Again, I must say, that we all have to wash dishes at one time or another in our lives and I don’t know of many people who actually like doing that task. I know I don’t! I remember when I was a little girl I had to stand on a stool to help with the dishes. Today, I don’t have to use a stool but I still have to do the dishes. I do love my automatic dishwasher a lot! But, there are times when I have to make a sink of sudsy water to wash dishes in. For instance, if there are only a few to do there is no need in running the dishwasher and being wasteful.
Another great dish soap is one that has been around for a long, long time, 55 years in fact. It has brought joy to many families over the years. In fact, some people swear by its use on washing their cars! I admit that I use it for that also from time to time. And I do know that it cleans the dishes well!
Now, this well-known product comes in an Ultra formula, where you will use less and save money.
The Product
Ultra Joy® Aromatic Release Country Lemon Concentrated Dishwashing Liquid will allow you to enjoy the scent throughout the entire time you are washing those dirty dishes! The scent is very pleasant and not strong at all. As with the original Joy®, the Ultra washes dishes very well. In fact, as you get to each dish that you have in your sink you will find that the dish is already cleaned and all you will need to do is quickly wipe it and rinse it. The Ultra Joy® rinses easily and leaves no soap residue behind.
You can actually enjoy doing your dishes with this product. I don’t know about you guys and gals but I don’t like heavy scented dish washing soap at all! And I don’t like one that will not work well, leave a soapy residue behind and no shine. With Ultra Joy® you will not have those problems.
The suds last a long while (as with washing your car) and you don’t have to keep adding water to the sink. Now, with the bucket for the car you may. That just depends on you and how you wash your car.
Ultra Joy® contains biodegradable anionic and nonionic surfactants and no phosphate.
The Bottle and Price
The bottle I buy is the small 12.6 fl oz for 97 cents at my local Wal Mart. At the local Winn Dixie the same size is around 1.20 and slightly higher are drug stores. It also comes in larger sizes for around 2.00 or more depending on where you buy.
The bottle is clear plastic with the standard white, flip cap that allows for easy squirting of the product. The liquid is not too thick where it will not come out either.
The product is also soft to the hands and a lot of women will use it to moisturize their nails before filing them. Now, I have never did this but I know of people who do.

How I Feel
I have been using Joy for a number of years off and on. Actually I guess that would be for 25 years or more. It is really a great dishwashing liquid. My mother uses it, my sister uses it, I use it and my oldest uses it. And like I said, I it is one of 3 that I love using.
I always like being able to wash dishes easily for I hate to wash them to start with. And I love being able to rinse the dishes quickly. I have also found that with Ultra Joy® the drying time of the dishes is a lot quicker than with other dishwashing liquids. Leaves the dishes sparkling clean!
I also know that when using Ultra Joy® to wash the car with, the car also dries quicker and there are no streaks left behind ever. No spots either! Leaves a nice shine behind.
You can buy cheaper store brand dishwashing liquids or you can pay a few cents more and buy a name brand one instead. With the store brands you will use more to wash dishes with and in the end it will cost you more. The suds do not suds well at all nor do they last.
Ultra Joy® also comes in an antibacterial formula that is also great. It has a proven formula that kills germs on hands and has a citrus scent. Hard enough to clean the dishes and soft enough to use a soft soap for the hands! That is what Ultra Joy® is all about.
Overall, I am always happy with Ultra Joy® and since Joy® has gone Ultra, it last longer and takes a smaller amount.
I hope that this has helped in some kind of way.
God Bless!
