as a frugal person, over the years, i have only a handful of products that have to be 'name brand'. dawn

Question

dish soap was one. about 10 yrs ago, they started "improving their product". i noticed when all there was ,was ultra & flavors etc. i complained to the company. they sent me coupons for the very products i disliked. i've been patient, but now i'm ready to jump ship. please advise me as to the dish soap i should try, so i don't have to buy a dozen just to check them out. please keep in mind, i'm not crazy about it smelling like something to eat or bubble-bath in. thanx!

Answer 1

Ajax and Sun light are also good soaps...=) I'm with you why do they mess with something that was good to begin with...=)

Answer 2

Dawn is still the best. I noticed the same thing you did when they changed everything. At the time I didn't have a dishwasher and all my plastic thermal mugs tasted like the flavored detergent! I've tried a couple of the newer Dawn detergents over the past couple of years, as well as some other name brands, but I always go back to original Dawn. You probably won't find anything better, but if you do, please post something letting us know!

Answer 3

I agree. Cannot tolerate all these super scented products on the market. Most of the products have natural scents or at least one that is a fresh scent like clean linen or such. I actually have a Dawn Original Scent in my cabinet now. Could be your supermarket is not carrying all the scents.

Answer 4

Change if you must but word of advice, You won't find another Dish-washing liquid that really removes grease from things,and can be used in a multitude of things. But if you must try Liquid Joy, or Palmolive. Bye

Answer 5

Dawn with bleach is not too bad. They have a one kind that has bleach and it does not smell too bad. I use it all the time. It is a off yellow color.
