Dawn dish soap is simply unbeatable
We ran trials in my middle school home economics class on various popular dish soap brands, and at the time (23 years ago) Palmolive absolutely blasted the shit out of every other brand, Dawn included. So my wife and kid now ride or die with that brand. It's green, too..
It smells and feels awful, though.
That's what Consumer Reports concluded as well, when they independently bought and tested all the brands.
Dawn doesn’t seem to dry out my hands like Palmolive or every other dish soap. I think they all work good enough but I hate the way they make my hands feel.
Interesting. I have a huge jug of Palmolive at home because it was the cheapest dish soap. Didn't expect it to also be the best. I'm curious, what did you measure to determine that it was the best one?
I don't remember precisely what properties we scored it on, but we had cooked a very messy/crusty/greasy meal of some sort, and afterward we washed the pans with two or three leading dish soaps. I think Joy was the third. Anyway, Palmolive seemed to perform the best overall at cutting through grease and grime in fewer passes. I know there were other aspects to it, but it was just too long ago to recall. I never forgot how impressed I was with Palmolive, though. And it's green!
This was my answer dawn is the shizz
