My wife enjoys the scent of our Ajax Dish Liquid. So, I wrote Colgate-Palmolive to see if I could use it to wash something else of mine other than dishes…
Dear Cleanser Question Answerers,
You claim that AJAX Super Degreaser Dish Liquid “Eliminates Unseen Food Residue.” If the food residue is unseen, how do you know there was food residue there in the first place? And why is food residue bad? In my house we call that leftovers.
Since your Super Degreaser cuts through grease and the result is sparkling clean, do you feel AJAX Dish Liquid would also make for a good shampoo? I think the smell of the Ruby Red Grapefruit really turns my wife on because she’s always doing the dishes and we have a dishwasher. Anything’s worth a shot to keep the spark alive, right?
AJAX is AOKAY!
