Did you know that Dawn dishsoap, when put direcly on stained plasticware, removes the stain complete after 1 hour.  No more disgusting plastic bowls.  (i pack my lunch most days, and if there is anything with a red sauce, you get the nasty red stain), well not anymore with Dawn.  It does much more than the normal dishes for sure.  Zippers that stick, a bit of dawn on the zipper works wonders for unsticking the zippers on a coat.  (make sure to clean off after you get the zipper working or you will smell like dawn).
