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.

No issues with soap here. We use 7th generation dish soap. I did notice that one of them is a bit stained from spaghetti sauce.

I wash the trunk with soap each time I use it and run it in the dish washer every couple of days. This is clean by my standards.

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.

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.

Yes! I love this item. It works well, suction holds a small bottle of dish soap and sponges. Once a month I do wash it with bleach water to clean off any mildew and it looks new again

I do not think so. I am not ridiculously picky about my dishes--I just want them to be clean and not have soapy residue left on them when the cycle finishes. When I use this stuff, my dishes are clean, my dishwasher doesn't have any problems, and there is no soapy residue. So all good for me, but I guess you would have to try for yourself :)

I have had no trouble cleaning it. Because the parts are small, I've soaked it in a pan of soapy water but it could also easily fit into a closed dishwasher basket.

The directions say not to put it in the dishwasher. It rinses off mostly with warm water and maybe a very mild soap. It cleans easily.

I purchased the oil-rubbed bronze and it came with a warning not to use strong cleaners or abrasives. The finish stays clean by simply wiping with a sponge or cloth. You can also use the dish soap you would use when hand-washing dishes.

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.

Mine actually just started clogging and I have used it with exclusively dawn dish soap. I think you do need to use their soap to prevent clogging!

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

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

I use Dawn liquid for washing dishes in the sink and it works perfectly. If you are using it for hand washing I expect any liquid hand soap would work fine, but I would not use those include that have grains for hard scrubbing.

We clean ours with a non abrasive sponge cleaner that holds soap. The scrubbing brushes that hold soap in the handle work fine.
