Great fo stains
Very versatile, tough on dirty dishes. I dilute mine with peroxide and baking soda to make stain remover for clothes. Works great. I wish the scent was not as strong and sunlit food color.

Need Classic Scent Dawn
I bought what I thought was the “original” Dawn and found it was the new “fresh” scent. Was I disappointed to find out it was NOT the kind I have been using for almost 50 years. Just finished using this LARGE bottle and was thinking of changing to a new brand….then I researched and found you are bringing back the Classic scent! Yeah! Can’t wait to find it on the shelves of my local stores! I use Dawn for dishes, clothes stains, carpet stains, diluted eye glass cleaner, even mirror cleaning sometimes! 5 stars for the Classic scent!

Love the new scent
I was rejuvenated by the new scent. I recognize that it does have a body wash/shampoo type of fragrance, but anyway, for me, it was more about the the washing experience. It’s not like it lingers on my dishes after they are rinsed. Maybe in my mind, I, myself, felt cleaner because of it, rather than feeling like I had just handled oils and seasonings. So despite a call to a return to the old thing, I hope this remains the one, or at least, still available.

The best
This is hands down the best dish soap. It removes grease like no other, leaves my dishes squeaky clean. I usually opt for non toxic products but this is one am not willing to give up on. The scent is not overpowering neither does it stay lingering. Its very concentrated so can definitely dilute it and it will work just fine.

Work well
Clean the cutlery well. Does not leave an unpleasant scent or irritate the skin. However, I would like there to be an organic version of this detergent.

Dawn really works
Dawn is the best… not only for washing dishes but for stubborn stains also. Dawn removed a stain from my carpet that regular carpet cleaner didn’t. It only takes a small squeeze to do a dishpan full of dishes so the value is extremely good as well.

Dawn Ultra Dish Soap
I'm going be honest I've tried probably every dish soap available in the market in the past and I will always go back to dawn soap been a tue customer now for 18 years the quality to get all the grease off the pots and pans is amazing no strong odor that makes your head hurt. I do not recommend this product. Not anymore.

Best soap around
Dawn is our go to for everything. Stain in clothes, cleaning up counters or dishes, even used it to help clean up our chicken when she got unwell due to some feet problems. It gets the job done and is fair price wise.

Powerful and effective cleaning
Cleans grease quickly and effectively with very little product . It has pleasant aroma and leaves the dishes impeccable without effort. In addition, it is soft with the hands and yields a lot of. Without a doubt, it is a reliable detergent for daily use
