Think Dawn Dish Soap Is Safe? Roseville’s Om Sweet Om Cleaning Explains Why It Might Be Time to Switch

If you live in Roseville, chances are you’ve got that familiar blue bottle of Dawn dish soap sitting by your sink. It’s long been praised as the go-to grease fighter—even used by wildlife rescue teams—and it carries that unmistakable “clean” scent.

But at Om Sweet Om Cleaning, based right here in Roseville, CA, we believe that truly clean shouldn’t come at the cost of your health, your home, or the planet. In this blog, we’re breaking down what’s really inside conventional dish soaps like Dawn—and sharing safer, sustainable alternatives like our very own Essentially Om Bar Soap, created with your wellness and the environment in mind.

Acidic cleaners are powerful tools for tackling hard water stains, soap scum, and mineral buildup—but use them on the wrong surface, and you could cause serious damage. Learn which acids are safe for what, what to avoid (hello, chrome!), and how to clean smart without the costly mistakes.

Switch your cleaning tools and sponges to something more natural—and here’s why! Conventional sponges are loaded with toxic chemicals and plastic that pollute your home and the environment. Natural alternatives, like loofahs, coconut scrubbers, and cotton crochet scrubbies, are safer for you, biodegradable, and just as effective. Making the switch means a cleaner kitchen, fewer toxins, and less waste—good for you and the planet!
