I think any soapy water will work if you soak the dish in it. I haven't used Dawn in many years. This has been my favorite for a long time because it is environmentally friendly, gentle on skin and it works!

I have only used Dawn dish soap exclusively for 11 years. My hands have been really cracked and bleeding this winter, so I finally decided to give Seventh Generation a try. I am THRILLED!!!! It worked WELL on the grease from pan frying chicken tenders. I didn't have to scrub our add more soap. I let it doesn maybe 15 min. I have found it to be VERY gentle on my skin too. I liked it so much I bought 4 more bottles, so I don't run out.

I find it to be as effective as Dawn, which is what I used solely before. It does a great job at getting grease off of pots and pans.

I'd say it works a bit more than half as well as Dawn. It's thinner and doesn't last nearly as long even though I use more, but while it lasts it does work well.

Other than it doesn't smell like French Brothel I think it's the same or even better!

I switched to this product from Dawn (after using Method for a short while in there too) - I much prefer this soap over Dawn. It smells nice, it works extremely well, and it's not jammed full of disgusting scents that stay on your utensils. I had to through away a set of silicone egg cups because I could NOT get the Dawn scent out of them. This product does an excellent job without the nastiness.

It is excellent at cleaning dishes that have sat around all night. I would say that it is infinitely better than Dawn.

Doesn't work anywhere near as well as Dawn. I just switched back from Seventh Generation to Dawn because I used up an entire bottle of this stuff in no time. I cook all the time and depend on my dish soap to do the scrubbing of my pots and pans for me, which this product didn't do. I had to use twice as much soap for less than half the effect.

SGDL is concentrated enough to be able to dissolve caked on food with the right amount of hot / or cold water (depending on the particular food). I can't compare the effectiveness of Seventh Generation dish liquid to Dawn because I don't use Dawn, but Seventh Generation has no synthetic ingredients.

It cleans very easily and remains white and bright. You can even put it in the dishwasher, I did and it cleaned pretty well. I did remove a few spots it missed, but it was easy.

You can use the Dish washing soap is fine. We have have been using it since we bought and everything is fine.

I haven't had any trouble at all. I usually just rinse it and have found that it cleans very easily with no need for scrubbing. Never have used dishwasher. I used it at least 2x/wk and have had it for several months.

Yes, I wash dishes with it all the time. I was cooking sauce the other day and splashed some on the apron. When it dried I just wiped it off with a damp cloth. This is a great apron.

It will get stained, no way around it. I just use dish soap and the same scrubber I use on the dishes.

It's not bad to clean. I just rinse it and wipe it quickly with a sponge. I only use it for protein so it kinda has a lingering smell of protein but it's better than over washing it. Don't do that because it battery powered and it might mess it up. The bottom that covers the batteries is pretty tight though so quick rinses shouldn't mess it up. I use mine everyday twice a day and it still works great after about 2-3 months.

Very easy to clean. I use a damp dishcloth. I do wash the tray with warm sudsy water after each use as I am a germ freak. Everything is plastic, even the restraining belt, so it's easy to clean. With spaghetti sauce, you should probably clean that off after the meal as you would anyway. I haven't noticed any permanent staining.

I find it very easy to clean either by hand with a good dish soap or in the dishwasher. Some parts are top rack only, but that's not a problem:)

I use Dawn dishwashing soap and rinse with hot water to remove detergent and residue.

I have not cleaned it in a dishwasher as at this time (I am remodeling now for one!) I am doing dishes by hand. BUT.... it sure looks like it would be fine. It is a good hard plastic and stainless so it should be fine. I clean it now with a little Comet when I clean my sink. I love it.. it looks cute and it does its job!

I use a damp cloth. If needed, use just a speck of dish detergent but be sure to thoroughly remove all the soap

I use this plastic bristle brush and it works great to remove any stuck on food: OXO Good Grips Dish Brush. I bought one for $5 as an add-on item in Sep 2014. My pan is well seasoned at this point and usually just needs a pass or two with the bristles. If there is anything more stubborn I use the plastic scraper on the brush head to dislodge. Also, using very hot water during cleanup (I wear dish gloves) works wonders. Then dry off with a paper towel and store. My pan is one of the easiest items to clean up! I don't use dish soap.

I have not had any problems with mine. I clean it every once in a while with light dish soap, but that is all!

Hi,I use dish detergent. For stubborn use fine steel wool or SOS pads that have soap in them. The pads do not seem to scratch the surface but I have noticed that metal spoons, spatulas do. I use Pam cooking spray before I cook in this beautiful baker. We cooked a prime rib in it Christmas eve. Easy clean up for stainless steel.

Mine came off easily and the residue came off with warm soapy water. If its that sticky on yours you can always try a drop of goo gone that you can pick up from home depot or Lowe's. I only had an issue with one pan but after a few scrubs with dish soap it came off completely.

I clean it with a soft cloth and dish soap. I run it through dishwadher about every third use. This has worked well for me.
