I can see I need to check out Blue Dawn at the grocery store. We use whatever dish detergent my husband decides smells good. Since he does most of the dish washing, I tolerate him standing in the store opening and sniffing his way through detergents. For a long time we used the Dawn that Costco carries but he's now on to new scents. Love all the ideas for using detergent as stain remover. When I want to do heavy cleaning (like walls), I mix dish detergent with bleach in a bucket of hot water and it works beautifully.

I have used Dawn ever since I saw the commercial showing ducks, etc., being bathed in it to get rid of oil from the oil spills. When dawn ultra with hand renewal by Olay came out, I started using that because my hands will develop cracks in the skin simply because I wash my hands a lot, so the Dawn with Olay is easier on them when washing dishes. I love the way Dawn has always cuts the grease so easily.

I used to use Palmolive, but tried Dawn and stuck with it. I dilute some in a spray bottle and clean my counters and table, stove with it....or anything other surface that needs a cleaning. I put a tiny bit in a bucket for washing floors. I use it to remove stains from clothing, etc...
I've tried some of the different scents and really like the Dawn Platinum for dishes.
I just avoid any of the anti-bacterial ones. Those (in any brand) just promote anti-biotic resistance, so I avoid anti-bacterial anything in products.

I don't like the concentrated liquid. I use the same amount of that as the non concentrated in one squirt so I feel it's wasted. I rarely use the dishwashing liquid for dishes. I'm not wasting my time washing dishes as long as I have a dishwasher and I don't pre wash.
