20 Best Dish Soap For Grease (2023 Updated)

I wish I would have tried this sooner. At age 50 I wanted to get out of my rut and try new things. The dish soap I had used since the 1970s was ruining the skin on my hands, I could no longer wash dishes without gloves on.

I tried a few other dish soap brands, and they were ok, I just had to work a little harder to get the same results. Then I tried Joy, the lemon scent is so pleasant, and this stuff gets the dishes sparkling clean with hardly any effort.

Then I got bold and put some in a small spray bottle with some water and started cleaning beyond the dishes in the sink, this stuff is great all over the kitchen, and the bathroom. And no toxic fumes! I just rince well afterwards.

I have always wiped down the kitchen with dishwater after the dishes at the end of the day, but Joy works better at cutting the grease everywhere. It works great at mopping the floor too. I do believe that my search for something new to clean with is over, I will be buying this from now on.

Thank you Joy team for such a wonderful product. Please keep making this for decades to come. And one question, why have you not been advertising Joy dishsoap in the last few decades? Just run some of your old commercials, those are already paid for anyways.

And if I remember correctly, they were good commercials. Were you the ones that advertised you only need a spoonful of your dishsoap to clean a sink full of dishes, plus a stack? :-).

I still like this old brand better than any other. However, I forgot to check the size of these bottles. My local grocery store only stocks the huge size, and so I was surprised to find when I opened the package that these bottles are quite small.

Not the bargain for the price I thought I was getting! My fault for not looking at the ounces. But I do like having a smaller size bottle in my kitchen that I can refill from a larger bottle later. So I’m looking on the bright side.

Anyway, product is good, but price not so much. Oh, well. I’ll use it, for sure. Live and learn! :

With natural citrus extracts. Droopy has a secret! He adds natural citrus extracts to every bottle of Joy. Joy’s Citrus Shine Formula gives you: Beautiful, shiny dishes. Clean, refreshing scent. Rich, abundant suds that last and last.

Put a little Joy in your life! Ultra Joy contains biodegradable anionic and nonionic surfactants and no phosphate. Made in U. S. A.

I love that the refill comes in a bag, although the first time I tried to refill my soap bottle, I lost my grip on the bag, the bottle fell over, and half the soap came out. Be sure to grip the side well! Scents on all of these are nice.

Not too strong, just subtle. I do wish that the product would be more concentrated, though, which is why I gave it 4 stars. I feel like I go through quite a bit of soap when washing the dishes. Still recommend and I do buy this often in a variety of the scents available.

I have this in a dispenser at my sink and my husband has not complained at all. Believe me he would if he didn’t like something. My husband drives a semi truck and does quite a bit of mechanical work for himself.

This works on his dirty hands! If it can do that well. Then to say it does well on all of my bakeware, as well as on all of the other oily, and dried egg dishes I have the pleasure of washing, is just being modest.

I love the fact that I can also recycle the pouch with my other Grove refill packages!.

Used to love and buy this product on the regular. Unfortunately I feel somewhere along the way something changed. Well the scent is great (love it!) And they are a much more eco friendly option, the clean it gives just isn’t what it used to be.

I found myself using more of the soap just to get a simple job done. Combine that with the fact I had multiple issues with the pump it is a product I decided to discontinue purchasing.

Dawn is my go-to cleaning product. I love it for dishes, but I also use it to clean my bathroom sinks, showers, tubs, and floors. It keeps everything wonderfully clean and sparkling. If extra cleaning is needed, I just add a little vinegar to my Dawn + water and it takes care of any challenging dirt or soap scum.

I have ultra sensitive skin and allergies so really appreciate the excellent cleaning properties without harsh chemicals. I would also add that Dawn worked wonders when my indoor pets got fleas. I gave them a bath in Dawn and the fleas were taken care of.

I also followed some online recommendation for using Dawn in the washer for bedding to ensure any fleas were killed. It called for small amounts like a tablespoon or two per load. It was a lot of work to get rid of the fleas, but the Dawn worked successfully without my having to use harsh chemicals.

I have used Dawn for years. Always trusted it would get grease off anything I needed cleaned. I wanted the big jug so I didn’t have to buy it as often, and I could repurpose the jug. Seemed like a win win.

First bottle I filled was the thick Dawn I was use to. As the jug emptied, the soap seemed to get thinner and less effective. I was using more than ever just to get suds in my dish water. Plastic bowls held onto their grease unless I squirted more into each bowl.

Yesterday was the last straw. I cooked a Boston butt in my crockpot. My bowls I used when shredding had to be washed 3 separate times in scalding hot water just to degrease them. I was putting my crockpot away after it dried and I had a ring of white grease around the lid.

It had also been scrubbed 3 times. I was livid. I don’t know what happened to a cleaner I use to swear by, but I won’t be fooled again.

This is incentivised and I have received this product free for testing purposes and in exchange for an honest review. It’s complimentary but I will be providing my true opinions…. the good, the bad and lovely! On first appearance the product is very clearly labelled and I can tell instantly what the product is, scent and the product appears to be very garden inspired.

I’d say the bottle feels good, it doesn’t feel cheap and flimsy. I’m not struck on the label design but that doesn’t affect my judgement of the product itself. Using the soap was a very pleasurable experience.

The scent was insane! It smells so so much like I’d only just handpicked some fresh lavender. It’s a fairly strong scent whilst your using it so if your not the biggest fan of lavender scents I’d suggest this won’t be something you’ll enjoy.

However, once you rinse it off, your left with a much milder but beautiful lingering fragrance on your hands. It’s definitely very obvious to me that the scent was garden inspired. It lathers up really nice and left my hands feeling very clean after.

I’d definitely recommend this product and I personally look forward to trying more products from this brand.

My favorite hand soap! (I also love the dishwashing soap and laundry soap) Doesn’t dry out my skin and definitely cleans well. As far as scents, you either love them or can’t stand them. Too bad the don’t sell a sample set of scents! My absolute favorites are seasonal, so only available certain times of the year.

Iowa Pine, it really does harken back to winter in Iowa and bringing in wood for the fire. Apple Cider, a clean fall scent not too cloying with just a hint of spice. Fresh Cut Grass, light, crisp, and green without being floral.

Rose, definitely floral but not a heavy damask rose, more like a Wild Rose, light and fresh. Most other scents I am fine with, but some just make me CRINGE. Acorn Spice, Orange Clove are so strong and cloying, the smell like moldy Christmas potpourri.

Compassion Flower reminds me of Middle School gym in the 90s, White Rain hairspray and Electric Youth, and the scent never fades from your hands. Mint is not like any mint I’ve grown or smelled or tasted, I’m not sure what it’s trying to be.

Luckily, there are enough scent options for everyone to find something they enjoy!.

I’ve been using Mrs. Meyer’s natural cleaning products for almost 20 years now. I have a handful that are included in my favorites but most of them I can pass by. The Mrs. Meyer’s Lavender Hand Soap comes in a 12.

5 fluid ounce bottle with a pump dispenser. It contains components listed only as: plant-derived cleaning ingredients, essential oils, aloe vera extract, glycerin, and olive oil. The label also points out that it does NOT contain parabens, phthalates, MEA, DEA, or artificial colors.

I’ve bought this hand soap at Target, at the local grocery store, and online directly from the company. It is reasonably priced and a little goes a long way. One thing that has always struck me about the Mrs.

Meyer’s “lavender” scent is that it has never hit my senses that way. If you did a blind test on me I’d describe it more like an apple pie or sweet apple fragrance. In any case I do like this product and usually have a bottle of it somewhere in my life either in the kitchen, in the bathroom, or at the sink at work.

I definitely will be buying it again and suggest that you check it out.

This soap is awesome love it so much. Love the squeaky clean sound I get off the dishes. Hands feel soft after use. However, only down fall is I hand wash all my dishes (I do not own a dishwasher) Family of 3 we cook almost all our meals.

Received bar Thursday, so Friday filled my sink and for once excitedly wash my dishes. Impresses right off the bat. The kicker is I noticed my bar of soap quickly disappearing. Monday now and a weekend of dishwashing I only have a quarter of a bar left if that.

Love that’s it’s made in usa. Think this would be great for those with a dishwasher and wash by hand only occasionally. I did buy 2 bars, next one I am going to try the old method of a soap cage.

I never thought I would use a bar soap to wash dishes but I do now. I rub the bar soap against the European dishcloth and wash dishes and pans and silverware and glasses. It’s easy to rinse out of the dishcloth.

I love the way it tackles grease that’s on plates and pots and pans. It just wipes them away. After I’ve washed the dishes I wash my hands with this dish soap because it makes my hands soft as it has shea butter in it.

I would like to recommend that they make it in different scents so we can have more choices. Thank you.

In wanting to go plastic free myself, I gave this soap a try buying it twice. I like the scent and the concept. However, I have noticed that my sink gets much dirtier very quick (due to the film that other reviewers have mentioned).

The soap has also been causing the top scrubber portion of the walnut sponge to separate from the rest of the sponge, which I’ve never experienced before. As much as I like the concept and want to contribute to the cause, I won’t purchase this one again.

But I am hopeful for the grove refillable dish soap in the aluminum containers, which I am trying in my next order.

Lemon Verbena. I can already smell it. I am obsessed with this scent and honestly, it doesn’t matter how hard other companies will try, they will not get closer to the scent from Mrs. Meyer’s. Trust me, I’ve tried.

This will leave your hands with a fresh scent, and it is super gentle on your skin. My kids love it! Olive Oil and Aloe Vera are two wonderful ingredients that I look forward to when buying a good quality product, plus the scent of it, makes it a wonderful combination.

Also, the pump works great, you can kind of control how much soap you want with the pressure you put into it, and it doesn’t over shoot soap making you waste a good product, if that makes sense. This is also a truly cruelty free product, meaning they don’t test finished products or ingredients on animals, and neither do their suppliers or any third-parties.

They also don’t sell their products where animal testing is required by law which makes it even more wonderful if you care for this cause. If you haven’t tried it, it’s time to do it. Don’t forget to check it out their multi surface spray as well! You will not regret it!.

Obviously it’s a great dish soap, it’s MM, and obviously it’s also gonna smell amazing. just think of pinup vintage rose fragrance dish soap. I think this is a classic feminine scent anytime of year but particularly springtime (this would be pretty nice for Valentine’s also).

I’ve also tried the spray, awesome. The Daisy scent (yellow) is also quite nice. Almost all of MM products smell like low to mid range premium fragrances imo. You can’t go wrong with the cleaning power, I just love switching up the scents, rotating through several different scents every couple days.

Although they seem quite expensive, I dilute it with 1/3 to 1/2 distilled water when I have room in the bottle and it makes it last even longer but still cleans pretty good for maintenance jobs (i use undiluted for grungier stuff but it’s pretty freaking concentrated to begin with).

Honestly why not choose this over Lysol or Clorox? they’re about the same price but this one smells so much better with ingredients you can feel more comfortable with.

I had the extreme pleasure of using this particular product at the home of my patient. The members of this household do not rinse their dishes or the cookware after using them. When I would go and do a shift once or twice a week, there would be a tremendous mountain of filthy, smelly, putrid dishes.

I’m sharing this to illustrate the strength of the LEMI – SHINE dish soap. My patient pointed out that she got this new bottle that she was told about because the other stuff was not working very well and I would spend my entire shift at that kitchen sink.

I have to soak dishes because I am not going to scrub until my arm falls off. With hot water, and 1 teaspoon of this stuff, I was able to let it soak for about 10 minutes and did more dishes then you could possibly imagine and they came out sparkling clean, Smelling fresh and looking beautiful.

I was even able to clean the counters and the top of the stove and again, these are filthy people. This is the best testimony for a cleansing product that I can possibly imagine. I would highly recommend this product to anyone.

I wanted to get some for myself but they discontinued it at the local target so I’ve been looking in other places so I could buy some!.

I love the LemiShine dishwasher additive so l felt l should branch out some and try the other products. l love this dish soap!! lt doesn’t take much, softens the water and kills the grease crazy. Definitely will be a shopping list must! And the scent is pleasant.

No regrets!!.

I bought this because what I normally use was not available and it was at a deep discount. I was hesitant to use it before because the only thing that I could pronounce was citrus and I am picky. I absolutely love this product and now hope I can find it again.

I thought it would be scentless due to the packaging, but the scent is very pleasant. Not fake lemony like the non-natural competition but a very sweet lemon smell. I always use extra soap to make sure all of my dishes get super clean, but you only need just a dab of this.

It does a great job of cleaning all the grease with a little bit also. With my old detergent, I would sometimes wash twice to make sure all the grease was gone. With this detergent, a little dab washes all the grease away.

I got this to try a dish rinse with no fragrance. I would say it’s ok, but I have tried others so time will tell. It rinsed my dishes squeaky clean, and I will keep using it to really know if I would prefer it.

I loved that the dishes were not spotty like other products I have used. I would say try it for yourself and know it does well not to leave residue on your dishes. I just had to give it a try for myself and I have told my family to try it for themselves.

I looked long and hard for an unscented, gentle dishwashing detergent. This is it, and i use NOTHING else! ! We have issues in our family from asthma, migraines, and itching from scented products. Not only is this unscented, but it is gentle.

Because we have soft water, when I use it for hand soap, I dilute it into a pump bottle, about 60% detergent with 40% water. The dilution isn’t something I measure – I just wing it, but it works well for my family and for me.

Another person’s preference may differ from mine. It washes clean, leaves no residue on the skin, and does a great job on dishes, countertops, and even diluted even further to use to wash windows. It is the only truly unscented product of its type I’ve found yet! Also, I use Planet powdered laundry detergent.

Clothes come out perfectly clean and soft as if there is no residue left on the fabric, which I believe to be the case. This product can be hard to find, but it’s out there. I’m hoping my review may make others inclined to try it.

Obviously, I recommend it highly.

I need a dish soap with clean ingredients that is concentrated. I’m so tired of wasting money on watered-down natural dish soap! The brand I used to use is no longer available, so I began experimenting with other brands.

It was pretty bleak. I didn’t try Planet right away, because I couldn’t imagine I would be happy with a fragrance free dish soap (I’ve always gone for lemony smelling). But I was so happy I finally did.

This soap is perfect. Concentrate and effective. I just love it. You can squirt some lemon juice in the dishwater if you miss the smell.

Top!

TranslateShow in original languageMi aspettavo un prodotto più delicato. Irrita un po’ la pelle delicata, si raccomanda l’uso dei guanti. Anche se non ha profumi aggiunti sprigiona comunque un odore forte probabilmente per la presenza del perossido di idrogeno.

I vapori con l’acqua calda possono irritare anche gli occhi.

I’m a fan of Dawn dish soap. Seems to work better than everything else. Except that I’ve rarely used their products for quite a few years now. I’ve been using other brands because they are actually unscented unlike this product.

When you start using unscented products most of the scented products become quite offensive to use. I came to the website to see if Dawn started making a true Free & Clear unscented soap and the answer is no.

I used the Lemon scented Free & Clear once a long time ago and realized everything smelled like lemons. I don’t want that stuff on my dishes and everything else I wash with it. You can’t fool my nose by making it a clear color and putting a Free & Clear label on it.

I’d like to use Dawn products in my home again so please make a true free & clear unscented soap.

whatever you did to the scent of the once perfect Dawn Ultra Platinum has ruined it. I’ve been using refreshing rain scent for years and the recent bottle is different, overly strong and disgusting. you’ve ruined it.

and all the other scents have changed. after 30 years i guess i’m moving on to another product. there’s a reason people are complaining about the new scent. it’s awful. the ongoing “we recommend trying free and clear” is useless cause it’s just as bad.

I bought this because I couldn’t find original. Big mistake. Hard to rinse off. I had grease in pan, poured full strength to wash and rinse and the pan was still greasy. That never happened with original.

I am thinking they didn’t test product. I do not recommend this product at all. I also don’t like odors and it smells funny.
