During September 2008 we reviewed the Dawn Antibacterial Dish Liquid.

This product was purchased at retail for less then three dollars.

We tested Dawn Antibacterial Dishwashing liquid for efficacy on our dishware, glassware, flatware, silverware and on cookware.

We used the two sink method filling one of the sinks half filled with cold water and one teaspoon full of the Dawn.

Dawn produced good results in our dirty dish cleaning test.

On normal non greasy breakfast dishes it performed very well after a short soak.

On greasy dishes we had to increase the amount of Dawn to two tablespoons or more to get comparable results.

This is the same protocol that would be appropriate regardless of the brand of dishwashing liquid we were evaluating.

Overall Dawn dishwashing liquid performed nicely in the kitchen.

We were unable to confirm whether Dawn is produced in the USA.
