When you are faced with a tough mess in the kitchen (in my case, those stray Ramen noodles that stick to the bottom of the pot), you need more than Palmolive - you need ULTRA Palmolive. It comes in a variety of scents, but I recommend sticking with the original green stuff. After conducting a double blind study in my apartment, I concluded that washing the dishes while blindfolded is a stupid idea.

The original concentrated form was passable, but it was somewhat uneconomical. I'm pleased to report that the same great formula has now been ULTRA concentrated, making this dishwashing soap much more economical. You can take all the money you save with the new ULTRA concentrated formula that is difficult to rinse cleanly out of glasses and spend it on some medicine for yourself after you ingest some of its residue and get a stomach ache.

The pull-up lid is very easy to use and contains small ridges to more effectively trap excess soap, giving you that nice gunky build-up when you don't clean the lid regularly. Some dishwashing soap bottles require you to wait up to three weeks for gunky build-up, but not Palmolive.

You really can't go wrong with this product. If you (A) have dishes and (B) clean them, this Palm is for you. You can keep your regular Palmolive, but when you get tired of amateur hour in the kitchen, step up to ULTRA Palmolive and see the difference.

Now, I like Palmolive Dish Detergent. I don't know why, but it is one of the few detergents that does NOT cause a rash on my hands. However, I give it a two because I like the detergent, but I hate the new lids!! I'm filling up a bag of the broken lids. The lid that is in the picture is the good one, but the lid that is in the stores is awful. Maybe I will save the lids from my old bottles and see if they fit the newly designed bottle. I reuse the bottles so I still have some old lids. If Palmolive must have a new bottle design and lid then they need to start over.

Was hoping the new cap was just a fluke..I really don't like it. I'm not having any luck getting used to it after a month or so, and just read a ariticle in Consumer's Report May 2011 which rated dish liquids.
AJax came in with the highest rating and was also the most economical. It got their CR Best Buy rating. The cost per oz is .06 compared to .13 for Palmolive. I'm about to go shopping and will pick up the Ajax and give it a try. I see the same company makes them both so they aren't losing my business, but it will cut into their profit margins! Sometimes it's better not to take cost cutting steps when it makes your product look cheaper! If I'm going for value I want to see it on MY balance sheet!!

A good old dish detergent. It smells good, and it gets dishes very clean with just a little amount. Unfortunately, the "newer" environmentally friendly cleaners are absolutely awful. When it comes to clean dishes, I have to have more power!
