    oh please!!! all these people acting like it's something too harsh for your hands... what the fahk do YOU wash dishes with????? YOUR FAHKING HANDS!!! your hands are in the dishwater for quite a while. a lot of dishwashing detergents advertise how gentle their products are for your hands. some even include lotion. some are recommended for washing heavy oil off baby ducks!!!!!!

    i use dawn dishwashing foam to wash my hands with. only problem is you have to try to get just half a pump or it takes too long to rinse your hands if you have soft water. 1 bottle of it lasts forevahhh.

    I guess if it's an emergency and you can't get handsoap at the moment. But it really dries out your skin

    Yep, I add a little water to it as it can be a little thicker.

    Yes. Actually liquid dish detergent is chemically similar to liquid soap: the main difference is in the perfume used.
