which Dish soap do you use?

[Happiest mommy]

I use Dawn advantage and it seems I need to use a gallon of it just to get thru an average load of dishes and pots so wasteful please tell me what you use TIA

 

[candykisses]

I use Dawn ultra concentrated and love it. It's also the best stain remover I've ever used. I even take a small bottle of it to Disney for stains.

i usually get what is onsale and with coupons. i usually buy gain (stuff smells great) or ultra dawn. it lasts and you dont need a ton to get your dishes clean.

Palmolive, the old green kind. It's the cheapest one at BJ's, and I can usually find a coupon for it. Well, I think Ivory is cheaper, but it leaves a residue on the dishes, no matter how much you rinse so everything tastes like soap

I live alone, so I don't have to wash a lot of dishes. I use the regular Dawn blue stuff, which works fine. A normal sized bottle lasts quite awhile.

 

[Sinderelly]

Ultra Dawn

I use Palmolive the green kind too. Love it!

I use either store brand or Ajax brand(it's cheap). One or two squirts is enough for a whoel sinkful of dishes. You don't need tons of suds for it to work.

Just had to peak around the corner to the kitchen sink----it's Ultra Dawn--it was either 1) on sale or 2) I had a coupon. I'm not brand loyal when it comes to dish soap.

I use plain old Palmolive. Otherwise I can taste it.

At Costco, I get the Palmolive Original green kind but I mix about 3/4 cup soap and 1/4 water to stretch it. I think the last very large bottle I had lasted me about 9 months, no joke!

 

[twinboysmom]

I only use Dawn and it is the only product I am brand loyal to. (they provide it during oil spills)

 

[Pluto the Pup]

Ivory dish soap--love the scent.

 

[cbg1027]

I use Costco's house brand Kirkland Signature Environmentally Friendly dish soap. It comes in a gallon bottle and I'm not even halfway through it 15 months later!

For tough baked on crud, I make a paste of baking soda and water and rub it with a regular sponge. Works way better than any dish soap and it won't leave scratch marks from a scrubbie on my pots and pans. And it's super cheap.

Only non-petroleum based soaps in our house so either Seventh Generation or Trader Joe's.

Dawn green apple sent

I only use Dawn.

If you're having to use more, it might mean your water temp is too cool or your water is hard.

 

[SandrA9810]

I use Dawn also, just the regular blue stuff and a little goes a long way for me. I use those cascade tabs for the dishwasher, when there's one to use.

Hard water can also play a part in how much you need to get dishes clean.

When we lived in town, I'd go through a bottle a month of Dawn. Now that we have well water and a softener, albeit my water is still on the hard side, a snall bottle will last 6+ months.

If the OP has hard water, I can't think of anything that will really help resolve that.

When we had well water Daawn worked the best our water was very hard. We are now on city water and I use Palmolive the green kind.
