Usage & Safety

  • Can I use Palmolive® Ultra dish soap in my automatic dishwashing machine?

     

    No. Using dish soap in a dishwashing machine will cause the suds to overflow and can damage the dishwashing machine.

     

  • Can I mix Palmolive® with bleach?

     

    No. Dish soaps should never be mixed with bleach or products containing bleach. Bleach active is highly reactive and can react with dish soaps and might produce toxic fumes. If fumes occur, open the window and leave the room immediately.

  • How do I know if Palmolive® has expired?

     

    Palmolive dish soap has a shelf life of 2 years. A lot number is printed on the back label at the bottom of the bottle, which includes date of manufacturing. For example: with a code of 0244US7800K - The first 4 digits refer to the manufacturing date: 1st digit is the year (0 = 2020) and the next 3 digits are the day of the year according to the Julian Calendar (244 = Aug 31st) - The manufacturing date is Aug 31st, 2020, therefore expiring on Aug 31st, 2022
