Bzz, bzz... Palmolive Pure + Clear

I'm a BzzAgent and what follows is a Bzz Report about Palmolive Pure + Clear dish soap.

I'm sort of a nerd when it comes to cleaning products:  I was super duper excited about receiving my Palmolive Pure + Clear Bzz Kit.  I was doubly excited because a recent event put my dishwasher out of service, so I legitimately *needed* some dish soap! 

The kit arrived in today's mail.  I busted it open while still sitting in my car, and was impressed with the contents:  A 20-ounce bottle of the product in the Spring Fresh scent, a large handful of 2-ounce samples, the Bzz Guide, and a handful of $1 off coupons. 

The first thing I noticed about the dish soap was its unusual fluidity.  Of course dish soaps are liquid, but this one is just a little thicker than water.  It's not as gel-ly as most of the soaps I've used in the past, probably because it doesn't contain a lot of the chemicals that other soaps contain.  I wondered at the time if that meant the suds would be unimpressive; more on that shortly.

The second thing I did was pop open the top of the bottle and give it a sniff, since everyone and their dog has a different notion of how 'Spring' smells.  I have to say that I like Palmolive's interpretation here:  It's essentially a classic green apple-like smell.  Very pleasant.

Later at home, I got to work with my official product testing phase!  I ran hot water, and added a small squirt of soap.  Despite my earlier concerns, it sudzed easily and quickly.  I didn't have anything truly challening to wash this evening - no sauce-encrusted pans - but I did wash all of our dinner dishes, and that one squirt of soap was enough to finish the entire load.  I continued to appreciate the pleasant scent, and I also appreciated that my hands didn't feel terribly dried out after I'd finished.  My usual store brand dish soap is brutal on my hands, so this was a nice change.

All in all, I like this product and will continue to recommend it to others as opportunities arise.  The fact that it's environmentally friendly is a plus, too, as is its middle-of-the-road pricing when it comes to dish soaps ($2.79 suggested retail price, though always look for sales!).
