 Indispensible - economical and versatile May 18, 2010
The whole family loves the lavender scent (true lavender and not overwhelming). Not only is this a really good and economical dish soap which makes the whole kitchen smell clean but we have also used it extremely successfully as a hand soap and for handwashing delicate textiles (silk scarves, fine wool knits, etcetera). It also worked outstandingly well as a cleansing/wetting agent for scouring a raw fleece for handspinning. I have occasionally even added a dash to the bath water!
I have to admit that this was a product that I was quite skeptical about trying, but I now think it is indispensible and well worth the price.

 If you like your food smelling like flowers Oct 22, 2009
This stuff smells so good, I love the packaging and the hand soap but I got the dish soap and now everything I cook in my frying pan smells like flowers. Smells great, tastes not so great. I cant get the freakin flowers out either. I hate taking stuff back to the STO but this is gross.

 Toxic Product Aug 16, 2009
Mrs. Meyer's dish soap and many other products in this line are very toxic. I'm told they made it into the 'health section' of stores because they are biodegradeable. However, they contain toxic synthetic fragrances -- note they are simply listed as 'fragrance' on the label. Synthetic fragrances are known to disrupt hormones (promoting obesity, thyroid disorders, sperm damage, and birth defects), induce or worsen respiratory problems, cause immune system supression cancer and kidney disease, and damage the brain and nervous system.
Many companies add a natural ingredient (in this case lemon verbena or lavender - if these are indeed the real thing - to pretend their product is natural. This is unethical.
For general cleaning I recommend vinegar. For dish soap - I suggest you look at other brands.
If you desire more information on fragrances and their toxic effects, Sandra Redemske of Redemske Design has put together some remarkable information.

Perfumey greenwashing Aug 13, 2009
It suds pretty well - I'll give it that. But the nonsense about being scented with "essential oils" is greenwashed bullhockey. The scent of this product comes from artificial fragrance, with a smattering of real essence thrown in so they can charge you double. Every time I wash dishes I choke on perfume, and the smell of fake flowers blended with sink scum is not entirely pleasant. My hands seem drier, too.
I despise brands that pretend to be "eco-friendly" and "natural" just to make an extra dime off the gullible.

 Left scent on everything Jun 25, 2009
The soap worked well as far as cleaning the dishes. However, it left a lemon verbena scent on everything, especially plasticware, that we could taste! Yuck
