: So if I use soap I am assuming it should be the smallest amount
: that can be effective. Given the treatment of our Tennessee
: River water I may not need any soap (some days I fill the coffee
: pot from the tap and the water has a slight foam in the pot).

: By mild soap, do you mean something like a small amount of Ivory
: liquid (dish soap)? Or would you use Simple Green or an organic
: castile soap? There was a time when finding a "mild
: soap" was easy, now everything has stuff added to make it
: "better" for a specific purpose but worse for general
: use.

I use either dish washing soap or laundry soap.
