Voted yes. However, after a long day working on the ranch, my son won’t use the hand soap, but instead uses a squirt of the dish soap (that lives in the corner of the large sink to avoid drips on the stone counter top). Perhaps you could use your mom’s dish soap to wash your hands and avoid the hike?

So you use your greasy, dirty hands to pick up the detergent bottle, and now the outside of the bottle is contaminated. Brilliant.

Seriously, what kind of sociopath doesn't have hand soap available at each sink?

Well, our Dawn foamy lives in the sink, so it is just the thumb on top of it. Is it better to contaminate the button on the hand soap dispense than the button on the dish soap dispenser?

Somehow I feel like I'm cheating the system here.

Beside the sink is some semi-fancy olive oil bottle, filled with Dawn for the dishes. Right next to it is a standard pump-bottle (also filled with Dawn) for the hand-washing needs.

To Alan's point: this way we don't have to pick up the fancy bottle with chicken-goo hands in order to get some soap for the hands.

Most of the Dawn products are also antibacterial. They also make it so it doesn’t dry out your hands. It also is designed or formulated to cut grease.
That’s the perfect solution for my hand washing needs and it’s in the built in dispenser at our sink.
My wife buys the fufu stuff in the designer bottle and insists I use it.
Judging by which runs out, neither one of us use it. It’s there for looks, like dried flowers and about as useful in my opinion.

Sort of. Dish detergent doubles as hand soap.

Dawn makes a foamy hand soap.

We have both dawns.

In two separate bottles.

Dawn has washed my hands just fine my entire life. Same at the shop sink next to the gojo tub

I put the dish soap in a pump bottle and use it for hands and dishes. If the top of the dish soap gets grody I wash it.

To comment to those that are advocating, "Just use the Dawn", mother doesn't keep the off-brand dish detergent on the sink; it resides underneath the sink in the cabinet. So since I'm in the habit of just pumping some soap on my hands, I don't think about bringing out the dish soap from underneath the sink before beginning any cooking adventures. So therein lies the problem when I have chicken or hamburger goo on my hands...knob on kitchen cabinet gets goo and the dish soap bottle gets covered in goo.

I find that it's just extremely abnormal for there to be ZERO means "at the ready" of cleaning your hands while cooking. As stated...bat-shit crazy sometimes. I swear to all that is holy and good that she does this just to drive me nucking futs...

Liquid pump soap the kind that foams up and you can wash your hands without adding water. Water only to rinse. We also keep a pump bottle of Purell or generic substitute by the sink. As a matter of fact those two are on all of out sinks.

Dawn in a Simple Human touchless dispenser. We used to keep handsoap in it but Dawn works better so we switched it out. The touchless dispenser is great when your hands are greasy.

Voted yes.

Our sink has a built in pump dispenser that has Dawn in it and we have a liquid handshape dispenser on the counter behind the faucet.

I am coming out as bi-soap. Either one works for me.

I don't want Dawn goddammit. I'm a Palmolive man

So yeah, dish soap w/ salmonella all over the outside of it. Lucky I'm washing my hands right after squirting it.

I get it, the faucet is a Moen single handle, I push it on with my forearm and hit the soap plunger same way.

Always soap and no goo getting on anything.

As far as Dawn drying out my skin, I have enough POL (Petroleum Oil Lubricants) absorbed in my body, that I'll never get ashy (like Bill Burr) or rust. So I got that going for me.

I voted “yes”. I use Dawn for damned near everything: dish soap, hand soap, and shampoo.

I do use Tide for my clothes washer and Colegate for my teeth.

Of course.

My kitchen sink has both hand soap available for hands and dish soap for dishes.

I couldn't fathom having to walk all the way across the house every time I wanted to wash my hands. And regularly washing your hands with dish soap is a recipe for dry and cracked hands.

I keep both a bar of hand soap and a pump of soap next to the kitchen sink. Also I wear latex gloves when handling any type of meat so I can just strip off the glove and move on. I just don’t like handling raw meat with my bare hands. Dish soap is under the sink.

I use Dawn exclusively for hand soap and never suffer dry or cracked hands. And no, I never use hand lotion either.
