. Some of these sentences we might just throw out because they sound a little like advertising. Bananasoldier (talk) 22:34, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Saving unreferenced part

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 out mouth with soap|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) We might be able to grab some refs from Washing out mouth with soap. Bananasoldier (talk) 07:02, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

DYK Possibility?

Before TAFI, prose size was 1845. Currently we're at 6517 7902 7939. To get DYK we'd need to be at 9225 (= 1845 x 5). Just letting everyone know. Thanks, Bananasoldier (talk) 18:42, 10 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
