any other leading granulated wash day soap yet it makes Suds that stand up till the last dish is done and cuts grease like 60 boy how those Suds stand up you don't keep adding soap to finish the dishes and doz cuts grease in less than half a minute yet it's a honey to hands change to does ladies it has everything for dishes oh and say remember all soaps contain vitally needed War materials so save does by always soaking pots and pans first in Clear Water SE to what every bit of doz you use does more be sure to listen to the next episode of The Goldbergs The Goldbergs make wild efforts to put a silencer on birdie but the carrier pigeon is too fast for them this is Clayton Kia speaking for Proctor and Gamble and saying do as the dohms do let doz the new kind of soap do everything in
