Nowadays, some families, especially in the countryside, have the habit of using washing powder or soap to wash dishes instead of specialized dishwashing liquid. Experts warn that this habit is extremely harmful because the ingredients in washing powder are toxic, even containing many carcinogenic substances.

Research published on the Health page shows that the ingredients in detergent left over after washing dishes can enter the human body and destroy the membranes of red blood cells. This destruction can easily lead to hepatitis, stomach and gallbladder inflammation, reducing the body's resistance and ability to fight diseases, and regular use can even lead to cancer.

Therefore, researchers advise people not to use soap when washing dishes, but to use a dishwashing solution that has been certified to meet food safety standards. After washing dishes with a cleaning solution, they need to be rinsed many times with clean water, preferably sterilized with hot water.
