Dawn speaks for itself.

I have been using dawn dish soap as long as I can remember. I use it for everything - dishes, bathrooms, windshield, dogs, you name it. This gallon was no different. The soap quality is noticeable better than the other kinds of soap I try, and it is super soft and silky on whatever surface you clean. It comes in a nice size bottle for the price, which manages to remain competitive regardless of how much better the product is. It cleans super fast and I don’t spend nearly as much time scrubbing. The bottle is sturdy and fits easily in my kitchen cabinet. I can’t recommend this stuff enough!

Lemon Dawn for Tough cleaning

I ordered the Lemon as a preference and pleased at how useful it was on my Foodi Grill as well as some large plastic storage bins which had been collecting grime for some time. This is a much more concentrated Detergent than what I use for for routine kitchen cleaning so it works well on greasy articles. My Plumber had recommended pouring Dawn in the kitchen drain routinely to help prevent build up problems. So far no need for a plumber call back .

Cheaper by the volume

It depends on your needs. I calculated that the price per ounce for this large jug is more economical than that of the medium-sized bottle. This detergent is highly concentrated, so you only need a few drops on your sponge. Additionally, I like to keep refillable containers by both the kitchen and laundry sinks. I add a squirt of detergent to the washing machine along with one detergent sheet, and it works great! I have seen videos on the internet showing its many uses.

Dawn Professional

I was extremely disappointed with the new bottle of Dawn Professional. It is so watery and thin and does not do the job the previous bottle did. I am using so much more of the product to do the same amount of dishes. Not happy with the new bottle.

Dawn

My bottle came almost 1/2 full. I don’t know how the liquid got out and the box it came in was tearing apart. The lid was closed on the I have no idea how the liquid came out. I didn’t know how to get in touch with anyone to complain. The soap is amazing it’s the packaging that isn’t.

Dawn Professional - not as good as Dawn Ultra Conc

I bought the Dawn Professional because it had a pump on top which would make it easier than pouring into the small squeeze bottle I use. I assumed that "Professional" meant really good like the "Dawn Ultra Concentrate" I usually purchase. WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! I couldn't understand why I was having to really scrub and scrub on my stainless steel pot. Then I checked into the 2 different products. Will take back and exchange and make sure I don't make this mistake again. A HUGE difference between the 2.

Overwhelming scent specific to this formula...

Why did Procter %26 Gamble ruin a perfectly good dish detergent with overwhelming scent? Consumers are not looking for perfumed hands and dishes. I have used Dawn detergent for many decades and have always been satisfied with both the mild scent and its reliable performance. That balance is exactly what made it a staple in my kitchen. Unfortunately, the Professional Pots %26 Pans formula seems to prioritize fragrance over function. Many of us choose dish soap for effectiveness and neutrality, and not as a substitute for air freshener or personal care products. What’s most disappointing is that nothing appeared to be broken in the first place, as the detergent has always worked as intended. The good news is that this scent seems to be limited to this particular formula. It will take many months to exhaust this monster jug, but when it has been depleted, I am going back to regular Dawn.

reply from Dawn

We thank you for sharing your experience with Dawn Ultra. We understand that the new fragrance in Dawn Ultra Original has been a change for many long-time users, and while some consumers have embraced the new scent, we recognize that others miss the original mild fragrance. In the meantime, we suggest trying other Dawn scents, including the unscented Dawn Free and Clear. We would love to hear more about your experience and assist you further, so please call us at (800) 725-3296.

Great Product, Great Price

I read somewhere that this pro brand of Dawn was a little less sudsy than the typical but that's just fine for me. I only use Dawn brand since it cuts through grease especially when I'm making bacon and need to clean my bake ware. I also use it exclusively to prevent clogging up my camper gray tank as well. This one was on sale and for the quantity and price, I think it's great. I haven't noticed any difference than the "typical" Dawn I personally use and buy.

Dawn Professional

Dawn Professional Pot, Pan, and Dishwashing Liquid is the best I've ever used. I won't be without it. I buy several whenever it's goes on sale, so I always have it on hand. It is useful for many other things. It actually breaks down toilet clogs, then helps it slip away down the pipe. Pump it into the toilet bowl and let it sit long enough to soften and break down "debris". You still may need to use a plunger briefly. This Dawn is concentrated and very effective for more than just dishes. It makes quick work of breaking down grease in pots and pans. Love it!
