I kept pouring way too much soap because my sponge was always greasy and I thought more soap would fix it, then a plumber in Tulsa mentioned the grease was just floating back up from the drain. Dropped $2 on a mesh strainer to catch the gunk and now one small squeeze does a whole sink of dishes. Anyone else notice their soap lasts way longer once the drain stops spitting grease back?
