Does anyone else have customers, or yourself that complains about a soap smell/taste on the classic and skinny scrapers? I have a customer that says it has picked up the taste of her dishsoap. She is wondering if she is overly sensitive or if it happens to others. Anyone else have this problem?

I don't have the classic/skinny scrapers, just the cranberry ones and the mix n scraper, but I have never had an issue!
 
No. I wonder if they aren't getting rinsed properly. Possibly there's a soap film remaining on them.
 
I have had that issue with my own, but I just thought I was crazy! :-) I can wash them over and over and make sure they are rinsed and they still smell/taste like soap....
 
Odd. I wonder if it's the type of soap. I use Finish (aka Electrasol).
 
WOW! I thought I was going crazy! I have that problem too.
 
Is it from the dishwasher?
Or hand wash
 
me too (I was never going to admit it)
doesnt matter if its hand washed or dw it always has a greasy film
