Dawn Ultra Antibacterial Hand Soap, Dishwashing Liquid Dish Soap, Apple Blossom Scent, 28 fl oz

Don't overlook the fact that this product, unlike most dish detergents, has two different uses:1.) Washing dishes; and:2.) Washing hands.(Read the fine print on the front label.)So it seems to offer an extra measure of protection during the pandemic—assuming, that is, that an anti-BACTERIAL hand soap has any practical utility at all as an anti-VIRAL agent! (Am I presuming too much?)But, frankly, I only use it occasionally for handwashing, usually just when returning home after having been out and about, and having touched numerous surfaces or objects. It's really just too harsh to use on my skin for every handwashing, especially in the colder, dryer months.And, of course, a very thorough handwashing with plain old bar soap, and lots of water, is probably just as efficacious. (I recommend DOVE for the cold, dry months, for protecting skin.)As for dishwashing, this version of Dawn does seem to have the same grease-cutting power of its blue-colored sibling (which isn't touted as an antibacterial hand soap)—with the great advantage of having a much more pleasant fragrance. (I can't stand the smell of that blue stuff!)But whether this product's "apple blossom scent" is true to life, I couldn't say. (And I grew up in a house that had two big apple trees in the yard—but I have no recollection of the fragrance of those flowers.) I think this particular Dawn scent could reasonably be characterized as industrially-concocted and well within the normal spectrum of fragrances found in American household cleaning products.But the product is pricey. (So I generally get by just fine mostly washing dishes with Dermassage—which has its own very innocuous fragrance.)

Not sure of the long term environmental impact, but it’s worked for us for years for nearly everything

My favorite scent of dawn by far. The smell is strong but in a good way, it smells sooooo good like a batch of apples. Definitely my go-to cleaning liquid when it's in stock.

This soap gets rid of grease and oils very well. Added benefit is that it’s antibacterial. This product works and is gentle on skin if you don’t over use it.

It was only during the Pandemic 2020 when I realized that the packaging read HAND SOAP, DISH SOAP!!! LolInuse this to refill my liquid siap bottle in the bathroom as well as the one in the kitchen.
