I have been using Dawn Direct Foam Dishwashing Foam since it came out. It is highly effective in removing grease from dishes and pot & pans. It is gentle enough to use for washing hands ex. after buttering a baking dish or buttering corn. A convenient side benefit is having grease free drains. I also like that the company supports wildlife protection. They donate product used for wildlife rescue after oil spills. Dawn is so gentle, the birds are unharmed, grease free and ready to resume their lives.
