Aaaaand the dreaded merge feature on iOS Safari has disappeared my 300 odd tabs. Coincidentally, yesterday I was chatting about how when past you does something that future you pats yourself on the back for. Well, I found that I had somehow bookmarked a lot of the same tabs almost 12 months ago.

Go past me! The other tabs… Oh well. I’m awful at having too many open and it’s bit me the arse more than once.

Aim for today is to leave the dwelling and venture out into this uninviting weather.

Q: What dishwashing liquid does everyone use? I’m pretty sure I’ve been a Morning Fresh faithful forever, but lately I’ve just found that no matter how soapy, I’m still find grease on some cookware.

Edit: Oops I just checked. Looks like Palmolive. Maybe I do have to return to MF.

The Aldi stuff (Tandil I think) does a good job.

To really get rid of grease, I usually wipe cookware down with paper towels before popping into the sink. Rarely have issues.

All hail Tandil! Big bottle and decent price and actually works well.

Usually do wipe the grease, but these are just stray drops… It’s just odd knowing how particular I am with washing dishes.

Organic choice. Various flavours. Use that laundry liquid too. Earthchoice is good for floors etc, but their dish liquid is terrible for some reason.

For a sink or for a dishwasher?

I use Morning Fresh for my sink washed dishes.

[–] Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Sink. I just checked and it’s Palmolive. I think that I have to go back to Morning Fresh.

[–] dumblederp@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

You can almost always get it on sale. If it's not currently it'll be soon enough. I thought I was being smart and buying a big jug of it for refills. The big jug was more expensive than the regular sale prices.

we get the giant dawn thingies from USA foods ('cos we also use it in homemade cleaning supplies) and use a scrub daddy dispenser 'cos His Lordship has portion issues. Lasts us forever

Morning fresh.

I use Morning Fresh Ultimate but I think I like Fairy better after switching recently.

The tall bottle of lemon scented Earths Choice because it’s cheap

Morning fresh. And I buy the different smells, because variety and dishwashing is drudgery. The different morning fresh varieties all seem to work the same. I tried Palmolive once and thought it was rubbish. Also didn’t like the smell.
