No longer good

I had to wash my dishes twice some 3 times, I thought I bought a different brand by mistake, but nope, the galon says Dawn. They have a new formula, it is no longer poten. You will need a lot more soap than before.That will be my last time purchasing it.

Dawn Professional is designed to provide accurate dosing to the sink delivered by the pump vs the use of a flip-top cap. This provides performance while also minimizing the overuse and waste. For further questions or information, please contact the P&G Professional Customer Contact Center at 1-800-332-7787.

Inferior to other Dawn products.

I'm so very disappointed in this Dawn product. I thought that since it was labeled as professional and for commercial use, that would mean it would work even better for everyday use. It does not. It doesn't suds well, and it doesn't clean as well as other Dawn products. I'm using so much more than I would normally use, but I am glad to be getting rid of it so I can go back to the better stuff.

reply from Dawn

Thanks for reviewing Dawn Professional, Maria. The formulations between residential Dawn products and Dawn Professional products differ based on usage habits and needs. For example, professional kitchens are required to use an industrial three-compartment sink, where pots and pans can soak and then be scrubbed clean. This requires dishwashers’ hands to be submerged in the soapy solution in water for prolonged periods of time, so our Dawn Professional dishwashing products are formulated for this usage and intended to be extra gentle on hands while still fighting the toughest professional kitchen messes. By contrast, dishwashing trends within the home are shifting away from filling a sink of soapy solution, and over 70% of Americans today instead apply their dish liquid directly to a sponge or individual dish, scrub that dish, and then rinse. Over the past several years, we’ve updated our residential Dawn products to be better suited for this shift in at-home dishwashing behavior, and the formulations and balance of ingredients have reflected that. We're happy to help more and encourage you to give us a call at (800) 725-3296.

the best dish washing detergent ever!

I purchased this from SAMs because the other dawns that you get from the stores seem to not work as good, so I thought I would give this a try since it said professional. Wow! What a great choice. We have five kids ages 4-18 and we are constantly washing pots, and dishes. I purchased this in February and I am posting this review in July and we still have a little left so it lasted about five months and we sometimes wash dishes twice a day. #bestproductever

Horrible!!!

I have been buying Dawn for almost 20yrs and have always been pleased with their products, but this detergent is bad!! I have gone through 2 of these bottles in about 3 months. Why is that a problem? I am doing dishes for 1 person!!! This formula is worse than a generic brand. You need twice as much to get a good lather and it's not cutting the grease the way it used to. I started getting this version because I couldn't find the smaller bottles in stock.(people must be hoarding Dawn dish washing liquid along with toilet paper) I am completely disappointed.

Dawn Professional is not the same . . .

The Dawn Professional 1 gal being sold now is not the same as sold in previous years. It is now a watered down version of what it once was a very good product. Paying the same price but getting less seems to be the new standard these days regardless of where we shop. Are the manufacturers acting alone or are the retailers leaning on the manufacturers to cut quality in order to costs. The consumer loses again.

works well

I mainly bought this for the pump, hoping that it would be interchangeable for use with other product jugs later. It is!! That is great! This pump must be pulled upward to fill and then pressed downward to dispense soap. This is because it is a suction-style pump, much like a syringe, and contains no spring. I guess the benefit of such a thing is that there are no parts to break or go out. It seems like the pump should work for a good while after the jug is emptied, which makes me happy. Of course the soap inside cleans well, it's Dawn. Overall a good buy for me, and the disappointment I felt due to the lack of a spring within the pump mechanism subsided quickly.

PUMP LESS

I didn't notice it in the description, but just be aware that if you purchase with a shipping option, there will be no pump. The pump is only available in store. Of course I realized that the day after I took the container I had with the pump to the recycling center. It's also irritating that it's the same price whether they give you the pump or not. Shouldn't the price be less if they don't include the pump?
