Platinum Dawn Dish Soap, Rain Scent, 32.7 fl oz

Dawn is the dishwashing liquid of champions. This stuff will cut through grease and grime like it's nothing, and it's gentle enough to be used on oil spill victims like birds. That says something about its quality and how gentle it'll be on your hands while washing dishes, too. I don't have a dishwasher, so I tend to soak dishes in hot water with this Dawn soap. For the toughest messes, I'll give it around 20-30 minutes of a soak but honestly just 5-10 minutes will do it most of the time. My dishes come out very clean with no residue. This stuff is super easy to use and powerful. The 32oz bottle goes a long way and is a great value size that'll last a long time. It doesn't take much Dawn to get the job done. This is the platinum version of Dawn, so it's a lot more powerful at cleaning than the original Dawn. The color is also a much deeper blue hue, to differentiate it from the normal stuff. The fresh rain scene is pretty light and barely noticeable to me, which is good since I don't really want fragrances on my dishes. Overall, great stuff! The only dishwashing liquids I'll ever use are from Dawn!

Dawn is simply the best dish wash soap. Minimal scrubbing for maximum clean. I fill a sink reservoir which I installed myself along with a chef faucet. But there is never anyway to tell how full it is until it runs out. This soap is easy to dispense into the opening compared with the newer dispensing pump caps which are notorious for being impossible to remove in order to do so. I also use Dawn gentle to bath my senior kidney fail kitty.

I keep coming back to Dawn Platinum because it works, and that’s what matters when you’re standing at the sink. The 32.7 fl oz bottle is a great size. It’s big enough to last a while but still easy to hold and squeeze with one hand. No leakage and easy to use. The formula is thick and concentrated, but I use more than I should, lol. It cuts through grease fast, especially on pans with oil or butter stuck to them, and I don’t have to keep reapplying soap to my sponge. The Fresh Rain scent smells good. It’s pleasant while washing and doesn’t cling to dishes after rinsing. It costs a bit more than generic brands, but it lasts longer and performs better, so I don’t mind repurchasing. Pros • A little goes a long way • Breaks down grease quickly • Thick formula that doesn’t slide off the sponge • Smells good • 32.7 fl oz bottle lasts weeks Cons • More expensive than store brands • Can dry out hands if you wash dishes often

This dish soap does a solid job cleaning everyday dishes. It cuts through grease quickly, even on pans and baked-on food, and a small amount goes a long way. I like the fresh scent—it’s clean without being too strong. The soap rinses off easily and doesn’t leave a film on glasses or plates. On the downside, it can be a bit drying on my hands if I wash dishes without gloves, especially in winter. I also wish the bottle had a pump for easier use. Overall, it’s an effective, affordable dish soap that handles daily kitchen messes reliably and gets the job done!

I’m not easily impressed by dish soap, but Dawn Platinum earns its name. It cuts through the kind of messes that usually mean “let it soak overnight” — bacon grease film, baked-on casserole corners, air-fryer baskets, stainless pans after searing, even cloudy plastic containers that hold onto food smells. With this, I’m seeing clean, squeaky-rinse results in minutes, not hours. What stands out Serious degreasing power: A pea-sized drop breaks down oil instantly. On heavy pans, two drops in hot water turns brown, greasy water clear as it lifts everything off. Suds that last: The bubbles don’t give up halfway through a sink of dishes; I’m not stopping to re-soap the sponge every few minutes. Rinses clean: No slick residue. Glassware dries without that hazy film, and plastic doesn’t stay “slippery.” Hard-water friendly: I have moderately hard water and still get a strong, stable lather and spotless rinse. Multi-purpose: Beyond dishes, it’s great for stovetop splatters, cabinet handles, range hood filters, and even pre-treating grease on work clothes (test fabrics first). Real-world wins Air fryer baskets & racks: Grease lacquer that usually needs scrubbing melts after a 5-minute soak. Sheet pans & casserole dishes: Corners and baked sugars release with a quick swipe of a scrubber. Blender gaskets & lids: Cuts smoothie oils without leaving a scent behind. How it compares Cheaper soaps need a lot more product and still leave a squeakless film. With Platinum, a little goes a long way, so the bottle lasts longer than the price tag suggests. Performance is closer to a degreaser than a standard dish liquid. Things to know (honest nits) It’s thick. That’s great for power, but the bottle opening can dispense more than you need if you squeeze hard. The fragrance is “clean” but noticeable; if you’re scent-sensitive, you’ll pick it up while washing (it doesn’t linger on dishes). Because it’s concentrated, over-using it can mean extra rinsing — use tiny amounts and you won’t have that issue. Tips for best results Micro-dose it. Start with a small drop on the sponge; add more only if suds collapse. Power soak: For baked-on gunk, a sink of hot water + 1–2 teaspoons of Platinum for 5–10 minutes saves elbow grease. Foaming pump hack: Cut with water (about 1:3 soap to water) in a foaming dispenser for quick wipe-downs and to stretch the bottle. Pre-treat fabric grease: Dab a tiny bit on stains, gently rub, let sit 5 minutes, then launder (spot-test first). Bottom line If you want a dish soap that actually breaks grease instead of just moving it around, Dawn Platinum is the one. It’s fast, efficient, and leaves everything truly clean. Use it sparingly and it becomes cost-effective, too. Five stars without hesitation.
