Direct foam detergent

What do they do to this stuff? I tried refilling the dispenser with regular dish soap; it works for a bit and then clogs up. Cutting with water doesn’t seem to help.

Detergent isn’t the same as dish soap.

Well, let’s see…

The Direct Foam prodcut: “D**n contains biodegradable anionic and nonionic surfactants and solvents.”
And the dishwashing liquid (ah! It doesn’t say ‘soap’!) “J*y contains biodegradable anionic and nonionic surfactants and no phosphates.”

I gave yo what I had. Soap clogs up easily with build up that a detergent doesn’t do as easily.

Thanks, my bad for posting “soap” when they were both detergents.

How much did you dilute the dish detergent? I got a foamer container from Pampered Chef and the ratio is about one part soap to 8 - 10 parts water. (that’s for regular detergent, the super concentrated type must need even more water)

I have also been refilling my Dawn foamy soap dispenser with diluted Palmolive and haven’t had it clog yet. the directions say not to use anything with lotions in the ingredients.

Thanks, I only diluted 50/50. :slight_smile:
