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.

What happened?

I have used Dawn for years. Always trusted it would get grease off anything I needed cleaned. I wanted the big jug so I didn't have to buy it as often, and I could repurpose the jug. Seemed like a win win. First bottle I filled was the thick Dawn I was use to. As the jug emptied, the soap seemed to get thinner and less effective. I was using more than ever just to get suds in my dish water. Plastic bowls held onto their grease unless I squirted more into each bowl. Yesterday was the last straw. I cooked a Boston butt in my crockpot. My bowls I used when shredding had to be washed 3 separate times in scalding hot water just to degrease them. I was putting my crockpot away after it dried and I had a ring of white grease around the lid. It had also been scrubbed 3 times. I was livid. I don't know what happened to a cleaner I use to swear by, but I won't be fooled again.

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?

Not the same.

Very runny. Not the same as Platinum Dishwashing. It still works.

Dawn Professional

Does not seem to hold the suds as much as the other Dawn that I have used.
