Hello everyone, I'm a big fan of irecommend!

I'm a regular customer at Faberlic, and I've even registered as a consultant to get a discount. I've found that a lot of their products are better and more cost-effective than what you'd find in stores - like their 'for home' series, for example. I don't buy everything from there, but there are some staples that I always come back to.

One of those is their dish soap. They've got a huge range, so I'll be sharing my thoughts on each one as I try them out. Right now, I'm running low on the 'Eucalyptus and Watermelon' scent.

The bottle is a good size - 500ml - and it's really comfortable to hold. It doesn't have a dispenser, but that's not a problem for me since I'm used to it.

The main difference between this and what you'd find in stores is that it's concentrated. You can dilute it with water and then pour it into a dispenser bottle - the ratio is 1:1 to 1:4. Some people like to use it that way to save money, but I'm a bit of a messy cook, so I just use it straight up. It's actually recommended by the manufacturer, too.

It's also supposed to be used for soaking kitchenware, but I'm not really sure how that works. I think you're supposed to mix 20ml of the product with half a liter of water and leave it for an hour. That sounds like a lot of work, to be honest. But what I do do is just pour some of the product into a pan or pot, add a bit of water, and then rinse it out afterwards. It makes cleaning up a lot easier, and it helps prevent food from sticking to the pots and pans.

I was impressed to see that this product contains an antibacterial agent, which is vital for our health. And the best part? It's completely safe, even for baby bottles and pacifiers.

Here's what the official website has to say:
This special formula gel is amazing at removing all sorts of food residue. It's got a powerful antibacterial agent that gives you a hygienic clean and protects your dishes and sponges from unwanted leftovers. It's particularly recommended for areas with unstable tap water quality and for washing dishes when you're feeling under the weather. The good news is that it's free from triclosan, parabens, and isothiazolinones.
But what exactly does this stuff consist of? Let's take a closer look at the ingredients.

Ingredients:
Water (more than 30%), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (5-15%), and less than 5% of: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Beta-Inositol, NPAV, Antibacterial Agent, Fragrance, Salt, Preservative, and Food Color.
Yeah, it's a bit confusing, but the official website breaks down the ingredients in a way that makes sense.

OPEN INGREDIENTS:

MULTI-COMPLEX OF BIODEGRADABLE SURFACTANTS
Derived from plant-based components, it effectively wets surfaces, easily removes grease and other stains, and rinses off completely from dishes.
Salt
Helps maintain a comfortable consistency.
Antibacterial Agent
(Undecylenic Acid Derivative) Inhibits the growth of unwanted microorganisms (bacteria and fungi), recommended for cosmetics, and provides a prolonged antibacterial effect.
Fragrance Composition "Clean Label"
(Fragrance) Gives a refreshing eucalyptus scent with notes of ripe watermelon.
Biodegradable Preservative
This product prevents the development of harmful microorganisms in the medium during its shelf life.
Food coloring
gives the gel a pleasant color.
The product has a normal consistency, gel-like, not liquid, not too thick. It's almost transparent with a greenish tint.
It quickly absorbs into a damp sponge. It releases a pleasant, but very light scent reminiscent of eucalyptus, but with a slightly sweet, melon-like tone. I'd even say watermelon rind, it's more botanical.

It foams less than store-bought gels, but it still foams.
xa0
If it seems like there's not enough foam, I just add a bit of water and squish the sponge.
xa0
The foam is light, not high, scented. I apply it to a plate, set the sponge aside, and rinse with water. It comes off really quickly, along with the food residue. This way, I use less of the product and add it to the sponge less often. But, I guess that's how everyone does it.
xa0
It perfectly cleans any dish, whether it's a plate or a pan. If something's really greasy, I soak it, and it's a breeze.

I'm absolutely satisfied with the concentrated gel dish soap 2 in 1 Faberlic Home 'Cleanliness and Protection' Eucalyptus and Watermelon! It's almost gone, and I'm already deciding which one to order next time.
