Same here. The pretty coral one matches my kitchen, but the blue is handy to have.

See the many uses for Blue Dawn besides dishwashing. Happy sudsing.

Blue Dawn all the way!! It's grease cutting abilities makes it good for our pipes as well! :-)

The first formula dried my hands but I tried it years later and I only use it now. There’s often a coupon for it in the Sunday paper.

Blue Dawn forever.

Blue Dawn -- get it at Costco. Will have to see how it works on bleeding fabric since I am having issues with some batiks that I have washed and washed....

I keep some Blue Dawn around for those DIY recipes.

Green Palmolive for me, also switched from blue Dawn!

Blue Dawn forever.

Dawn blue, unless I can't get it. If the store is out, I'll get the lavender or whatever color of Dawn they have.

😳 What are you cooking?? 🤣

Years ago, when hubby and I were first married and on a tight budget, his mother came for a visit, and we went grocery shopping together. I adore her and she adores me, and we play this fun game where we try to see who can annoy the other most. First one to crack and start cussing the other person out loses. As we walked down the aisle in the store, I picked up a discount brand of soap. She told me I should buy Dawn instead. I asked why, she said "Because it's what they use to wash the ducks when there's an oil spill." I said "Well I'm not planning on washing any ducks anytime soon, are you???" Lol. I love that old bat.

Blue dawn for everything , My theory is if it is safe enough to clean oil slicked birds in, its safe enough to clean anything I have around here

Blue Dawn Original. There is another Dawn that is blue but not the Original. The new Dawn Power Spray is great for cooktops and air fryers.

I'll add one more or two.

Our rescue dog fell into the pond and came out a muddy mess. He was a 105 pounds of handsome to wash. DH grabbed the garden hose and I grabbed the blue dawn to the rescue. We never went back to the expensive dog shampoo for him.

I took 6 sunbrella sofa-cushion covers to the dry cleaner. The estimate was $30 each. Counter person said to wash in blue dawn, air dry to damp, and re-insert the cushions to dry. Worked well and saved my wallet.

I switched to blue dawn a couple of years ago at my daughters suggestion. My dishwasher died so I hand wash all dishes. I'm not really impressed with it. It is wonderful straight from the bottle for cleaning a lot of things. It has never cut grease very well for me. My glass lids for skillets are always smeared, never clean.

dawn all the way for so many years can't remember using any thing else. I have very oily hair and use it at least once a month to cut the oil and any thing else left from shampoo. I make sure I have a large bottle on hand and fill a small one by the sink.

I tried some Method dish soap because the scent sounded nice. Terrible stuff. I put in 4 pumps, 5 minutes later all the suds are gone. I think they sell it to people who wash dishes under running water instead of making a dishpan full of suds.

Did you know you can use Dawn in the dishwasher? I used it many times when I was out of dishwashing detergent. The baking soda keeps the detergent from sudsing.


Dishwashing Detergent Substitute

1/4 teaspoon liquid dish detergent and 1/2 teaspoon baking
soda dissolved in 1/2 cup warm water and poured into the
detergent cup(s) in the dishwasher. Works like a charm.

Oh dear lord do not tell my husband that! He put Dawn (by itself, and plenty of it!) in the dishwasher once years ago, because he thought they were interchangeable. I walked in the house and the suds were literally up to the ceiling and spilling out into the hallway. We laugh about it now, but I don't want to deal with that again!

Blue for me too. Altho we have a water softener, we have naturally hard water so I add a drop or so to my bath water and never have to clean up the tub when I'm done.

I use Blue dawn for everything from dishes to plugged toilets. Nothings does hard jobs better in my opinion.,

On recommendation, I switched to Seventh Generation due to allergy and dry hands issues. While I agree you might need more of it, the comfort level I experience now is worth having to use more.

LOL I was out of Cascade this morning. DH said he took container outside to use some in the power washer. He forgot to close the lid so the pods got wet and all melted. I used the dishwashing recipe with Dawn. Dishes are clean and no sudsing.
Don't use more then the recipe calls for.

That brings back memories of a time my husband used dishwashing liquid in the dishwasher. Omg! Suds galore, all over the place LOL. I don't know if I trust your recipe, Onebyone. I have PTSD of that day haha!

I'll give that a try ,for over 15 years I've used Dawn,and started getting dried skin at my knuckles so bad they hurt.Don't know what caused this, but I switched to Palmolive and it was cleared up in 2 days. I have a dishwasher but only use it when I have company. I still use Dawn for removing stains in the wash,though.

I have a dishwasher but only use it when I have company.

That cracked me up. LOL I use mine if only the top rack has few dishes. At my age I do what is easy. I have saved enough power and water doing dishes by hand for years so I'm using it up now.

Dawn is the only way to go.

growing up we had either Blue Dawn or Green Palmolive at every sink in the house, it was way cheaper than the hand soap https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/smile.png I've inherited that and we've got Method dish soap for hands at all the sinks (we like the scents) and Blue Dawn Platinum for the dishes (mostly knives and the odd pot that I'd rather wash than wait for another dishwasher load.) For showers and tubs: Dawn, vinegar, and a touch of cornstarch equals almost no scrubbing! I've heard the Dawn Powerwash is also fantastic for showers and tubs.

I use my dishwasher every day - for storage. It came with the apt. I rent. Not sure why they put it in an apt. for one person. I would rather have more cabinet space. I store plastic containers, foil, cling film, wax paper, etc. in there.

I use Dawn and also use it in the laundry room. Good to assist in getting stains out of the laundry. Doesn't take much so
don't get carried away or you will have suds everywhere. lol ask me how I know!!!

I also use Dawn but does anyone remember the commercial with Madge as the manicurist soaking them client’s nails in Palmolive?

oh yes I remember that one
