Dishwashing liquid

Dishwashing liquid, also known as dishwashing soap, dish detergent, or dish soap, is a type of detergent used in dishwashing. It is usually a foamy mixture of surfactants with low skin irritation that consumers use primarily for washing glasses, plates, cutlery, and cooking utensils. Dishwashing liquid can be used for other purposes, like creating bubbles, washing clothes, and cleaning wildlife affected by oil spills.

Detergent for dishwashers is also available in non-liquid forms, such as cartridges, gels, packs, powder, and tablets.
