I dont think anything compares to Dawn. Its a great laundry soap alternative too. You can use it as a pretreater on stains on clothes too. I keep it and the generic on hand. I love the scent of Sun Sations apple orchard soap. I use it generally and use dawn sparingly. I can get 3 bottles for same price as one bottle of dawn. So thats what i do. If kids want to soap up thier slip n slide, they can use the sun brand.lol. I like using it with my mop to clean my stand up shower stall. I use a dollar store cotton mop for this purpose. It works well! It leaves a fun scent too. That is if you like apples.lol
