I use Blue Dawn for lots of things...it's used to take oil sludge off birds & wildlife... as far as taking a lot of rinsing...a tiny bit (couple drops) is enough to clean my hands after working with greasy meats. I have also used it at our store (used furniture and quilting/embroidery)..we took a half filled bottle, added water to dilute (filled the bottle)...and we use it to clean upholstery (about 2 tablespoons of the diluted mixture to a half gallon of water...work up a foam in a sponge), greasy kitchen tools, etc. I use it on fabrics I'm not sure are colorfast...it does help. At home...it gets those pesky oil spots out of my cotton t-shirts...and spray and wash does not do that.
I also have synthropol (sic)...and use it sometimes...at home (I hand wash at the store).
