Review on ๐ŸŒผ Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day Dishwashing Liquid Dish Soap: Cruelty-Free Formula, Honeysuckle Scent, 16 oz (Pack of 6) by Robert Lee

Revainrating 3 out of 5

There is no artificial fragrance in the product description. A bit misleading

This review is about the scent of lavender. This product cleans really well. But there is another problem that bothers me. I usually love natural scents. This product contains some natural ingredients that have their own taste. However, its main taste is a) not natural and b) overwhelming. In the Q&A section here on Revain, a Meyers rep says they chose artificial "flavors" because they last longer than natural ones. You can find these questions and answers. Also, the ingredients listed below in this Amazon list are not exhaustive. In fact, the bottle revealed more ingredients, including the culprit. Artificial is one thing. Otherwise it's just too much. I've always been a fan of scents and scents. I remember going to a friend's house 20 years ago and they always had this artificial floral scent that was very strong in their kitchen. I never liked going there because, for lack of a better word, I always found it unsightly. I never knew what that smell was and never asked. Now, years later, I've finally found where that smell came from so long ago. I have never used Meyers. But due to this pandemic we ran out of soap and I saw a deal for 6 bottles at a really good price. i love lavender I thought so, this is it! Unfortunately I was wrong. To my dismay, the smell I had long forgotten turned out to be Meyers, and now I have six bottles of it. I opened the first bottle and thought it was weird. I know that smell. After washing the veggies a bit, I recap the bottle and will offer all six to my neighbors who might be customers. My kitchen still smells hours later. DO NOT use them on vegetables. Bad mistake. Oils and artificial flavors took 8-10 full rinses and I ended up using high proof vinegar twice to get rid of the flavors so my veggies were edible. And I used a small amount of soap in a full 4 liter bowl. I can't imagine this soap being "good" for you as some might argue, aromatherapy or not. EDIT: Ten days after posting above I managed to sell all six bottles to a couple of neighbors and alerted them. But the sponge I used to use to clean vegetables still smells like aroma after ten days and nights of washing dishes. I've even used very strong vinegar and other strong soaps. Caveat: The one time I used this Meyer soap, I didn't even pour the soap directly onto the sponge. I simply added some to the 4 liters of water for my veggies as mentioned above, mixed and then used a sponge. And I still can't get rid of the smell.

Pros
  • Health and Life
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
