I use it on anything that might have body oil or grease on it.

So it could be something super obvious, like your kitchen backslash, but it could also be used on yoga mats or kitchen counters.

You can clean wood floors, you can clean stainless steel, you can use it as a

bathroom cleaner. I'm Christine Sirclicette. I'm Rosie Garan, and you're listening to The Wirecutter

Show. Rosie. Hey.

We are going to do our, what I think is becoming an annual sort of spring cleaning episode.

We got to do the spring cleaning episode.

I love it.

It's close to Earth Day.

And really, when I started thinking about what wire cutter recommends for cleaners, as related to the environment, I was really

thinking, like, we actually don't recommend a lot of things on site that are specific, quote, unquote,

green cleaners, like the types of things that you might go to a grocery store aisle and they're sort of like marketed as

better for the environment. We are often using a very, very simple list of cleaners. You will find

things like vinegar and baking soda, which I think people commonly think of as green, but oftentimes

we're using dish soap, which is kind of a little unexpected. Yeah,

I've often, and for a long time wondered about these green clean cleaners, and I've wondered,

is it a scam? What's the deal? And to have that conversation lead to what's essentially a

conversation about the myriad uses of dish soap was kind of

interesting and I want to dig into it.

You know, Wirecutter has a ton of cleaning guides on our site.

I've edited a lot of them and dish soap shows up in almost all of them.

It's kind of wild.
