Dawn (blue).  Now using up store brand (YUCK!) 'cause no Dawn was available for weeks.  They had every detergent stocked but Dawn!  Had to order some on Amazonsmile.

Dawn for me too.  But only the Gentle Clean formula, Pomegranate & Rose Water scent.  It's getting hard to find.

Re: What is your favorite brand of dishwashing detergent?

@J Town Girl   Interesting question.  I use Dawn--the blue version--exclusively for at least ten years.  Significant Other used to pick up any old brand or a store brand when he shopped.  I finally convinced him we were NOT saving money and using too much plastic. 

 

I started buying the largest size Dawn possible (first found at Home Depot) and would fill a smaller Dawn container to keep near the sink.

 

During the pandemic it has been harder to find but I have succeeded in procuring it in the larger containers and now keep ahead by at least one very large bottle.  I had to order via Walmart or Amazon to keep ahead.  Target never had it for home delivery each time I checked.

 

I stick to the blue formula because I learned that the formulations of any dish or dishwasher detergents that have citrus can damage your stainless steel flatware.

I am really liking the Ecos brand, @J Town Girl 

It comes in lots of nice scents, too, like almond, bamboo-lemon, grapefruit, and unscented (free and clear), etc.

I will buy what I can find a killer deal on. Palmolive, Joy, Dawn. 

 

Dawn is the best, and I like the pink pomegranate one even more than the blue.

No dishwasher - I actually prefer hand washing my dishes and pots.  

 

I use Palmolive.

Re: What is your favorite brand of dishwashing detergent?

Palmolive Antibacterial (orange color) for years. Not so much for the antibacterial property but because it has a mild odor that I can tolerate. Also good with greasy dishes, pots.

I'm VERY sensitive to perfumes, etc.I also use the clear Method foaming handsoap for the mild smell and mild soap, I also have sensitive skin and there are few products that don't bring on atopic eczema.

 

It seems in this pandemic that others are discovering these two products. My store shelves have been empty of both for over a month! The dish detergent is making a snmall comeback and I finally found the handsoap on Amazon.
