A friend turned me on to blue dawn for removing grease spatters in clothing, said her husband did the laundry and he swears by it. I have it in a pointy tip bottle from a perm and give each squirt a quick swipe with an old toothbrush. I seldom see a bottle of dawn listed as blue, but often see the ones that say platinum. The color I see is blue. I even water it down and put in a pump bottle for hand washing in bath and kitchen. I think all of the liquid soaps are drying to hands. I do miss the clean smell of good old Ivory Soap.
