Ok thank you for playin tonight my friendBeen good playing with you @Jimi! Time to make Martinis for my wife and I or as we call them "Veggies" (the olives)...
Okies, I haven't looked this up....
If dawn dish soap is okay on the environment including cleaning ducks, geese, so forth, able to spray trees, bushes, etc to kill bugs, it takes stains off of clothes, takes grease off of dishes and whatnot. Why do they not spray the crops with this? Also, why not have some made for clothes washers?
Like I said, have not looked it up, it just popped into me head and decided to ask.

Using soaps on crops or in the garden would affect beneficial insects as well as pests and then all those chemicals would leach into the soil. Not a good idea.Gosh, I've never heard Dawn dish soap is okay on the environment. It's strong, and you see people cleaning rescued animals with it. I wouldn't be surprised if veterinarians use it, but it's not environmentally friendly, and there are better options.

For killing bugs, I guess it's an improvement over neuro-toxins, but not good for either the plant or the soil.
