I've been buying Dawn lately as it's recommended for washing the cross stitched pieces I do, I guess it pulls the oils out of the fabric that your hands leave behind. Talk about different kinds! Wow!

    I can't wait for the day that I have a dishwasher again!! These victorian houses I swear... anyway right now I'm on generic brand in ocean breeze or something like that.. I was on Dawn.. omgosh did you try the one with the foam where you only had to use one pump and you could do a whole sink of dishes off it!! I tell you that stuff was the best!! I buy that when it's on sale!

      The foam stuff is great! You do need dish soap too even though you have a dishwasher. I really can't imagine washing dishes by hand that much, though I did it last year when I didn't have a sink upstairs. I had to lug the dishpan down the basement for a month!

    Dawn is great. every once in awhile i will get one of the "aromatherapy" ones, but i always end up going back to the original blue.
    i hate dishwashers. to me they are twice as much work. i would rather just do them and get them over with.

        using dawn to wash cross stitch pieces??? wow! never thought of that! what's the process? I'm always afraid to wash them, as I think they'll lose their colors or they'll bleed.

        for me, using dawn is just cheap & easy. i'm not blessed w/a dishwasher, so i'm not the greatest at getting my dishes done. I've had to do w/out now for about 4 years, & 8ish before that...ugh...

          Actually most of the embroidery floss won't run. The only iffy colors are red and black, but I only remember red being a problem years ago. I only give my project a quick soak and make sure the corner where my hand hit it is clean. I heard Oxyclean is good for XS too.
