RE: Chemicals that may or may not be injurious. Or m aybe I AM a crank.

[Guest guest]

The various chemicals used. At home I use a simple, plant-based washing-up

liquid, with which I am comfortable and which I am reasonably convinced is

not injurious. The powder they use at work leaves the cups and glasses

feeling as though they have a deposit on them. I've heard nothing in

particular about dishwasher powders being harmful, but on general priciples

I avoid consuming unnecessary substances. Also (although I have not

mentioned this) the manufacturers are one of the large animal-unfriendly

lot. I know that rinsing my own crockery won't make any difference but I

just feel better not using it. I also don't know for a fact that carbonless

(ie treated) paper can be hazardous if ingested, but why take it in if you

don't need to?
