Dishwashing detergents containing baking soda have good cleaning power, such as removing grease, and can wash vegetables and fruits as well as dishes, so many consumers prefer it.

Korea Consumer Agency evaluated cleaning performance and economic feasibility for 7 products sold in hypermarkets.

Economics was evaluated based on the standard amount of detergent used for 100 liters of water.

If you only look at the amount of detergent it costs to wash the dishes once

The most expensive product was 897 won, and the cheapest product was 323 won, a difference of 2.8 times.

However, an economical product did not necessarily have good cleaning power.

As a result of consumer resource evaluation, 2 products were rated as’Excellent’, 3 products were rated as’Good’ and the other 2 products were rated as’Normal’.

Detergency was’excellent’, but economic feasibility was poor,

The cleaning power was’medium’, but some were rated as’excellent’ for economics.

Consumer Agency pointed out that allergens were detected in three products, but there was no indication for this.

In addition, even if it is a’type 1 cleaner’, he advised that fruits or vegetables should not be soaked for more than 5 minutes and should be washed for at least 30 seconds.
