I’ve been cooking regularly for many years and still have not stopped hating the post-cooking cleanup. I’m not loyal to any one dish soap. Sometimes I pick up a bottle of whatever liquid dish soap is on sale at my local store; other times I order a refill of my favorite dish soap bar. One form of dish soap I had not tried before was dish soap sheets.

How the Sheets Work
Lucent Globe’s detergent sheets are thin, textured sheets that dissolve in water to produce rich suds. The sheets can also be folded up and placed in the detergent dispenser of your dishwasher, though we did not test them this way.
The manufacturer says you can use its sheets to hand-wash dishes in a few ways: Place a sheet inside a dish wand with water, dissolve a sheet onto a sponge, or dissolve a sheet in a sink full of water, then use that soapy water to wash your dishes. We tried it both on a sponge and in a bowl of warm water.
The sheets are packaged in a cardboard box containing 80 sheets. If you’re washing one sink full of dishes a day, one box should be enough to wash dishes for 80 days before you’ll need to restock. At $21.99 per box, each sheet costs about 27 cents.

Lucent Globe says these sheets are plant-derived, nontoxic, and formulated without bleach, phosphates, or synthetic dyes. According to SkinSafe, the sheets are 91 percent free of the top 11 most common allergens as determined by the Mayo Clinic. They are not free of fragrance, coconut, balsam of Peru, oil, or sodium lauryl sulfate.
