Amazon Basics Refill Fresh Scent Reviews Summary

Effectiveness

Pros:

• "It works amazing as a stain remover, just like the name brand blue soap."
• "Cuts through grime, grease, sticky food residue, and dirt while being gentle on your skin."
• "I feel like it did a great job at cleaning my dishes and cutting through grease!"
• "This Amazon basics dish soap works just as good as the brand name blue dishwashing liquid."
• "This soap is great. It cleans well, and I'm happy not to go to the store too much to restock."
• "This dish soap easily cleans baked on food from my air fryer and casserole pans."
• "It will get your dishes clean with no water marks."

Cons:

• "I had to use twice as much to make it work and then I would have to reapply halfway through the job to get suds again."
• "This soap is worthless. It's too weak - it takes a LOT to clean anything and you're constantly adding more to the sponge."
• "It is very difficult to actually get rid of grease on the dishes using this product."
• "This Dishwashing liquid is horrible, it does not clean properly its like I have to use large amounts with scalding hot water to cut the grease from the dishes."
• "I have to wash things multiple times just to make them not greasy, even things that did not start out that way."
• "It's too thick - getting it to dispense from a soap dispenser is like pumping cold jello."
• "You have to literally put a squirt into the sponge after every pass on a dish or pot."

Value

Pros:

• "The soap itself holds up against other name brand soaps at a better price."
• "You get four bottles for about the price of one at a grocery store."
• "Good dish soap, and a good value too!"
• "What a great product cleans beautiful the scent is unbelievable an price so unbelievable 4 bottles of soap under 20.00 great thank you Amazon."
• "Love the price and the sheer volume one gets for so little."
• "At $4 a bottle it’s a good value and works very close to just as good as the name brand in my opinions."
• "These bottles are so heavy, I accidentally drop it in the sink lol. So 4 of them this big for only like $15 is awesome!"

Cons:

• "This is not comparable to Dawn. If you want a semi-cheap dish soap it works."
• "It's not Dawn but it is OK for the money. Have to use more to get same results as name brand so not so sure how much of a value it is."
• "I’m not sure if I got a bad batch or what but it suds for a couple min and then gone."
• "I dislike that it doesn’t suds up well. And then there are no suds at all."
• "Great value but the soap is for sure not as good as name brand. I would buy it again."
• "The price is right but I find myself using twice what I would with Dawn."
• "The quantity is great for the price but the quality is very cheap."

Packaging

Pros:

• "The bottles are very large and can last for a long time."
• "This Amazon Basics Dish Soap (Fresh Scent) 50 fl oz comes in a large container with thoughtful product protection."
• "The bottles came sealed to avoid any leakage."
• "Product arrived well packaged and in good condition."
• "They all arrived sealed. The scent kinda smells like a men’s body wash - which smells good."
• "Firstly, this item was well packaged! It had a seal on the soap bottle itself, but was then packaged in cardboard with even more cardboard inside to keep it stable and secure!"
• "Delivery showed up without spill or leakage."

Cons:

• "The soap itself holds up against other name brand soaps at a better price but when it comes to packaging and it leaks and gets my other items in my package soapy it’s super frustrating."
• "Only issue is that the cap on top was broken and unable to close."
• "The cap on it won’t stay closed and it’s very difficult to squeeze any soap out so there’s a lot of leakage."
• "All 4 of my bottles leaked during shipping, ruining other stuff in the box, including food items which should not have been packed with it."
• "The container it is in is horrible. Very thin and cheap."
• "This dish soap is awful. The blue dye it contains has stained my curtains that are over my sink!!"
• "It has taken me forever to get through this 4 pack! They are great sizes. The only downside is that one of the bottles leaked."

Scent

• "I think this performs just as well but does have a very strong scent. I can't really describe it, but it is pleasant."

• "The scent kinda clashes the scent with dirty dishes in the sink and I slowly grew to not care for it."

• "This soap is super strong scented which I'm not surprised, but More importantly it stains."
