People like to clean with dish soap, but here are 6+ things you should for sure avoid

Some beauty websites suggest washing the face with dish soap to combat oily skin and acne. This is not a good idea. Dish soap is formulated to wash dishes, not faces. Dish soap will deplete all the natural oils from your skin, leaving your face looking dry, dull and possibly scaly.

Never wash a moka pot with dish soap. Dump the espresso pot and wash it with hot water after every use. Dish soap will remove the oily layer on the inside of the pot. Most espresso drinkers argue that this oily layer is what gives the coffee its flavor.

Don’t use dish soap to wash your car. It’s an abrasive soap with a drying effect, so it’s not gentle on tires or a car’s wax coating. According to Meineke Car Care Centers, dish soap speeds up the oxidation process and makes a car look dull. Instead, wash your car with a car soap that is gentle on all parts of the vehicle.

While some water and dish soap may get out of a stain when it comes to cotton, avoid using dish soap on anything that needs to be dry cleaned. Better to leave it to the professionals!

Combining dish soap with harsh ingredients like bleach or ammonia can be dangerous. Safety is the number one priority after all. Leave the combination work up to the chemists, and keep dish soap to dishes!
