I'll give it a try. Not sure what the difference is compared to traditional Dawn Platinum aside from a different shaped bottle 🤨

Yup. I've been reusing/refilling the same bottle. It's a very subtle yet very convenient.

Note: 50+ oz jugs are on sale every now and then on Amazon/Walmart/Target. Perfect for refills.

I honestly can't figure out what folks are doing with their dishes that they'd need "better" dish soap than the Ajax we use. It would take using nearly twice as much at this discounted price to break even, and I very much doubt we're doing that. Our dishwasher does a great job with Walmart's brand of powder detergent, too, no expensive brands needed.

With that said, I do buy these whenever they're on sale because we have a DIY laundry spray for spot treatment that uses Dawn Platinum and an enzyme cleaner concentrate. There's something to the idea that Dawn is more effective on grease / oil / stains, I just don't know that it's necessary for dishes.

No, it's like a squirt bottle, but it's a smaller amount with each squirt, imho nod

Thx, op, tu, and repped and shared. I tried the regular recently in this style, and like it because, imho, you can better control the squirt portion amount. nod

I absolutely hate the smell of this particular scent. It smell like laundry detergent and there is just something very triggering about washing dishes and having that associated with dirty laundry

Because Dawn products are very effective for hand washing of dishes. Ajax might be great for that pre rinse before the dishwasher but Dawn is king / queen of dish soap.

All soaps have different levels of effectiveness per drop size and i.dont see anything coming close per volume.

My opinion is that Dawn is a flagship product at affordable prices.

Either I was unclear or you misunderstood: I hand-wash with Ajax.

I'm not sure what you're envisioning, but I have a scrub brush (bristles) and a blue scrub pad. I put two or three drops on whichever I'm using and then proceed to clean many dishes with it. I don't like filling up a sink because that wastes more water than how I do it.

I literally dodn't know how Dawn could be better the way I clean dishes. A few drops less over the course of an entire meal's worth of dishes...maybe? It certainly isn't going to make the dishes easier to clean because they're not hard now (admittedly, I don't let food dry on dishes and I soak anything that might be challenging).

This very much seems like a "I use Dawn because my habits necessitate a more effective soap" type thing.

I used the dishwasher detergent as an example of how I also don't need something expensive there, either

Laundry? Big container of Sam's Club brand powder (though I admitted to using diluted Dawn as a pre-treat spray).

Maybe it's my water that makes all of my stuff come clean quickly and easily with the "cheap" stuff? No softener, but our water isn't hard, either.

To each their own. I guess I'll consider myself lucky that my habits and situation give me clean dishes for a quarter of the cost and no additional work.

You mentioned having a dishwasher. So I assumed you used that.

I use Dawn because it works. That's it.

Ajak vs Dawn testing
Dawn and Ajax dish soaps differ primarily in grease-cutting strength, thickness, and price, with Dawn offering superior concentrated degreasing and Ajax providing a more budget-friendly clean. [1, 2, 3]
Cleaning Performance and Formula
  • Grease Cutting: Dawn consistently ranks higher in professional tests for breaking down heavy oils and baked-on grime with fewer drops.
  • Suds and Viscosity: Dawn features a thicker formula that holds suds longer, whereas Ajax is thinner but still creates active medium-sized bubbles to cut through light grease.
  • Value: Ajax generally costs less per ounce, making it an economical choice for everyday light dishwashing needs. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
