I love its texture and the results it leaves
It removes grease easily from the first use and yields a lot, makes good foam without the need to use a lot of product I like it because it leaves my dishes clean without residue and with a fresh smell, ideal for daily use

Get rid of the scent!!!
This was a perfect product until they decided to make all my dishes smell. When I eat I had to smell some terrible perfume. No one needs this! Get rid of the smell!!!

A sinkside staple for decades
I received the 87 fl oz refill jug of Dawn Ultra dish soap complimentary for testing purposes. My family has used Dawn dish soap in various scents/colors for decades now, as it is effective, affordable, and easily accessible. Photos are an example of using Dawn on my dishes and cookware after making chipotle shrimp alfredo, and it only took a few minutes to have everyth...

Cleans dishes well, easy to refill smaller bottles
This is a great dish soap that I have used for many years. It gets my dishes clean the best. Easy to rinse and no residue. This refill bottle is super convenient. The spout makes it easy to pour into the smaller bottle without any mess and the handle makes it much easier.

Good way to save money
Getting this refill bottle is a good way to save per ounce especially if you use it regularly like we do at home. I did use this refill bottle to also refill one of the Dawn spray bottles.

A household staple
Dawn has always been a staple cleaning supply in our household. It really cuts the grease and breaks down any oil based residue. This bottle is a significant size to refill any smaller bottle you are currently using. I would not recommend using this bottle solely, because it's super heavy. Great product!

Sparkle ✨
Helps get your pots and pans cleaned in less time. Its beautiful refreshing scent cuts through grease and baked on food. I also have used it on clothing stains and it works great. So look for the packaged blue bottle …. And sparkle ✨

It’s cool
I love the product but over the years I’m noticing we are getting less and less in the bottles. It used to be worth it because you got a good amount for a decent price but not anymore. It seems like they’re diluting it more and more too. It still gets the job done and cleans my dishes but I used to use it for more cleaning and now I don’t.

If it's not broke, don't try something else
If it is not broken, we do not fix it. We have been a dawn powerful for as long as I can remember. It is the one thing I can always count on. Since we do not have a dishwasher anymore, I make sure to pay a little bit more attention to the power. My dish soap has. This has been our tried and true for her as long as I can remember. It is my tried and true, and I refuse to...

Awful smell
Why does it smell so bad? I have used Dawn for over 40 years. This scent is going to make me look for a new product. So devastating.

Great
Dawn Ultra Dishwasher Liquid is a great dish soap! It removes grease very easily, even in cold water, and creates a rich foam with just a small amount. It’s very economical, cleans dishes quickly without much scrubbing, has a pleasant scent, and is gentle on the hands.

No fuss, no extra scrubbing needed.
I’ve tried a lot of dish soaps, but I always end up going back to Dawn Ultra. It just works.
It cuts through grease so easily—even those super oily pans—and I don’t have to keep adding more soap. A little really goes a long way, which I love because it actually saves money over time.

Years of complaints and Dawn still smells repulsiv
Years later and after years of complaints and concerns with fragrances - Dawn still has an overwhelming perfume stench that makes you recoil.
Dawn, please if you won't change the scent please issue a fragrance free option.

Most versatile soap out there
Most versatile product out there. Use it to treat stains on clothes, to wash dishes, to clean your hands or even your house or car. Truly, no better brand. Creates suds easily, tough on grease, smells great. Check out the Dawn Powerspray also!
