Dishes would have been washed with flaked or powdered soap. Super Suds, Felso, and Tide were marketed as both dish soaps and laundry soaps. My grandmother (and Molly McGee) used Tide. Other brands, such as Chipso, sold flakes for laundry and granules for dishes. Although brands like Rinso, Oxydol, Duz, and Lux were sold as laundry soap, I would guess that they were used as dish soap as well, especially during the war years.

Actually dishes were washed with COLD water, and powdered/flaked soap, and a whole-heck of a ton of elbow grease. You did not allow food to DRY on, or you'd be scrubbin' until the cows came home...ie> very late.

Probably the same way I have been doing them for the last 23 years, In hot soapy water, and some elbow grease.
