how is it at cleaning backed on food from dishes . and how would this stand up to Dawn dish soap ?

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.

I love mine I just use a damp clean dishcloth and whipe it off after every use. Just a damp cloth not to wet. Hope this helps you.

Like another customer replied, I too use it for Dawn brand liquid dish soap. Works fine and is perfect for when I need to wash only a couple of dishes and also great for use in the RV, where you don't want to waste water by filling a sink with dishwater. Much cheaper than buying the foaming version of Dawn. I didn't water it down quite as much as the marks on the bottle indicate to do. However, that ratio is really dependent on both your preferences and the soap used. For example, I have another bottle on order for another brand of soap I use (a liquid castile soap) that only requires a single droplet for hand washing. I figure I'll have to water it down more than the indicator marks show. Like another customer replied, I too use it for Dawn brand liquid dish soap.

Besides putting it in the dishwasher, I'm puzzled about it still feeling greasy after washing. I am in total agreement, with the ones that recommended Dawn dish soap. It's really the best, for so many things. That and good hot water.

I have been using a bit of dish soap, sponge and warm water. Being stainless steel, I figure that should work okay and have not seen any problems with it.

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

I clean mine with regular Dawn dish soap and warm/hot water. Comes out like a charm. Then either towel dry or stand/lean on other dishes to air dry.

I use Dawn dish soap, and hand wash all my dishes, they have rust spots on them. Had them less than a month, light use.

I have a little brush that I picked up at General Dollar Store, it hold dish washing detergent. I use my bacon tray and leave it in the sink soaking in dish detergent for about 2 hours then scrub with this brush. Look clean enough to eat off it.

I have used the dawn dishwashing liquid on rough side of sponge with good results.

I love my soap Cruet. I leave it out on the sink for fast use. I have broken one, you have to remember it is glass. But that is what I love about it. I do use it for dishwashing soap. As soon as I broke my old one, I replaced it. That is how much I love it.

I used a Dawn dish soap soak because our all natural cleaner wouldn't get the marina stain off. It took a few times cleaning it, but it is no longer stained with marinara. Hope this helps.

It cleans off easily with my normal scrubber sponge. I wash it right after eating. It's stainless steel. If anything got stuck you could spray it with oven cleaner, but the tray underneath is harder to clean so I put non-stick aluminum foil down. Easy!

So far so good. I have had mine for several months and have washed it both by hand and in the dishwasher. I'm trying to wash it mostly by hand for fear of the design coming off, but my kids do the dishes so I often find it after it had been through the washer.

The easiest way to clean it is once you're done using it (like exactly afterwards), you need to put Dawn dishwashing soap (or whatever dish soap you use) and water in it and shake it for at least 4-5 minutes. This will keep it clean but just remember to fill it with soap and water after use. It also wouldn't hurt to let the bottle soak in the soap and water either.

I have a 4 part recipe that is better than any dishsoap I've ever used: 1 tsp Bronner's Sal Suds, 1 tsp Arm&Hammer; washing soda, 1 tsp baking soda and 1/2 cup white vinegar poured in the bottom of the machine. Yeah it's extra trouble but it's safe, natural and dishes come out shiny and spotless!

I add it to a full loaf of dishes, so I just use the regular dish washing soap. Sometimes there is a little soap residue left on the cap, but just brush it off when the cap is dry
