Today, as an old guy, I was cleaning our glass top stove. The Weiman cleaner is in the cupboard above the stove. I squirted a bunch on the dirty rings and then realized its normally white not blue paste.
Turns out I grabbed the Cascade Complete dishwasher liquid. Duh.
I started to wipe it and realized it was pulling off the baked on food better than the stove cleaning product.
Best it has looked in 5 years.
P.s. made sure to fully rinse all of it off so no residue remained.
i don’t remember which soap or cleaning podcast that i was listening to that said that out of the common household cleaners dishwasher liquid is one that has the highest percentage surfactant per gram or whatever. neat testimonial.
Along with that, dishwasher detergent is very concentrated, and useful for cleaning anything really greasy, or when you need it to not foam up (bottles/jars).
I would presume that powdered dishwasher detergent is as concentrated as you can get?
Its really true wasteful really that most household cleaning products is mostly water. Instead you could buy a years worth in concentrated form and dilute with tap water instead of ship around shit tons of water adding to the carbon footprint.
I have narrowed down my cleaning repertoire to strong hand dishing soap, baking soda, white vinegar, linseed oil soap (for the wooden floor) Depending on the application I just mix the appropriate things
The problem lies in how dangerous some of the chemicals get when you concentrate them past a certain amount. A lot of people would end up getting pretty seriously hurt trying to dilute pure acids or blow something up improperly storing concentrated peroxide. Don’t get me wrong, capitalism is what has led to dish soaps being barely more than water these days, but you can buy the concentrated versions of a lot of stuff and see for yourself how dangerous even having some of them laying around can be.
Huh good shout. I don’t have q dishwasher but might get the liquid for cleaning.

For every product there is an expert who can tell you in great detail about its long history and amazing facts.
The video on producing the pencil is an excellent example of this.
Boring?
If you don’t like to learn how things work, then yes.
Wasn’t the context. Go look up the boring talks podcast number#41. Fascinating stuff.
