Apple Dishwashing Liquid

Apple dishwashing liquid is an apple-scented washing-up liquid used to clean plates, glasses, cutlery, pots and pans by hand. A small amount is usually added to a wet sponge or a basin of water and worked into a lather, then the dishes are rinsed with clean water. Many households also use it to wipe kitchen counters or to soak greasy cookware before scrubbing. At Dekenet Al Nes, a package-free grocery store in Baaqline in the Chouf, Lebanon, this dishwashing liquid is sold by the kilo for refilling. Customers are encouraged to bring their own bottle or container and fill it with the amount they need, which helps cut plastic waste and single-use packaging. You can find it on the Home Care shelf at the Baaqline branch.
