Squeeze of Citrus With Every Use
Lemi Shine Liquid Dish Soap is so cost-effective for the cleaning power, natural ingredients, and fantastic lemon scent. I really like using Lemi Shine Liquid Dish Soap on my dishes, knowing that it's so good for the environment too. I only wish buying Lemi Shine Liquid Dish Soap was easier because I had to hunt for it in so many stores until finally finding it in a K-Mart.

Who Knew That Lemons Could Clean So Well?
Lemi Shine Liquid Dish Soap smells like real lemons that someone just squeezed. The fragrance of lemons is not the only draw to Lemi Shine Liquid Dish Soap because it cleans ridiculously well. Goodbye greasy pots, pans, and dishes! Toss in the fact that Lemi Shine Liquid Dish Soap is non-toxic, biodegradable, and phosphate-free makes this such an environmentally conscious choice. Just looking at the ingredients list makes me so surprised that such a natural product cleans so well. I just wish Lemi Shine Liquid Dish Soap was easier to find in stores because I had to special order this online. Please roll out more Lemi Shine Liquid Dish Soap in stores!!

Lemi Shine Dish Liquid Great for GReasy pans!
I really like the Lemi Shine Dish Liquid. I bought the Citrus scent. It cleaned thick, sticky grease off all my frying pans. The scent smells so nice and my hands were not dried out.

Effective Grease Cutter
I really liked this product, because it had a fresh, clean scent that wasn't overpowering. I also like that the product isn't overladen with harsh chemicals. What I truly like most and what will cause me to tell others about this product is the way that it effectively cuts through grease. I find that I only need to wash a dirty/greasy item once instead of the two or more times I might have to with other dishwashing liquids that I use. The only issue I have is with the packaging. I found that too much product gets dispensed-since this liquid is concentrated-only a small bit is needed at a time. I also didn't find that I could use one hand to manage the bottle as is suggested in the product description. However, since the actual product is so effective-I would still buy this product and recommend it to others because of how great it cleans.

Very easy to use, no mess cap
I have never tried this product before. It was kind of hidden besides other national brands. I'm glad the company doesn't add color in the product. It's not good for the environment. Cleans my dishes and suds up nicely.

Great Lemon Scent & Very Effective Cleaner
I have really hard water that leaves a lot of calcium deposits at the bottom of my kettle and left white chalky marks around my water bottle. I almost threw out my water bottle because it started to smell despite it being run through the dishwasher and handwashed many times with the leading brand of dish soap. Enter Lemi Shine Liquid Dish Soap. I really like the lemon scent that makes everything smell so fresh. Lemi Shine Liquid Dish Soap is true to its word about being effective in hard water because my water bottle doesn't smell anymore. I think it's a highly effective dish soap and prefer it to the leading brands of dish soap I was using previously.

Just your average dish soap
The Lemi Shine Liquid Dish Soap is a good, affordable dish soap for those who love lemon scent. The dish soap cleaned my dishes well enough and left my hands and my dish towel smelling nice and lemony. This product is an average dish soap, not great and not terrible either. The affordable price is what makes this dish soap worthwhile.

Clean, fresh scent
I like the packaging on this item. The bottle is clear and you can see the dye free liquid inside. I like that the flip top is on the bottom of the bottle so when it is almost empty, the last of it is ready to use. No flipping the bottle upside down. I also love the fresh, clean scent. A bonus is that it is non toxic, biodegradable, phosphate free, and safe for septic systems. The only draw back on this is that the cleaning action on grease doesn't last as long as some other dish soaps.

Cleans well
I found this soap smelled good. It cleans well. I am not a fan of the opening at the bottom end. It is a little messy if you are not careful. .

I liked it
Good product. Washes well. The lemon is a bit overwhelming at first but does smell fresh for a while!

It was a great experience.
This product smells great and really worked. I used it on a dirty casserole dish and it took all the grease and hardened pieces off. After rinsing, the dish looked really clean. No streaks.

Shining dishes
Lemi Shine dish detergent is a mild but effective dish soap. It comes in two varieties-regular and dish & hand soap. I liked the scent and would buy it again.

Cut grease on my dirty dishes
I used the detergent to wash my pots and pans as I don't put them in a dishwasher. I normally use a detergent known for cutting grease and this worked just as good as my normal detergent. The only down side is that it costs a bit more than my normal detergent. The scent is very pleasant to though. I liked the product a lot.

New Design for Natural Dishsoap
I like that the dish soap is better for environmental and water health, because it is biodegradable, non-toxic, phosphate free and uses natural ingredients for lemon scent. It is effect at cleaning dishes, even on greasy pots and pans, which natural dish soaps don't alway work well on. I have one comment and complaint. The scent is now what I expected, it is lemony but not the traditional fake lemon scent; it's not bad just different and I think I will adjust to it. My complaint is that dish soap dispenses more soap than I want or need, especially considering the soap is concentrated.

Solid Concentrated Dish Soap
This dish soap is properly concentrated (a good balance) and effective as promised. Good bottle design to avoid waste and spillage.

Cost effective dish soap
The dish soap cleaned the dishes well. The price point was good as well. The smell of the soap was not my favorite but it did not turn me off from the product.

love this brand
I am a long time user of Lemi Shine in my dishwasher so I was excited to try this product. Great smell & works great on oils & grease. I also like the concentration so I can use less & hopefully save money!

Great liquid dish soap
It definitely exceeded my expectations so many ways and it works better than any dish soap I've ever used! It leaves dishes clean with no film. It works on tough grease very well too. I really like lemon scent and it feels great on my hand. I think it's gentle enough to wash my hair too. I will definitely purchase it in the future.

One of the Best
This is an item I would never have picked from the shelf prior to this opportunity. I was truly impressed by the cleaning power. I tried the variety for greasy dishes. Not only did it cut through any grease, any filth, including caked on foods easily wiped away. It had a light , fresh lemony scent that was not overpowering. A little bit went a long way. Now that I have found this product I will definitely purchase it again. It worked better for me than any of the well known brands I have tried. I would highly recommend Lemi Shine!

Live it!
It has a great "clean" scent. I like the bottle, it makes using easy. And it the bottle looks cute too.

effective dish soap!
I loved how smooth the product was and how soft it made my hands feel as I was washing dishes, almost like a conditioner for my hands. However, when I was done and dried my hands, my hands became rough and dry, which is why this is 4 stars instead of 5. The lemon scent was nice, and the bubbles lasted instead of going flat during the middle of washing. Effectively took care of grease.

Pleasantly Surprised
I wasn't so sure about this product, mostly because i am so stuck on my current brand, but I did try it and it actually surprised me. It worked very well, and had a fresh scent.

Great soap, mild scent
I would have missed this soap on the shelf, but I'm really glad to have tried it. I love the no drip design of the container. I hate all of that gunk that builds up. I really enjoy the smell. It's pretty mild citrus scent, not fake or overpowering. I dislike that it is difficult to open, which is inconvenient if you have, say, chicken juice all over your hands. Even so, I'd buy again.
Verified member
Great packaging! Love the scent!
As I went from store to store to store, I was determined to find this & try this. Some stores had the hard water booster but no dish detergent. When I finally found 2 on a shelf (not in the dish soap aisle) I grabbed both of them!

cleans well
The soap cleaned well but I did not enjoy the smell. It was somewhat institutional.Also I would have liked more suds. Overall it was a good product but needs some changes.

Love the soap...hate the bottle!
I really like this dish soap. It cleans well, smells fresh and has long lasting suds! I love that it is non-toxic and phosphate free. I actually like the shape of the bottle and the easy flip cap but...it flips too easy. I had to dig through several bottles on the shelf before I found one that wasn't leaking. The cap snaps shut but not tight. So, I flip the bottle upside down instead of sitting it on the lid the way it is supposed to be.

Excellent quality dish soap!
I highly recommend Lemi Shine Dish soap. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the design of the bottle. The soap comes out too quickly and you end up using way more than you need (because it is that effective). The soap itself works great against stubborn dishes and grease. It is soft on your hands and does not dry them out. Bottle design aside, this is hands down the best dish soap on the market!

Rinses quick and clean!
I have to say that I liked how Lemi Shine rinses clean. Some soap leave a film that requires more work to remove. This product rinses well, and leaves the dishes, pots and pans, feeling clean. The little hole on the spout could be smaller. I feel the current opening is a little too big, causing unnecessary amount of detergent to come out. But I like the bottle design, nice shape that would stay sturdy on sink edge, unlike some other shapes which always seem to be easily knocked off by accident. I would buy this product again.

Very good dish soap; convenient bottle design
I bought this dish soap with a little bit of skepticism. I really like Dawn, and the only other dish soaps I have tried have been natural ones (which seemed watery and overpriced) and 'value' ones which don't work nearly as well. This dish soap exceeded my expectations in multiple ways. The first is that the scent was quite delightful. A light, pleasant orange scent. The second is that it really didn't dry my hands out in the winter (I bought the bottle that doubled as a hand soap + moisturizer). Lastly, this product was just as effective as Dawn - I couldn't really tell that there were any major differences in how well my dishes got cleaned. The only aspect of this soap that some people might not like as much is that it is ultra concentrated, so it takes a little extra to rinse it off the dishes. I think that's a great 'problem' though, as the soap lasts longer in my sponge before I have to add more! Plus, with the design of the bottle, it doesn't leak of I knock it over, and it is always ready to be dispensed since the opening is on the bottom - makes it a bit easier to squeeze out! Very good dish soap in my opinion!

Effective cleaning
Lemi Shine Liquid Dish Soap did its job. It easily cleaned my greasy dishes and pots and rinses clean. Because it is concentrated, a little goes a long way to cleaning a sink full of dirty dishes. It also is non-toxic, biodegradable, and phosphate free. I got the version that is also a hand soap and you only need a drop to wash your hands. It's a 2 for 1! The lemon scent is light and clean. The large 22oz. bottle will probably last a long time so I feel is a good value for the money. I'll probably buy again.

Love the scent
Great cleaning ability and great scent. Not crazy about the upside down bottle but it works. For some reason all the bottles at 2 different stores had soap spilled all over them. Other than that, pretty happy with it

Good Dish Washing Liquid
This is a good dish washing liquid. While I don't love lemon scents, this scent is actually not bad. The bottle is genius and the product cleans as well as most others I have used.

Smells Great
I really liked both the lemony fragrance and the overall effectiveness of Lemi Shine but probably wouldn't purchase it again for two main reasons: cost and packaging design. Admittedly, although I felt that it was a good detergent and did a great job of cleaning my dishes, it wasn't necessarily a lot better than similar brands which also are less expensive. The packaging was also something I didn't really like; it comes in a bottle which is designed to be placed cap-side-down for easy dispensing but I found that the liquid poured out from the container too fast whenever I flipped open the cap because it doesn't have an opening that regulates/slows the flow of detergent from the bottle. The result was that I ended up spilling more detergent than necessary and wasting it.

Strong clean scent
I had been saying for days I needed to buy dish detergent so it was a convenient trial. It is priced about the same as other popular effective brands I use. It suds immediately. Seems to clean and rinse effectively. What I most noted was the scent. The lemon scent really was strong in the kitchen. It is a pleasant scent that says "clean"!

Good dish soap.
I think this is a good dish washing soap. It works on hard water. The bottle is a little goofy because you keep it upside down. Also it has a nice lemon scent.
Verified member
Great fragrance and effective.
The product has a wonderful fragrance if you like scents in your cleaning supplies. I happen to and I found it refreshing. The product cleaned as well as any other liquid dish soap and there was a lot of it. It dispensed rather quickly from the bottle so be careful but I would buy it again.
Verified member
Pleasant smell and works well
This detergent has a pleasant lemony smell and suds up well. One selling point is that it's a concentrate, but it was hard to dispense just a small amount. A big squirt came out when I pressed the bottle lightly, so hard to use as a concentrate for full value.

Just in time for the switchover to manual washing
I've used the Lemi Shine line of dishwasher rinsing aides for close to 2 years, and since I recently started going manual on dishwashing it made sense that the dish soap be my #1 item to use. It has a great scent, it's not overly abusive to my sense, the label is transparent (besides literally, I mean what's in the formula) and the brand is one I've relied on consistently. I only only docked 1 point on the 1-10 scale due to packaging. This may be a Walmart-related issue but the entire shelf of product was greasy from leaking. If I could propose just one suggestion it would be a thin strip of tape across the top keeping the cap down and locked. Other than that, once this is gone I'm going for the dish liquid + hand soap from Lemi Shine.

I found that this product created just the right amount of suds and cleaned my dishes perfectly. I did not like the scent of the dish soap, it did not smell like lemons,

Smells great, a little too concentrated
This is a very good dish soap. Tried antibacterial and original varieties. A little too thick/concentrated and bottle can leak a bit, but overall an effective product. Will buy again in the future.

Great product and value.
I really like the bottle design. It is just the right size and I like that it stands upside down so the liquid is always flowing. It doesn't feel as harsh on my hands either. It smells great.

Effective, Natural Dish Soap
Lemi-Shine Dish Soap is a wonderful, natural dish soap. I am thrilled that it is non-toxic, biodegradable, and phosphate free. I like to use natural, healthier products in my home and this fits my criteria. Most importantly, this dish soap is effective. It worked great on all of my dish cleaning needs (grease, grime, etc). As an extra bonus, I absolutely loved the lemony scent!
Verified member
avery good product for the low cost!
This is a really good natural product. The scent is not over powering, there are plenty of bubbles and for the cost it is in line with something more expensive. The only thing I had to get use to with it was depending on the food grease in the dishes the bubbles might die quickly causing you to either have to add more soap or refill the sink. Once you get use to the product you can adjust soap amount accordingly when starting to do dishes. This is a good product and will really appeal to some one trying to use natural products.
Verified member
I'm pleasantly surprised!!
I am honestly quite surprised by how much I like this product. I was skeptical when I saw it on the shelf (actually had a hard time finding it). I wasn't impressed by the look of it so I wasn't expecting much. Well, I proved myself wrong: smells fabulous, works better than my "old stand by" and I swear it got my dishes and sink cleaner than my regular product. I can be kind of picky about dish soap and I (thought I) loved my regular brand but I will be switching for sure. I might not I have used the same product for about 30 years, and I have tried other brands before, just never switched).
