Dawn Simple Pleasures Dish Soap By Gayle Parks on Aug 31, 2007 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

I don't know how many of you still wash dishes by hand but I assume a few of you do. I have used Dawn Dishwashing Liquid for many years and it is a good quality dish soap. It cuts grease and has long lasting suds so when they introduced the new Dawn Simple Pleasures I tried it. The scent I tried was called Water Lilies and Jasmine. Sounds mighty fancy for a dish soap but the scent was nice when I washed dishes and was different from the usual orange or lemon scent. Another nice little difference is the built-in air freshner on the bottom of the bottle. There is a small little container of scented beads attached to the bottom of the bottle. You remove a little strip to release the fragrance. At first this was a nice, fresh addition to my kitchen but over time it became overwhelming. Perhaps it was the scent I chose and the other scents available would not be so strong but Water Lilies and Jasmine will knock you out. If you like to try new scents and fragrances for your home, by all means try it...but if you are sensitive to scents or allergic you might want to be careful.
