As long as they get the cleaning job done, they\u2019re good, right?\r\n\r\nWell, it turns out that all cleaning products are not created equal. Everything from laundry detergents to bottled waters has some brands that are far safer than others. Of course, you want every product you use to be as safe as possible, but dish soap in particular spends a lot of time on and near your hands. Unfortunately, many common brands of dish soap contain chemicals that can be rough on your skin.\r\n\r\n\u201cDish soap is one of the worst [products] for skin irritation,\u201d says Madeline Novak, a proprietor who specializes in natural skincare. \u201cNot only does it have lots of harsh chemical preservatives and so-called \u2018disinfectants,\u2019 but it also carries a strong fragrance load, which is almost never naturally derived.\u201d\r\n\r\nNovak knows firsthand about the adverse effects that chemicals in cleaning products can have. She has a severe skin allergy that made it difficult for her to use many common brands of dish soap.\r\n\r\nNutritional chef Melissa Eboli also knows a thing or two about cleaning product safety. Seven years ago, she developed a severe case of multiple chemical sensitivity and had to get rid of many of the cleaning products in her house that were triggering her MCS. She has even been on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc2news.com\/news\/health\/can-smells-make-you-sick-research-shows-scent-sensitivity-could-be-dangerous\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ABC News<\/a>\u00a0to discuss her experiences. Eboli says that the safest dish soaps are the ones that aren\u2019t synthetic. \u201cThe only products I use and recommend use real ingredients, with words that I can understand and pronounce,\u201d she tells\u00a0<em>Reader\u2019s Digest<\/em>.\r\n\r\nHere are the brands of dish soap that Novak, Eboli, and other experts recommend:\r\n<div>Type 1:\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-product-name=\"Common Good - Dish Soap, Plant-Based with Pure Essential Oil Scents, Biodegradable Formula, No Parabens or Sulfates, Leaping Bunny Certified (Unscented, 16 ounces)\" data-product-price=\"\" data-product-category=\"Home\" data-product-retailer=\"\" data-content-rating=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00B24TSCE\/?tag=reader0b-20\"><strong>Common Good<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0(available in lavender, bergamot, and unscented\u2014all are equally safe!)<\/div>\r\n<div>Type 2:\u00a0<strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-product-name=\"Seventh Generation Dish Liquid Soap, Free &amp; Clear, 25 Oz, Pack of 6\" data-product-price=\"34.99\" data-product-category=\"Drugstore\" data-product-retailer=\"Money Retails\" data-content-rating=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B001FA1NTG\/?tag=reader0b-20\">Seventh Generation<\/a><\/strong><\/div>\r\n<div>Type 3:\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-product-name=\"Mrs. Meyer&#039;s Dish Soap Basil, 16 Fluid Ounce (Pack of 3)\" data-product-price=\"14\" data-product-category=\"Drugstore\" data-product-retailer=\"Spyder Wolf Enterprise\" data-content-rating=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B004WAAAWW\/?tag=reader0b-20\"><strong>Mrs. Meyer\u2019s<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\r\n<div>Type 4:\u00a0<strong><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-product-name=\"Dr. Bronner&#039;s 18-IN-1 Hemp Pure-Castile Soap, Peppermint 32 fl oz (944 ml)(Pack of 2)\" data-product-price=\"43.96\" data-product-category=\"Beauty\" data-product-retailer=\"E.A.
