Can you liquify it in water fist THEN mix it?>

I do dishes by hand and the lack of horsepower in the sink diswasher soap annoys me too.

Is it lacking phosphates too?

I took every dish out of the cabinet yeserday and washedm them al a second time. It took me nearly a quarter bottle of soap...grrrrrrrrrrr

For hand-washing the original blue Dawn is good - it's what places like SeaBird Sanctuary use on seabirds in Florida after an oil spill. Gentle enough for birds - strong enough to get the oil off...
