Labels typically list use for hand-washing dishes, pots, pans and general cookware, and some also specify automatic dishwasher use. Many products note multi-surface cleaner claims or call out specific food-preparation surfaces such as glass, metal and plastic.
Automatic dishwasher products typically appear as gels or detergent packs explicitly labeled for dishwasher use. Hand-wash options are sold as liquid dish soaps intended for washing dishes, pots and pans by hand.
They are sold in liquid and liquid-gel forms and as single-use or multi-dose packets/pouches.
Labels emphasize cutting through grease, dissolving or removing stuck-on food and residue, and leaving dishes clean or streak-free. Some items specifically highlight stronger degreasing power or reduced scrubbing requirements.
