Dawn Ultra Dish Soap

Oil-spill crews keep this blue liquid on the boat. A Clean Scent listing on the site is 7.5 oz. It claims 50% less scrubbing than the brand's non-concentrated liquid.

Procter & Gamble has owned the brand since 1973. Filling happens at Tabler Station in Inwood, West Virginia. Surfactant countries are not named.

Water, sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate lead the ingredient table. A drop also pretreats greasy laundry. This is sink soap.
