This Soap Helps Me Use 50% Less Tap Water—And My Plates Have Never Been Cleaner

The new Gain Power Blast Dish Spray ($4.89, Target.com) has actually made it enjoyable to do the dishes, and that's saying something. Usually I dread the sink filling up with dirty dish water and having to endlessly scrub to get out the remnants of difficult ingredients like melted cheese. But the Power Blast Dish Spray not only cleans much better than traditional dish soap, it actually helps me use less water, too (roughly 50% less water, to be specific). When you spray your dishes, the soap is already foamy and ready for scrubbing, so you only need water for your final rinse. Avoiding the initial rinse with water also prevents food scraps or cooking grease from getting everywhere.

The scent of this Power Blast Dish Spray is amazing and my dishes feel noticeably cleaner after using it. Plus, I have to scrub much less to get rid of any stains or stuck on food remains. Not to mention, it's less than five dollars for a bottle and a little goes a long way so it really lasts. Gain claims the inspiration for this product was to "transform washing dishes into everyone's favorite household task". While I wouldn't go that far (I still daydream of dishwashers), I have already recommended this product to everyone I know. As a person without a dishwasher who cooks at least two to three times a day, I would consider this product a must-buy.
