It is a liquid soap and is therefore better than bar in so many ways. Plus it has the brand name of Vim, the leader in this segment. One drop of this liquid really cleans at least 3 utensils in general, maybe even more, depending upon the hardness of your water. Absolutely fantastic product for someone washing their own dishes, one drop, and thats it. That being said, many households in Indi employ domestic helps, and not everyone among them is really judicious in the use of this soap and hence results in significantly higher running costs when compared to bar soaps. So, either take some time out and educate your domestic help or wash your dishes yourself if youre planning to use this.
