      Fabric softener isn’t soap tho, it’s like the opposite, a bunch of greasy conditioners and relaxants and fragrances designed to cling to your clothes even after rinsing.

    The dishes have never been softer! Granted, that’s a whole 'nother problem, but it’s still worth mentioning.

      A lot of people pre wash their dishes, and a lot of older dishwashers need some degree of pre washing, though modern ones shouldn’t and it’s more water efficient to run a full load in the dishwasher than to do it by hand. Doing both is the worst of both worlds.

      I can’t wait to have a dishwasher again.

      Seriously. It’s something about shampoo, hair conditioner, laundry detergent and laundry conditioner especially. The product type is printed as small as the dosage on med bottles.

        I went without shampoo for two months because of this. Not my preferred means of hair care. I thought I was buying a twopack of shampoo off of Amazon. I actually bought a combined shampoo+conditioner package. The brand labeling was so prominent I didn’t even notice. So instead of applying shampoo+conditioner, I was doing conditioner+a different conditioner. And it wasn’t soo bad that it was immediately obvious. But yeah, I’ve fallen victim to this.

    Convo with my wife:

    “There’s something wrong with the lotion in the shower. It’s burning my skin like Nair or something.”

    “??? What lotion?”

    “The big bottle that says goat milk on it or whatever.”

    “Honey, that is body wash.”

        Soap is caustic no matter how much goat milk and whatever bullshit they put in it here, and I have very sensitive skin. Go ahead and leave some on your body for a few hours without rinsing and report back when you see for yourself.
