How to use a Tangie dish washing bar

If you’ve never used a dishwashing bar before, you might be wondering what all the fuss is about. What are the benefits of using a dishwashing bar over liquid dish soap, and how do you use one properly? In this blog post, we’ll answer all those questions and more. Keep reading to learn about how easy it is to use a natural dish soap bar. 

Clean dishes need ingredients to cut through grease and oil and be able to pick up the germs, washing them all away.  

Tangie dish soap bar uses salt as that grease fighting ingredient. Salt is tough! When salt meets water, it creates a saline solution that can break down protein-based messes making it a fantastic ingredient for a powerful zero-waste dish washing soap. 

How to use this dish washing soap bar: 

Using a dishwashing bar is like using liquid dish soap but instead of picking up a bottle and squirting the liquid onto dishes or a scrubber, you pick up a bar and rub it onto your cleaning tool of choice. 

You can use a cloth, scrubber, or sponge. The key is making sure it is wet first, that helps get the soap activated. Using a cloth extends the life of the bar a bit, as opposed to a firm bristle scrub brush, since the cloth isn’t scratching away at the bar. 

FOR DISH CLOTH: Place the bar in one hand and rub it directly onto a wet cloth. 

FOR SPONGE & SCRUBBER: Swirl the sponge or scrubber directly onto the bar.  

Generally, a lather will not appear until you start washing the dish.  
Wash your entire dish, rinse & smile.  

Tools for the job: 

Scrub Brush –  

Using a soft bristle brush head like the Redecker brush head (dark color one) results in quicker lather than using a stiff bristle brush. 

Soap Dish –  

Using a soap dish that will hold the bar in on two sides, you can then easily swirl your brush head directly on the top of the dish bar without having to hold the dish bar in your hand.  

Some pro tips: 

Beyond the sink: 

You can also use a dishwashing bar for cleaning other things around the house, like sinks and countertops. Simply apply the dish soap to your dish cloth like you were going to wash dishes, and clean any surface then wipe the soap away with a damp cloth and using a dry cloth to remove any streaks, if there are any. Easy peazy! 

When you need extra power for cleaning walls, shoes, or removing stains from clothes, use the power of the dish washing bar. Either rub the bar directly on the dirty area or work up some lather on your scrubber or dish cloth and scrub, then rinse or launder as usual.   

Storing a dish soap bar: 

Store your dishwashing bar in a cool, dry place when not in use. This will help it last longer. Do not leave it sitting in water.

BENEFITS OF USING DISHWASHING BARS VS LIQUID DISH SOAP  

Why use a dish soap bar instead of liquid dish soap? There are quite a few benefits:  

– Dishwashing bars won’t spill or leak making them ideal for going on camping trips or other travel adventures where space is limited, or TSA approval is involved. 

– A natural dish soap bar is beneficial for people with allergies or sensitive skin because they don’t contain any fragrances or dyes like most brands.   

– A dishwashing bar leaves hands feeling less dry and irritated than most liquid dish detergents. If you have sensitive skin, this could be a game changer!   ‘
