Small Dawn Dish Soap Bottles: Which Size Fits Your Sink

As Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases. This means we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you if you click through and make a purchase.

Small sinks create small problems. In an RV galley, a dorm kitchenette or an office break room, a full-size dish soap bottle takes up counter space you do not have, tips over when the vehicle moves, or gets left behind when you pack up. Searches for small Dawn soap usually come from these situations: people who want the same grease-cutting formula they use at home in a bottle that fits a narrow ledge, a caddy or a travel bag.

The six Dawn products covered here are organised by size and formula, according to the listings. At the compact end are a three-pack of Dawn Ultra Original in 7.5-ounce bottles, a 13-ounce Dawn Platinum bottle and a small Dawn Ultra bottle whose volume the listing does not state. In the middle are two EZ-Squeeze bottles, a 22-ounce Ultra Original and a 24.3-ounce unscented Free & Clear. At the top is a 51.5-ounce Dawn Ultra refill jug, which is not meant for the counter but for topping up the smaller bottles.

Dawn Dish Soap Lineup at a Glance

The Models in Detail

01 Value Pack of 3 Dawn Ultra Original, 7.5 oz Each Our Powerful Formula helps you get through more dishes with less dishwashing

Check price on Amazon Our score: 9.4/10

Best for: Dorms, RVs and several small sinks

Pros

• Three 7.5 oz bottles
• Ultra Original formula
• Easy to spread across locations

Cons

• Few details in listing
• Small bottles empty quickly

The Value Pack of 3 Dawn Procter & Gamble Ultra Original bundle contains three 7.5-ounce bottles, the smallest individual bottles with a stated volume in this lineup. The description calls it an ultra dishwashing liquid in the original scent with three times more grease cleaning power per drop, so you get through more dishes with less soap.

The listing is short. It gives a package size of 7.24 x 6.5 x 3.11 inches and a weight of 1.75 pounds for the set of three, but no dimensions for an individual bottle. Even so, a 7.5-ounce bottle is small enough for a sink caddy, an RV cabinet door rack or a desk drawer.

A three-pack suits anyone with several small sinks to stock: one bottle for the RV, one for the office kitchenette and one for a camping bin. It gives way to the 13-ounce Platinum if you want a single bottle that lasts longer on one sink.

02 Dawn Platinum Dish Soap, Fresh Rain, 13 oz New Dawn Platinum is now stronger* on tough grease, so you can spend less

Check price on Amazon Our score: 8.6/10

Best for: Small kitchens that cook greasy meals

Pros

• Platinum formula for tough grease
• Slim 3.66-inch-wide bottle
• Fresh Rain scent

Cons

• Scented, not dye-free
• Tall at 8.11 inches

The Dawn Platinum Dish Soap in Fresh Rain scent comes in a 13-ounce bottle measuring 3.66 x 2.17 x 8.11 inches and weighing 1.06 pounds. The description says the new Platinum formula is stronger on tough grease than the previous formula and removes 99% of grease and food residue with less scrubbing, while being designed to be gentle on hands.

The bottle is narrow at just over 2 inches deep, which helps on the thin ledge behind a small sink, though it stands a little over 8 inches tall. That makes it a good size for a studio apartment or a tiny house kitchen.

This suits small kitchens where you still cook greasy meals: skillets, casserole dishes and sheet pans. If fragrance is a concern, the Free & Clear option is unscented.

03 Dawn Ultra Dishwashing Liquid Soap, Compact Bottle 50% less scrubbing, Ultra Dish soap

Check price on Amazon Our score: 8.2/10

Best for: Refilling small bottles at home

Pros

• 5 oz refill jug
• Saves plastic when refilling
• Ultra Original blue formula

Cons

• Heavy at 3.62 pounds
• Listing mixes Ultra and Platinum

Best for: Office sinks and travel kits

Pros

• Compact package under 7 inches tall
• Dawn Ultra formula
• Light to carry

Cons

• Volume not stated in listing
• Almost no product details

The Dawn Ultra Dishwashing Liquid Soap listing gives almost nothing beyond its name. The only specifics are a package size of 6.77 x 2.64 x 1.69 inches and a package weight of 8.05 ounces. The listing does not state the liquid volume, the scent or the bottle design.

From the package dimensions alone, this is the shortest bottle in the lineup at under 7 inches, which is useful for a travel kit, a gym bag for washing a shaker bottle, or a glove box camping kit. Because the listing does not specify volume, check the product page before buying if exact ounces matter.

This suits people who want the smallest possible Dawn Ultra bottle for travel or an office drawer. The 7.5-ounce three-pack is the more clearly documented alternative.

04 Dawn EZ-Squeeze Ultra Dish Soap, Original, 22 fl oz Experience 50% less scrubbing with Dawn Ultra dish soap liquid compared to

Check price on Amazon Our score: 8.0/10

Best for: Everyday home sinks with some counter room

Pros

• 22 fl oz Ultra Original
• EZ-Squeeze format
• Concentrated versus non-concentrated Dawn

Cons

• Listed dimensions look incorrect
• Not a small bottle

The Dawn EZ-Squeeze Ultra Dish Soap in Original is a 22-fluid-ounce bottle. The title also calls it a dish soap refill. The description claims 50% less scrubbing and more dishes per bottle compared with Dawn Non-Concentrated, and mentions Dawn’s long-running wildlife rescue work.

The specifications list product dimensions of 9.2 x 9.2 x 9.2 inches, which cannot be right for a bottle and likely describe packaging. The listing does not give the real bottle footprint or explain the EZ-Squeeze design beyond the name.

At 22 ounces this is not a small bottle, but it suits a household sink with modest counter space where you want fewer refills. For more on this formula, see our guide to Dawn blue dish soap liquid.

05 Dawn Free & Clear EZ-Squeeze Dish Soap, Unscented, 24.3 fl oz Free of Dyes, No heavy perfumes, Phosphate Free

Check price on Amazon Our score: 8.2/10

Best for: Households avoiding dyes and fragrance

Pros

• 0% fragrance and dyes
• Upside-down EZ-Squeeze bottle
• Biodegradable surfactants

Cons

• 3 oz is not compact
• Tallest bottle at 9.64 inches

The Dawn Free & Clear EZ-Squeeze Dish soap is the unscented option, made with 0% fragrance, dyes and phthalates according to the description, and containing biodegradable surfactants. It claims three times the grease cleaning power per drop versus Dawn Non-Concentrated. The title describes an upside-down bottle, so soap sits at the cap and dispenses without shaking.

It holds 24.3 fluid ounces and measures 3.54 x 2.5 x 9.64 inches, weighing 1.76 pounds, so it is the tallest bottle here and not a compact choice. The upside-down design, however, can suit a shallow cabinet or sink caddy where a tall upright bottle would not fit.

This suits households with sensitive skin or a preference for fragrance-free products. Our Dawn unscented dish soap guide covers the Free & Clear line in more depth.

06 Dawn Ultra Dish Soap Refill Jug, Original Blue, 51.5 oz Dawn Ultra packs a powerful punch of grease-fighting power for a deep

Check price on Amazon Our score: 8.4/10

The Dawn Ultra Dish Soap Refill Jug holds 51.5 ounces of Original blue Dawn Ultra, measures 6.3 x 2.84 x 9.65 inches and weighs 3.62 pounds. The description claims three times faster grease cleaning versus Dawn Non-Concentrated and says the jug saves plastic when refilling smaller bottles.

One inconsistency: the description calls it “the same powerful Dawn Platinum you trust”, while the title and the rest of the text describe Dawn Ultra. The listing does not resolve which formula is in the jug; the title says Ultra.

This jug is the partner to any of the small bottles. Keep it under the home sink or in the RV storage bay and refill the 7.5-ounce bottles as they empty. For more bulk options, see our Dawn soap bulk guide.

Before You Buy

The listings for small bottles are thin. The compact Ultra bottle does not state its volume, the three-pack gives no per-bottle dimensions, and the 22-ounce EZ-Squeeze gives a cube-shaped dimension that clearly is not the bottle. None of the listings give bottle cap types beyond the EZ-Squeeze and upside-down descriptions.

Formula naming also varies. Ultra, Platinum and Free & Clear are different formulas, and the refill jug mixes Ultra and Platinum in its description. If you are refilling a Platinum bottle, the listing does not confirm that the jug is Platinum.
