Nellie's Dish Butter, Green Ceramic Dish

A bar of soap for your dishes: that is Nellie's Dish Butter in a sentence. This green ceramic dish holds a concentrated, semi-solid dish soap that does everything a bottle of liquid does — minus the bottle. For anyone working toward a plastic-free kitchen, it swaps a disposable container for one you keep and refill indefinitely.

Because the soap is essentially a solid dish soap bar in butter form, it is far more concentrated than pump-or-squeeze liquids. A wet brush drawn across the surface picks up enough lather for a full sink of dishes, cutting grease and baked-on residue with a light lemongrass scent along the way. The green ceramic dish is sturdy and meant to stay on your counter for the long haul — when the soap is gone, a Nellie's Dish Butter Refill takes its place and the zero-waste dishwashing loop continues.

How to Use

Wet your brush, sponge, or dishcloth with warm water and rub it over the Dish Butter to lather up, then wash and rinse normally. After the dishes are done, tip and drain any standing water from the dish so the soap stays firm.

Round Out the Sink

Load it with Nellie's Forever Brush — its sisal bristles pull soap off the surface cleanly — and keep Forever Brush Replacement Heads on hand so the handle never needs replacing. Nellie's Dish Stick line offers the same solid soap in a self-feeding handle if that suits your setup better.
