My dad and I are having a debate about the importance of using washing up liquid and I need your help!!
He proffers that water in itself is clean, so why can we not just use water to clean our plates etc.
He also gave an example of how we would likely feel cleaner after “trudging through the jungle”, if we had a wash in a big jungle waterfall without soap.
I showed him that his glasses come out looking cleaner (no water marks) when he washes them with washing up liquid to prove my point that it is important to use it.
But can anyone tell me the actual science behind why we should use it? Or is my dad right? 😂

Dish soap envelops particles of oil and allows them to flow with water and avoid sticking back to the plate, the sink or the drain pipe. You could avoid soap if you didn’t have any fat on your plate. Your body also secretes some fatty liquids that you want to partly wash away.
