Does GREEN sunlight liquid clean better than ORANGE sunlight?

Do we believe that green sunlight cleans better than the orange sunlight because in our subconscious mind green is a cleaner colour?

At work, I never trusted the "rasberry" scented dishwashing liquid to do anything other than make things smell like rasberry.; ▶ Reply to This

Personally, the one I like the best is actually that turquoise one from Pick 'n Pay.
Combines the green = clean, and blue = hygiene aspects. Although it could be my absolute love of all things turquoise.. Does anybody else like this one, or is it just me?; ▶ Reply to This

I prefer the colour orange to green, so I'd probably choose that one .... It's a good thing my wife does all the shopping, because I couldn't really care much for practicalities or price.; ▶ Reply to This

Using the orange one, makes me feel like I'm washing up with Oros.
I don't think my dishes mind too much.; ▶ Reply to This

That is the colour that cleans a thousand more plates. (or how many?); ▶ Reply to This

Personally I don't consider green the cleaner colour. Think dirty swimming pool. Township road-side puddles. Bring us some oranges please.; ▶ Reply to This
