Mustard for Dish Washing?

Just wanted to make a quick post and finally break the spell of not blogging for almost a year!

Anyway, on my recent trip to Russia, I saw my mom washing dishes in a small basin of hot water (they are saving water), with some yellow powder instead of dish washing liquid.

Apparently, mustard powder is a very good home “remedy” for grease. It gets rid of all the right things and leaves your dishes in a chemical free state, and the environment healthy. And everybody is happy.

I have also heard that vinegar could be used, but haven’t given it a try myself.

May be you can!
