I purchased this product for use in a commercial restaurant environment. I compared the price per ounce of this product with US Foods, Sysco, and Restaurant Depot. If you place a single order of this item, it is a few dollars cheaper than through any of the aforementioned distributors. If you sign up for a monthly delivery through Amazon, you will save even more. This product is concentrated, and works much better than competitor's products. It is noticeably better Dawn's regular non-ultra detergent, too. I use this product in a wall-mounted, refillable liquid soap dispenser (the same type you use for handsoap). This helps to control how much is dispensed each time. Overall, great product, and best value I've found. Read more
I've used Dawn Original for years and liked it very much. I picked up Dawn Platinum late in 2013 and after 3 months I've used less than Dawn Original and my dishes, silverware, glasses, mugs pots and pans all very clean. BUT my hands are getting dried out when I use it. I don't use an automatic dishwasher, just the two manual ones at the end of my arms! During the winter I like to use my Slow Cooker . Anyone who is a slow cooking fan knows it can be a challenge to clean the pot or crock used. Using Dawn Ultra for Soaking loosens stubborn food considerably in a couple of hours. I think it is not quite as effective as Dawn Platinum but still an effective soak. The scent of Dawn Ultra Original Scent is not unpleasant and is mild. Platinum's scent is more mild and for me less is better. Both Dawn Ultra and Platinum require less product than Original in my experience. Less frequent purchases save shopping time and money. Both a plus. The biggest differences for me between Dawn Ultra and Platinum are Platinum drying out my hands and Platinum may be better for soaking. In the summer when I'm not soaking as much I think Dawn Ultra is the best choice. Less drying out for the hands. In winter it's much closer. Ultra is a bit better as a soak. I think Dawn Platinum and Ultra are very close in terms of cleaning. Both are an improvement over Dawn's Original formula dish washing liquid and worth a try. Hope this helps someone. Read more
