Usefulness of per-brand market shares

[edit]

There's a whole section dedicated to the detailed breakdown of market share percentages in each country per brand. I don't see the usefulness of this. Unless you're a dishwashing soap investor, this info is completely uninteresting, useless, and clutters the article. Not to mention it's very unencyclopedic. I vote for removing the section entirely, or at least listing the known brands without the percentage breakdowns. Ericobnn (talk) 03:01, 20 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Dish soap in gardening?

[edit]

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]

Notable brands

[edit]

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]
Update: First, I decided to use prose instead of a table. Is it too late for a DYK?
I also elected to cite the parent page for Euromonitor International's dishwashing market reports instead of the 80 direct links to each country's summary page. Sorry I just didn't have time to cite each page individually, but links are on the right side of the page I did cite.

Cheers! — Grand'mere Eugene (talk) 05:32, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 5 January 2015

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. No consensus on the proposals and concerns raised that liquid and detergent are different things. Number 57 17:15, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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). Softlavender (talk) 01:30, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
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]
  • I would Oppose to move the article actually. It is already only mentioning Dishwashing Liquid and not anything else. Qwertyxp2000 (talk) 04:05, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose – the article's primary focus is specifically upon dishwashing liquid at this time, and has been significantly expanded very recently. I struck my initial comment above. NORTH AMERICA1000 05:12, 14 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support: Even if it doesn't cover the increasingly common non-liquid dishwashing products, it obviously should. Keeping the article at a misleading name will only impede improving the article (people will actively resist additions that are not about liquid detergent), and a reductio ad absurdum of the intent of our naming policies. 10:36, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
  • Oppose - the article covers dishwashing liquid (which in UK English is called "washing-up liquid" as mentioned in the article). It does not cover powder or other forms of detergent used for dish washing.  — Amakuru (talk) 16:15, 22 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

New article - Dishwasher detergent

[edit]

I just created Dishwasher detergent. I understand and agree that there should be two separate articles for the product for cleaning dishes by hand versus the ones used inside a machine.

@Softlavender: - thank you especially for articulating this. Blue Rasberry (talk) 22:04, 21 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Source for triclosan,something used in antibacterial dish soap?

[edit]

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?

[edit]

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

[edit]

Help me use these references!

[edit]

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]

Soap in punishment

[edit]

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)[reply]

We might be able to grab some refs from Washing out mouth with soap.

DYK Possibility?

[edit]

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]

New article - Phosphates in detergent

[edit]

I just created phosphates in detergent. On that article's talk page I described how I moved content about "phosphates in detergent" from these articles to there.

I put a brief summary of the concept here and am directing readers there for a fuller presentation. I did this because the concept was forked by being independently developed in all these articles, when instead they should all point to one central article.

Skin sensitivity, effect of dish soap on different surfaces, figures and captions

[edit]

Some areas that I want to improve on this article include adding some ideas to “Common ingredients” and “Primary uses”, changing the images and captions. Regarding adding ideas to “Common ingredients”, I’m planning to add information on ingredients in dishwashing liquid that might help lessen the effect of skin sensitivity. For “Primary uses”, adding onto the part of dishwashing liquid affecting surfaces, I want to add the effect of dishwashing liquid on different surfaces. Regarding changing the images and captions, I’m planning to replace some images that have irrelevant background content and fixing captions and pictures so that the captions are as precise as possible, and pictures and captions fit each other well.

Handwashing vs. machine dishwashing

[edit]

This atrticle often confuses between detergents for handwashing and machine dishwashing, uses terms interchangeably (that I'd argue aren't interchangeable). It isn't confusing only from informational, but also from stylistic standpoint. I suggest keeping information about detergents for machine dishwashing to minimum (for introduction, comparison or safety). Other information should be moved to dedicated article Dishwasher detergent 46.34.246.110 (talk) 08:35, 29 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
