Does this kill germs like a normal dish soap or hand soap does?

no but if you add Thieves essential oil from Young Living in it like I do- it makes it that way and smells amazing! Order Thieves essential oils at www.youngliving.org/knat2

I use this with about 15 drops of 4 thieves oil from fabulous frannies to make it antibacterial.

This is not antibacterial. But studies seem to be showing that washing things in hot water with good soap. I use this for everything - mopping, cleaning kitchen and baths. It is concentrated and a little bit goes a long way. I sometimes use it to pretreat spots in the laundry. It's just a great all-around soap. Mild enough to was your hands.

This soap is not made to kill bacteria. Coconut oil is a natural antimicrobial that can be used after washing on skin instead of lotion.

No it does not kill germs. Forgive my correction but neither does normal dish soap or hand soap. Soap/detergent with antimicrobial action will almost always have some kind of antimicrobial ingredient such as triclosan or chlorhexadine etc... Some "all natural" ingredients exist with antimicrobial actions. Be forewarned though that there is some good evidence that triclosan has endocrine-disrupting properties and in all actuality it is best to avoid it. In addition, the everyday use of "antibacterial" soaps has led to bacteria that are resistant TO these chemicals. Any healthcare pro, microbiologist etc...worth their salt would recommend using regular soap and warm water. REMOVAL of germs is the best strategy. For surfaces, there's no substitute for good ole bleach diluted to proper strength. All that written, I REALLY like Dr. Bronner's! Use these soaps almost exclusively. GREAT company; honest, doing right, natural products, good products etc... And they smell great too. Hope this helps.

This soap dried out my face and body something terrible. I do however use it at the sinks for hand washing because it lasts so long and is much more affordable than liquid hand soap and because it cleans well.

I imagine it would kill a buttload of germs, If regular vinegar at 5% kills 80% of germs then it stands to reason that 20% would kill 320% percent of germs. Any germ this did not kill I would be proud to have. In using this for house cleaning be aware that it is real acid and may etch the surface of some things. If it removes the rust from old tractor parts it is pretty strong. You might consider asking on some cleaning advice forum before using this on a fancy fridge or stone counters.

Any kind works for me. I tried making my own out of dish soap, but find that the cheap stuff from the Dollar store or Target works better.

I use Dawn liquid for washing dishes in the sink and it works perfectly. If you are using it for hand washing I expect any liquid hand soap would work fine, but I would not use those include that have grains for hard scrubbing.

It doesn't say, but I think this statement infers not to. "Easily clean with warm soapy water". It seems the bacteria and enzymes might fare better without the sanitation of a dishwasher.

I just use regular dishwasher soap. Pu the hat in with a regular wash cycle of dishes

We use this on our kitchen sink. Takes away stains and when properly applied puts a nice finish on it. Can't say about soap scum.

From my experience it wasn't very compatible with soap. It quit working after about 3 months. Pass on this one. Not worth the money.

it wilyl clean the mold and mildew. It probably won't clean the soap scum. Unlikely to cause any harm.

Any normal dish soap will work. You don't need to worry about ruining the seasoning like in cast iron. They are also listed as dishwasher safe, and I have had good luck with that as long as I haven't burned on any food.

I don't know, however, you can try a 3 parts watter to 1 of body rinse and test it. It works on otherthings like dish soap and other hand type soaps.

It works well with any dish soap. I use mine with Ajax and it works like a dream.

You can use almost any hand soap. I normally get the EQUATE CLEAR HAND SOAP from Walmart which works extremely well with the Simplehuman Sensor Pump and it only cost around $4.00-4.50 for a 56 Fl Oz bottle.

I haven't tried both but I do know this soap leave the sink, counter and everything black. The tub looks dirty where my grandkids bathe so it's scrubbing bubbles everytime. It makes me wonder that some of that is left on my skin

Dawn Power Scrubber works well, just be sure to rinse it all out! (look for it in a blue spray bottle near the dishsoap)
