Overview
- Öko-Test evaluated 26 hand dishwashing liquids in lab trials and reported that most removed grease only moderately well.
- Two products earned the only top overall grades for strong cleaning and unproblematic formulas: Rewe’s Ja! Ultra Power and Sodasan Lemon & Lime.
- Fit Original failed the review after labs detected elevated formaldehyde above the limit Öko-Test applies to rinse-off cosmetics that touch skin, resulting in a poor overall grade.
- Ingredient screening was positive across the field, with 20 products rated very good and five good for their formulas.
- Practical checks flagged weaker cleaning and missing label guidance for Pril Original, and testers urged regular sponge care or a switch to a dish brush to curb bacteria.
