Product Review: Melaleuca's Lemon Brite

Our Malaysian cuisine is famous for being rich of taste. Which also means that they are rich of gunk especially oil. Washing the dishes has never been my favorite chore. My hands will normally end up wrinkley and will itch a lot. Axion and Glo are big no-nos for me. Sunlight is pretty much the best solution for me because of the slightly gentler ingredients. I've always hated the icky feeling you get and that smell that sticks to your sponge after washing about 5 plates. As a resolution, you will need to take a break to clean the sponge before continuing to wash the dishes. Even whose when you are trying to clean dishes that is covered in oil. You will prolly need to add more dish washing detergent and wash a plate/serving dish 2-3 times in order to get rid of the stain and that icky texture. Since there are maids at my mom's house and because I'm such a spoilt bratty princess, I leave the dish washing chores to the maids when I get the chance to do so (unless they are like super busy with catering). Well, since my in laws do not have maids, I will have to wash the dishes over at their place. They use Glo's dish washing liquid which has lime if i'm not mistaken. It is stated on the bottle that it was supposed to help remove the smell. Honestly, I doubt it really works because the icky smell is still there when we do the dishes. My sister in law, Kak Ida and I will always soak and rinse the oily dishes with hot water before washing them. Now, just last weekend, I tried Melaleuca's Lemon Brite and I must say that I am very impressed with the result! With just a tiny winie drop, I could wash a few dishes (2 of them were very oily) and the icky smell/texture wasn't there! Also, my hands weren't wrinkled and irritated after washing the dishes. Wohoo! Finally! I found something that works for me. Sorry Glo, Sunlight and Axion, I shall bid farewell. Really, this product is highly recommended.
