Tarata Shine
To get the most out of your dishwashing soap bar ensure that it is not sitting in any water, and gets the chance to dry between uses. I store mine in the soap shaker which is propped up on the bench top.
🫧 Because we like to keep things as natural as possible and don't use any surfactants in our soaps, you may notice that the bubbles don't last very long once you turn the hot water off. Don't worry about this though, your soap will still leave your dishes sparkly clean. It's just a little mindset shift - you don't need bubbles to have clean dishes. 🫧
