      Yes but I think there is a miscommunication here.

      I’m not talking about detergent/dishwashing liquid - I’m talking about liquid dish soap which I can purchase locally for about $3 to the litre and is a different thing.

      Detergent/dishwashing liquid is definitely much more expensive and probably would not be great for washing hands.

      Bar soap is definitely still cheaper though overall, you are correct.

          Ah I seem to recall a video he did about dishwashers and why the pods are bad etc. I think he may have briefly touched on making your own detergent using bar soap and borax as well as the manufacturer recommendation to put some detergent in the bottom in addition to behind the spring loaded door.

            He has a new video now with his new formula that’s part of ecogeek. Once I’m in the position to have a dishwasher again, I’m be going that route.

              Oh neat, I’ll have to go watch the new one when I have a chance. I recall it working quite well and being absurdly cheap - I can’t recall if he did a cost analysis. Maybe I’ll watch the old one again and then the new one haha.
