dish soap

Greasy pan solution

Dish soap is liquid detergent formulated for washing dishes by hand, designed to cut through grease and food residue.

Distinguished from dishwasher detergent, which is for automatic machines: We're out of dish soap—can you grab some?

Also called dishwashing liquid or washing-up liquid (British).
