Removes grease on contact while leaving dishes cl
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review. Dawn Ultra really removes grease on contact, just like it claims. It cuts through oily dishes quickly, even with a small amount of soap. The formula is concentrated, has a clean scent, and leaves dishes looking spotless. It definitely makes dishwashing easier and faster.

Best Dishwashing Liquid!!
I've tried lots of dishwashing liquids and this is BY FAR the best!! You don't have to use very much at all to have it foam up, and wash your dishes!! This dishwashing liquid always lasts me a long time because a little goes a long way. And it always gets my dishes squeaky clean!! ✨️ Highly recommend!!

Degreaser is the one to go for
Best dish soap hands down. If you buy the degreaser it works best in breaking down anything stuck on the dishes and creates a easier experience washing

I only use Dawn liquid dish soap. I never use my dishwasher because I have so few dishes to wash. I buy the smallest size. It's so cute! It's very inexpensive too!

Must have household staple
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Dawn, dish soap is my favorite household staple. From washing dishes to other household cleaning, I always find myself reaching for Dawn. Not to mention, it smells wonderful! It’s such a versatile product that I firmly believe everybody should have some under their kitchen sink!

Hard to beat
I’ve tried plenty of dish soaps over the years but I keep coming back to Dawn. It’s concentrated so a little goes a long way and it always gets the job done. I also use it to clean my stove and to pre-treat stains. It’s reliable, effective, and hard to beat!

Not the same
I was using Dawn since the 1990's. The new formula has changed in ways other than the fragrance, which not only smells bad, but irritates the nasal passages. It is impossible to remove the suds from plastics without using vinegar. Also, I need to wear gloves when I use it as my skin started to peel. I see that the formula has also changed and the liquid is much thinner. Switching to Palmolive.

The New Scent is HORRIBLE
I have used Dawn for over 30 years, then about 1.5 years ago, something changed either with me or the soap, and my fingertips started peeling and cracking. As my first step, I stopped using Dawn, and my hands cleared up. I decided to give it another try and I bought a new bottle last weekend, and the scent is HORRID. It's very perfumy, very strong, I could smell it in my pots and pans after washing them. After one use, I gave it away. So, I guess it's back to Palmolive antibacterial and Ivory. Palmolive green "original" scent has changed, too. Let's just leave the classics alone, can we!?

Truly does break away hard grease
Dawn is definitely a staple soap for everything. It definitely gets the grease and hard stains out of EVERYTHING. Only giving 3 stars because my husband uses this in the shower to help break the diesel and asphalt off his skin. And I don’t like seeing it sit in my shower. Definitely recommend!!

Cuts Grease Like a Champ
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve used a lot of dish soaps, and I keep coming back to Dawn Ultra Original. It cuts through greasy pans fast and only takes a small amount, which I appreciate when I’m on dish duty. It rinses clean and leaves dishes squeaky without much effort. The only downside is the scent can feel a bit strong if you’re sensitive to fragrances, but overall it’s reliable, effective, and makes dishwashing as painless as possible.
