Bought a $40 lavender mint dish soap from Etsy and it left grease on everything

I got suckered by a cute listing with a handmade bottle and promises of all natural grease cutting. First wash, my plates still had that slick oily film no matter how much I scrubbed. I even tried hotter water and more soap, but it just made more suds without actually cleaning. Ended up dumping half the bottle down the drain after a week of frustration. Went back to my usual Blue Dawn ultra and everything was sparkling again in one wash. Has anyone else tried boutique dish soaps that just don't work?

Oh man, I totally fell for that too with some fancy lemon rosemary soap. Went straight back to Dawn, it just works and I don't even care if it's basic.

@faithwalker nailed it - Dawn is pretty much the gold standard for a reason. Those boutique soaps just don't have the same surfactants or whatever magic they put in the regular stuff. In my experience, you gotta stick with what actually works even if it's boring.
