Doesn't the final water rinse remove all the soap?

Would Seventh Generation fall into this category?

Is that the part where you click it shut and then it opens later in the wash?

What if I don't click it shut? Won't that let the soap release all at once

and not later on in the cycle?

I had no idea that this is what was happening. Sparkling dishes are nice but

not worth the consequences of a heart attack.

Seventh Generation is a natural cleaning product company.

Reply to , is it?

I do not know what you mean by " Seventh Generation " - is that a brand of

soap? You in the USA have products that we don't yet have.

Your question, does the final rinse remove all the soap? If it is hand

washing dishes, pots and pans, it all depends how hot your water is, and I

feel that it should be sufficient to let the hot water run over them at

least twice and even three times. Of course, I am always of the thought that

if I am going to do a job, it should be done as right as possible. Maybe I

am too fussy ! What is it they say - " better safe than sorry " .

Now if your are talking about an automatic dishwasher, there is final rinse

cycle, which one would assume would clear the dishes of any soap.

Then there is the added detergent to make you dishes come out with a

sparkling clean look. I understand that this deterhegent stays on the

dishes, to make them sparkle. We don't use this last sparkling detergent

when we use the dishwasher - ( only for company)., so I am not clear on

that.
