I also use Dr.Bronners for my dishes. Sometimes for really grimy pans I add a teaspoon of Borax, just make sure to Rinse real good if you add the borax!!
I use the peppermint in the shower and to add to laundry. I use the lavender for the bath. I did try to brush my teeth with a tiny drop of it years ago, and it was kinda yucky tasting. It's really concentrated so it can be economical.

Linda, I'm in SE Texas - I get Dr. Bronner's at my HEB Market store and also Whole Foods. Always have that good peppermint soap by the kitchen sink for washing hands.
