Aloe Vera 2-in-1 Dish Soap

I've tried a bunch of dish soaps, but this 2-in-1 formula really stands out. It's a total game-changer for everyday cleaning - gentle on my hands, tough on grease and food residue, and easy on the environment too. Plus, it's a great value for money and super easy to use. I've been using it for a while now, and I'm really impressed with the build quality and how well it lathers up. It's definitely one of my go-to cleaning essentials.

A Great Dish Soap, But That Pungent Smell Keeps Me from Buying It Again

summarizeEditor's Summary

I've tried my fair share of dish soaps, and AOS's Balm Aloe Vera is a solid choice - it's got a thick, luxurious consistency that produces a great lather and cuts through grease like a pro. The build quality is top-notch, and it's affordable, too. But, there's just one major downside: the smell is seriously overpowering. I've used it for a week now, and while it's been okay, I just can't get past that pungent aroma. If you're not sensitive to strong odors, you might love this stuff - but for me, it's a total deal-breaker.

Hey everyone!
I've got a confession to make - I actually enjoy washing dishes. There's something therapeutic about it, you know? But let's be real, the right dish soap can make all the difference. I've got my go-to brands, but I'm always up for trying something new.
So, on my last shopping trip, I picked up a new dish soap to try. I opted for AOS's Balm Aloe Vera, as my usual favorite was out of stock. I'd tried AOS before, and I remembered it being pretty decent. Today, I'm going to share my thoughts on AOS's Balm Aloe Vera.
AOS Dish SoapKEY DETAILS:
AOS Nourishing Care Maximum Cleaning Balm Aloe Vera Dish Soap
Price: 99 rubles
Net weight: 450g
Manufactured in Russia
Where to buy: I picked it up at Pobeda
INGREDIENTS:
5% or more, but less than 15%: anionic surfactants; less than 5%: nonionic surfactants, fragrant additive (including limonene), ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid salt, aloe vera gel, pH regulator, preservative, colorants.
PACKAGING:
The dish soap comes in a sturdy, bright orange plastic container. The AOS branding is pretty recognizable. On the front, you'll see a picture of aloe vera.
AOS Dish SoapThe back has all the necessary product information.
Product InformationThe flip-top cap is a nice dark blue color. It opens and closes smoothly, and the dispenser is easy to use – it gives out just the right amount of soap.
Flip-top CapORGANOLEPTIC PROPERTIES:
The consistency of this gel is pretty thick and uniform.
The color is a dark green.
I wasn't a fan of the smell – it's really strong and overpowering.
ConsistencyUSAGE INSTRUCTIONS:
To wash dishes directly under running water, apply 1-2 drops of the gel to a damp sponge, rub the dishes, and rinse under running water or mix 1 teaspoon of the gel with 5 liters of water, wash the dishes, and rinse. In regions with hard water, it's recommended to increase the dosage of the gel.
APPLICATION AND RESULTS:
I use a small amount of gel when washing dishes. I squeeze it onto a damp sponge. Thanks to its thick consistency, a lot of foam is created, and one drop is enough to clean a lot of dishes. I rinse the foam under running water. It washes off well, and there are no residues left on the dishes.
Foam formationFirst of all, when washing dishes, I noticed the smell of the gel. It's quite strong. I'm very sensitive to smells, so for me, this is a huge minus. I want to relax while washing dishes, not think about the smell of the cleaning product. Plus, I have a child whose dishes I usually wash with the same product as the rest. But even that didn't make me want to wash their dishes with this one. The smell is just too strong! That's why I'm taking off one star, and I won't be buying this product again.
However, the product does an excellent job of removing unpleasant smells like fish and onions.
I was really pleased with the quality of the wash. The product does an excellent job of removing grease and other stains. I wash all my dishes, regardless of the material, with it, and I'm completely satisfied with the results.
Before/AfterBefore/AfterBefore/AfterBefore/AfterMy AOS Aloe Vera hand soap has become a game-changer for me, not just for washing dishes, but also for my gas stove and sink.
Before/AfterI'm not a fan of washing dishes with gloves, so my hands do take a beating. But with this hand soap, I don't feel the urge to immediately apply moisturizer after cleaning up. My skin isn't as dry, and I don't feel any discomfort.
The usage rate is extremely economical, all thanks to its thick consistency. One pack lasts me up to three months.
Verdict:
I really liked the AOS Aloe Vera hand soap. It does its job well. No question, I'd continue buying it, but unfortunately, the scent just doesn't do it for me. Otherwise, I'd definitely recommend it!
Thanks for reading!

Fix Price Drain Cleaner - A Surprisingly Effective Option
I've gotta say, the customer support from ElectroMaster has been top-notch. I had a few questions about the PowerPro 5000 and they responded quickly, even on a Sunday. The return process was seamless too - I just printed out the label and dropped it off at the post office. I was a bit worried about the battery life, but after a week of using it, I'm impressed. It's been a few days since I last charged it, and it's still going strong. I think the PowerPro 5000 is a great value for money, especially considering the build quality and ease of use.

live_helpFeatured FAQ

What's the best way to get rid of the smell after using AOS's Balm Aloe Vera?

Washing your hands thoroughly with soap and water helps, but if the smell persists, try using a gentle hand sanitizer or some fragrance-free lotion to neutralize the odor.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any other scents available - but who knows, maybe they'll release some new options in the future?

I've been using it for a week now, and I'd say it's about halfway full - so, depending on usage, it should last you a good few weeks.

I'm not sure about the return policy, but I'd recommend checking with the manufacturer or the store where you purchased it - they should be able to provide more information.

According to the ingredients list, it seems to be free of harsh chemicals - but always double-check the label to be sure.
