I just had to explain the difference between Dish Washing Detergent and Dish Washer Detergent to someone who had purchased one thinking it was the other.

Hopefully no one has tried using the highly corrosive substance to clean their plates yet...

On a positive note they will only try it once...

Actually when working at Pizza Hut we used something almost as bad for cleaning the ovens. That is to say we had to climb on top of the oven, while it was operating, climb into the fume hood, and spray the stuff about to clean the grease off.

hmm... in hind sight it could explain a few things about me.

Maccas had a similar thing for cleaning the grills. Had a bunch of warning labels on it saying to avoid direct skin contact as it would burn. A guy I used to work with use to add it to the dishwashing water....

Is caustic soda really also called dish washer detergent? What's it used for?

Caustic Soda (NaOH) is strongly alkaline. It's an additive in almost every dish washer detergent as it breaks down the fat to soap.

Same reason it's in drain cleaner.

Human skin contains fat...
