Some Dish Soap Products contain petroleum distillates which should be avoided at all cost, but for the most part Dish Soap, despite countless fragrances and dyes, is biodegradable and benign. When choosing a Dish Soap we should look at the larger picture: who makes it & what are the companies environmental policies & practices. Take Procter & Gamble for an example, makers of DAWN, IVORY & JOY, Procter & Gamble is the 52nd-largest corporate producer of air pollution in the US releasing about 350,000 pounds of toxic chemicals annually into the air. Many of Procter & Gamble cleaning products contain petroleum distillates and other harmful and toxic chemicals which often go down our drains and into our water supplies.
