One teaspoon is all it takes

No Tracers, many are used to judging how well a dish soap works by the amount of suds it produces, so less foam can feel unfamiliar at first.

Rustic Strength's soap doesn't create ample, long-lasting suds. This is intentional and doesn't indicate reduced cleaning power.

Natural soaps work by breaking down grease and lifting it from the surface so it can be rinsed away, rather than surrounding it in bubbles.

In some cases, excessive suds can actually cling to grease rather than rinse it clean.

Using more soap than recommended won't increase cleaning effectiveness and can actually make rinsing take longer.

At first, the most significant adjustment for anyone switching to natural dish soap is visual rather than functional.

With fewer suds, it can feel like the soap isn't working, even though it is. 

The best way to judge performance is by how the dishes look, feel, and rinse—clean, residue-free, and odor-free. 

You should give Rustic Strength's dish soap a try.

Bring your own container to refill your dish soap at the Waddell Farmers Market every Sunday, October through April, or anytime at mynotrace.com
