Firstly, more efforts will have to be made to wash plates or pans, especially when it comes to complex contaminants. And, most likely you will have to soak the kitchen utensils for a while. Some housewives even recommend adding a few crumbs of soap in a pan or pan, pour water and boil.

Secondly, since laundry soap does not foam well in cold water, the housewife will be forced to use hot, and this will not affect the skin in the best way, it is harmful to porcelain and plastic (especially for salad bowls, which are absolutely not designed for hot).

Thirdly, contact with soap greatly dries the skin. Therefore, it will not work to get rid of household gloves. It is still better to wash the dishes with gloves in order to reduce the negative effects of temperature and alkali.

Thirdly, in hard water it is practically impossible and useless to use the household, and in most apartments, such water comes from the taps.

Fourth, laundry soap also needs to be thoroughly washed off. It leaves a film of salts. If this protects things, then the dishes are not quite suitable for food. And who washed the windows with soap, they know how difficult it is to remove whitish stains - an obvious sign of a non-washable product.
