Blue Dawn dishwasher soap is recommended in all the helpful hints I read, but is there really a difference between the blue and the other colors of Dawn?

I only use the blue simple (original) Dawn and have for years. I use it for dishes and laundry.
For clothing..the others kinds have weird scents that stick to the clothing when I use it for stain removal. The x power ones remove stains just fine, but it takes multiple rinses to get rid of the soap residue
For dishes the scents also make me sneeze. I hate using the x power one on dishes for the same reason as I won't use it on clothing. It takes multiple rinses to get it off the plates/glasses. We don't have a dishwasher so ease is critical to the process.
I have tried all the other brands and always go back to the Dawn. I have to stock up when they have coupons in the paper since it is pricey and I have to watch my budget.
I get mine at the Dollar Tree for the 12.6 oz. size. The smaller ones are the concentrated kind. Now that might not be a savings if you want the larger sized ones, but I like how light the smaller ones are. Since I put mine in a kitchen pump I need something easy to handle.
I have read they are all the same and work the same, but the others have added scents.
In my opinion it is stronger and removes grease better.
I have seen a few comments over the years about the blue Dawn staining clothing so that would be one concern. I think the blue one is recommended because it is the original.
I think this is a very interesting question as "blue" or original Dawn is recommended quite often for all types of jobs, and especially for killing fleas.
