I am the Nurse that brought the Dawn (blue) to your attention, first of all never in the world did I think that I would get some mean, inconsiderate remarks. First of all this had been researched because we had tried multiply different shampoos on these residents that were prescribed from dermatologist with no results. I had searched for other ideas that would be gentle, lovely scent with results. These residents aren't used as test animals, I am very offended, and yes the MD wrote orders to use this once a week to their hair. I cant believe making a recommendation make people seem how we are caring for our residents, as wrong and cruel, so to all of you that made it seem a crime or inhuman. I have been a nurse at my facility for 17 years and the residents are like my family and I would never do anything to harm them. I for one will never start a post because there are always malicious, hateful people, and I was just trying to share and I understand you don't know me, but this is very hurtful and for that I say shame on you. Sorry it to took so long to respond but I have been working overtime taking care of my family the residents.

Thank you so much!! I am also a nurse working in long term care and some of these remarks were so hurtful. We do work so hard to care for our residents and yes, we do love them like family.

I believe I mentioned this before, somewhere.......a sales person at a major pet food store suggested that I use a flea comb on my cat, then dip the comb into a cat bath/shampoo product that they sell..........or, she said, use Dawn Blue dissolved in water instead. She said that the Dawn kills the fleas on the comb, and also cleans the comb (and wipe dry) as I continue to comb the comb through the cat's fur.... At the time, I wasn't thoroughly convinced, but now I do believe it's true!

I'm sure he'd be thrilled to have the opportunity to donate a few thousand gallons of his non-shampoo to nursing care facilities so they can use that instead of something that's reasonably priced & readily available locally.

Hi Sneef,

My mom recently went into a nursing home. She's been complaining of a flaky scalp. I remembered your post about Dawn. Do you use the concentrated blue Dawn? How much and how often should she use it? Thanks!

[BOYINTX]

yes it is a flea treatment. Dawn is so very clean and wonderful for many things

Some people are VERY closed minded and feel if something is not marketed by a high priced, name brand company, it can not possibly work. Dawn has very gentle ingredients in it and I see no reason why it would not work well. . Many high priced, name brand products have the EXACT SAME ingredients and percentages as the lower priced counterparts, but you can not make some people believe that and most are to afaraid to look at the labels and compare. IGNORE THE CLOSED MINDED PEOPLE

Too funny!! Can you imagine the elderly taking the time for gooping that stuff on their hair in the shower???

You can get the same effect by massaging coconut oil into the scalp, let it sit for about 15 minutes, wash out with warm water until clear.

If you like, you can assist this by adding a handful of baking soda to the mix.
