We all have this  thought that all dishwashing liquids are the same,  it was also a mistake that we had before thinking that we can save money on cheaper dishwashing liquids, we learned the hard way and ended up spending more. We tried different brands from dishwashing liquids, dishwashing paste and we the results are all the same, grease was never stripped and dishes seem not that clean enough.
