Decide by water & workload
- Hard water + lots of pots: stronger formula or solid bar made for minerals.
- Soft water + sensitive skin: mild, fragrance‑free liquid; gloves optional.
- Hand‑wash only kitchen: consider a concentrated refill system.
Make any soap work harder
- Pre‑soak, scrape, hottest comfortable water, good tools (brush + cloth).
- Measure—don’t glug.
Environment
Refills and concentrates usually reduce plastic and transport impact the most.
