I remember a jingle for Ivory Soap as a dish soap in the mid 1950s. It went something like: "Keep Ivory Soap at the kitchen sink, a fingertip away...Gentle Ivory helps to keep hands smooth a hundred times a day." And the tag line was: "And the Ivory large bar separates into two cakes. A lot more soap for your money." (So it is possible for the same bar of Ivory could be split in half, with one part used to wash the dishes and the other part used to bathe baby.)
I wash dishes with a bar of soap. Still works fine, especially with the water softener this rented house has, but also worked fairly well with the naturally soft water back in New York City. And it's much cheaper than liquid detergent, and if you're not washing a whole sinkful, just as fast.
@Justin naaz Of soap? Usually Ivory, but I'm not picky. It's mashed-together bits of whatever's left from the bathroom. If I want the strongest grease-cutter, then Kirk's all-coconut. Or do you mean brand of water softener? It's a PortaSoft.
See here! This is a prime example of my previous comment! Dude you cannot put bar soap on dishes then eat off the dishes. Soap is not the same as it was 5 thousand years ago when you were a kid 😭😭😭
@@goodmaro the added chemicals. Sodium Loreth sulfate to pick one chemical for you... There are many others i can pick out as well... Yet it is the psychology of seeing someone wash dishes with a bar of soap that is the problem, because someone who doesnt ask questions will simply pick up any bar of soap and wash dishes with. Conversely, people who think they can wash with all soaps, will put other chemicals on themselves in the shower, like taking a bath in clothing detergent. It cuts both ways
@@whitealliance9540 There is not, and never has been, any sodium laureth sulfate in a bar of Ivory soap. And even if there were, it wouldn't make it any worse for washing dishes!
Guess I'm still in the Liquid soap phase ..Reading these comments , I had no idea that you could use bath soap on dishes ..Yet , when I ran out of bath soap I used dish washing liquid..lol
When I was a kid Ivory soap didn't break me out. When I was around nineteen years old I started getting itchy and by evening I'd have a rash after using Ivory soap. Thinking the company may have changed the formula back then. I avoid Ivory soap to this day.
@@elizabethshields1719 Actually they did make it stronger around 1950. During the war, supplies of coconut oil were cut off, so Ivory and other soaps were weakened, which had the side effect of making them milder. ivory kept that formula a few years after the war until they decided users wanted the suds back, so they put that amount of coconut soap back in. So if you're about 90 years old, that could've been it. Otherwise, it's probably because your skin changed when you were 19.
I'm pretty sure it was Ivory that would come get the grease that was pored off the cooked beef at Taco Bell when I was a kid it the 1980's. And that's why it floats... and it stinks like soap made from animal. I lived in Singapore when I was an even younger kid, and chicken soap was everywhere
It was the twin cake, made to be split in half, so the fictitious lady probably didn't use the same half of the fictitious soap on the fictitious baby and the fictitious dishes. But plot twist: The baby was bathed in the kitchen sink!

So pure , it floats.
Stopped using liquids long ago. Just soap bars. Nothing is better than good old stuff

@@whitealliance9540 What specifically do you think has changed about it?

That's Augusta Dabney, God rest her soul, as the woman in this old commercial.
I hate that I read this as dababy

Interestingly enough it is the only bar soap that I am highly allergic to.

@@goodmaro wait didnt you just ask me how has the soap changed? Re read your own comment here! Lmao did you forget your own words?
@@whitealliance9540 You tell me the relevant way in which Ivory soap has changed that would make it bad to wash dishes with. I don't see any.
