Bicycle disc brake is slippery, how do I get rid of it?
Hello, I have a problem. I cleaned my Bulls MTB bike with dishwashing liquid and now the disc brakes don't work because I cleaned them with dishwashing liquid. How do I get them to work again so that everything brakes?
…you could try it with brake cleaner (construction market/car accessories). However, you may need new brake pads…for standard brakes available at moderate prices.

and also very important: NIE with the fingers on it, then the fat and never grab
Going to a bicycle disc brake with household fluid is pretty much the dumbest thing you can do because it contains regreasing oils and drip accelerator chemicals
The brake pads can be thrown away because they are porous like a sponge and have fully sucked, you never get clean again.
The brake discs must be cleaned several times with isopropanol or brake cleaner from the KFZ range
You get the disc with solvent absolutely clean and free of fat. I’d be careful with the charges. They’re sometimes porous and if you get oil, fat, or like you’ve got detergents, it can suck. Then you may have a problem with rain weather. You can often try to slow down and see if the appearance gets better. Better swap the charges.
Try brake cleaners.
