Dishwashing Kitchen cleaning

What is more effective for dishwashing — Gel or Bar?

Which of the two cleaning agents scores higher in satisfaction score? Read on!

What does it take to sparkle your dishes?

It is common knowledge that dishes and utensils must be cleaned, rinsed and dried thoroughly to prevent the growth of bacteria & pests and the stink in the sink. However, at Diversey Prosumer, we believe that there’s more to dishwashing than safeguarding health. Dishwashing is also about restoring the beauty of the kitchenware to its original state. And, this is why you need an effective dishwashing detergent in your kitchen.

We ran an informal survey among some restaurateurs, asking them their core requirements when purchasing a dishwashing agent. Here are the usual suspects.

  • Effective cleaning performance
  • Easy and swift cleaning
  • Trustworthy brand
  • Safety and ingredient information
  • Cost-effectiveness
  • Directions for use and disposal

What they also mentioned is that one of their significant challenges is determining whether to use a gel or a bar to clean dishes. Do you think alike?

What do the experts state?

Environmentally conscious experts opine that bar soaps are generally minimally packaged and generate less waste. But when it comes to efficacy, both the gel and the bar are effective at cleaning the dishes.

A microbiologist’s perspective states that a liquid detergent is better for heavily soiled and greasy utensils, as it is formulated specially to cut through the grease, loosen the microbial contaminants and washed them off. Additionally, for the utensils that have come in contact with raw meat, it is preferable to use a liquid detergent, as there is no scope for bacterial build-up near the sink post-cleaning, unlike a bar soap.

Time for comparison

The above data still doesn’t heavily rule the decision in the favour of dishwashing gels. So, we unearthed more information from the people at places, such as restaurants, hotels and commercial facilities. Their years of experience cleaning the dishes using soap bar reveals the following facts:

A] The bar turns mushy due to constant contact with water, becoming soft with time.

B] Bacteria tend to build up on the bar’s surface after the cleaning of dishes, is completed making the sink a breeding ground of pathogens.

C] Frequent usage of a dishwashing bar could make hands dry and rough.

D] Most bars could leave scratches on delicate glassware and cutlery, and hence may not be widely used for dishwashing.

The humble soap bar is no longer a favourite, especially for commercial cleaning. So, how do dishwashing liquids and gels fare in comparison? They overcome the above-listed disadvantages. In comparison to a soap bar, a dishwashing liquid or gel significantly reduces germ exchange between people.

Additionally, a small drop of the liquid or gel usually produces a lot of lather to wash several utensils in one go. Last but not the least, it is comparatively easier to store and take out a dishwashing liquid or gel, as and when required and avoid mess around the sink.
