OMG, thanks for mentioning that. I repeatedly stain clothes and I'm often not even aware of it. I try every trick in the book for getting stains out, but I haven't tried Dawn yet. I've got a Susan Graver top right now with a stain that needs to come out. I'll give Dawn a chance on my clothes. I already use it in my kitchen.

My hair dresser got some dye on my forehead & told me that Dawn would take it right off. I put a little bit on a face cloth...rubbed lightly & the dye came right off! Good stuff!

My grandpa washed his hair with bar soap. My hairstylist says some people can get really good results using dish soap or dog shampoo on their hair, depending on what your hair cuticle is like ( he explained to me that a hair's cuticle is like shingles on a roof- if your "roof" has "shingles" that don't leak, you could probably get away with using dish soap on your hair- the wax, phosphates, ect would rinse out . Of course my roof is leaky, and I know that wax builds up on my hair (I have seen the stylist scrape wax off my hair). At any rate a water softner and salon - level shampoo and conditioner are the norm for me. I think what the writer objected to was not being informed beforehand of staff using Dawn.

My plumber recommended preventative kitchen pipe maintenance using the blue Dawn.
He said when I was done with the bottle, to fill it with water, shake it, and then pour it down the kitchen sink.
Dawn helps release the grease and crud that builds up on the inside of the water pipes.
He said to do that weekly and my kitchen water pipes will remain grease-free.

If you are serious about your "glee" at this scaly head skin fix, please respond with the name and location of the nursing home who is doing this to their patients so that "we" can respond accordingly.
Oh for Pete's sake lady, chill out. You are the one who should be ashamed of yourself for this rude uncalled for smack down. Geez!
OP, I don't have experience in using original Dawn dish soap on hair, or birds either for that matter. Just want to add that it is recommended for cleaning diamond rings too and also moissanite.
Seriously. Some folks just need to get a grip. There are SO many things out there that turned out to be highly effective for things other than their intended purpose. Had people not tried them, we'd never know and potentially very effective tools would be lost. Unless there;s some evidence to the contrary, for those with the problem described, it's certainly worth a try.

I've read on this board a few years ago that a Dawn (the blue one) is good for removing stains from clothing. Wonder if anyone has used it on their dogs? Mine gets smelly a day or two after shampoo (or after groomer) and has a bad odor and greasy coat.
