Mrs. Meyer’s Lilac Dish Soap and Matching Sink Sets

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day is the garden-scented cleaning brand many people recognize from the kitchen counter: tall bottles, plain labels and scents named after flowers and herbs. Lilac is one of its softer, springtime scents, and it shows up in dish soap, hand soap and a few ready-made kitchen sets. If you are shopping for yourself, or putting together a housewarming present for someone who loves floral scents, it helps to know what each pack actually contains before you add it to your cart.

The six options below differ mainly in what is in the box: a three-pack of lilac dish soap, a three-piece kitchen set, a single hand soap, a hand-and-dish duo, a Lilac and Peony dish soap pair, and a three-pack of lilac hand soap.

MRS. MEYER'S CLEAN DAY Liquid Dish
MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Liquid Dish

Best for: Households stocking up on lilac dish soap

Pros

  • Three 16 fl oz bottles
  • Aimed at grease and stuck-on food
  • Essential oils, aloe vera, glycerin

Cons

  • Dish soap only, no hand soap

The MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Liquid Dish soap in Lilac comes as a three-pack of 16 fl oz bottles. The listing names SC Johnson as the manufacturer and describes the formula as made to cut through grease and remove stuck-on food that has sat for up to 48 hours, with less scrubbing. In plain terms, “stuck-on food” means the dried egg, sauce or cheese that hardens on a pan when it waits overnight in the sink.

The ingredient list mentioned in the description includes essential oils, aloe vera and glycerin. Aloe vera and glycerin are common in soaps because they help hands feel less dry after washing, which matters if you hand-wash dishes every day. The listing does not specify whether the bottles are recyclable or how concentrated the formula is.

This is the pick for anyone who already knows they like the lilac scent and simply wants enough dish soap to last a while. It is not a gift set in the decorative sense, and it has no hand soap, so if you want the sink to match, pair it with the hand soap three-pack further down. If you mostly refill a favorite dispenser, our guide to Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap refill options explains how the bigger bottles work.

Mrs. MEYER’S Kitchen

Best for: Housewarming gift covering the whole sink

Pros

  • Dish soap, hand soap and surface cleaner
  • Lilac set per listing title
  • Compact gift-sized box

Cons

  • Description mentions mint, not lilac
  • Bottle sizes not listed

The Mrs. MEYER’S Kitchen set bundles three items: a dish soap, a hand soap and a multi-surface cleaner. A multi-surface cleaner is a spray for wiping counters, tables and other hard surfaces around the kitchen. The listing title says the set is Lilac, and the package measures about 10.67 x 7.72 x 2.72 inches, so it fits easily in a gift bag.

There is one thing to know before ordering. The description on this listing talks about a Mint fragrance, not lilac, while the title clearly says Lilac. We cannot tell from the listing which is correct, so check the scent shown on the product page and in the images before buying, especially if you are giving it as a present to a lilac fan. The listing also does not specify the size of each bottle.

If the scent checks out, this set is the most complete housewarming idea in the lineup, because it covers dishes, hands and counters in one box. Someone setting up a first apartment gets three useful basics without having to think about it. If you only need soap and not a surface spray, the Variety duo below is a smaller option.

MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Hand Soap,Lilac for a First Try

The MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Hand Soap,Lilac is a single 12.5 fl oz bottle of liquid hand soap. According to the description, it cleans hands thoroughly while helping keep skin soft and moisturized, and it is designed for frequent use without leaving hands feeling dry.

This is the simplest way to find out whether you like the lilac scent before committing to a multi-pack. It is also a nice small add-on for a gift basket next to a candle or a dish towel. Because it is only one bottle of hand soap, it does not help at the sink with dishes; for that, look at the dish soap three-pack or the Variety duo.

Mrs. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Variety for a Matching Duo

The Mrs. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Variety pairs one 12.5 oz liquid hand soap with one 16 oz liquid dish soap, both in Lilac. That is everything the listing tells us: only the title is available, so details such as ingredients, bottle design and manufacturer are not specified.

Even with limited information, the combination is useful. One hand soap and one dish soap in the same scent is exactly what a kitchen sink needs, which makes this a tidy little gift for a new neighbor or a host. Choose it over the Kitchen set if you do not need a surface cleaner, and over the three-packs if you want variety rather than volume.

Mrs. MEYER’S Liquid Dish Soap Variety for Two Floral Scents

Best for: Shoppers wanting two scents to compare

Pros

  • Lilac and Peony dish soaps
  • Listed without parabens or phthalates
  • Cruelty-free formula per listing

Cons

  • Description mixes in hand soap wording
  • Bottle size not listed

The Mrs. MEYER’S Liquid Dish Soap Variety pack contains two dish soaps: one Lilac and one Peony. The listing says the soaps are made without parabens, phthalates or animal-derived ingredients and describes the formula as cruelty-free. Parabens are a type of preservative and phthalates are chemicals sometimes used in fragrances; some shoppers prefer to avoid both.

The description on this listing is a little confusing. It mixes dish soap and hand soap language, mentions olive oil and aloe vera, and even refers to a “mildly citrus scent” and a “tender herb,” which does not match lilac or peony. The title is clear that these are two dish soaps in Lilac and Peony, so treat the title as the reliable part. The bottle size is not specified.

This pack suits someone who enjoys switching scents or wants to try peony alongside lilac. If you are a fan of other florals, our look at Mrs. Meyer’s rose dish soap covers another garden option.

MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Liquid Hand for Every Bathroom

The MRS. MEYER’S CLEAN DAY Liquid Hand soap in Lilac comes as a three-pack of 12.5 fl oz bottles, made by SC Johnson according to the listing. Its description matches the single hand soap: it cleans hands thoroughly, is designed for frequent use and is meant to keep skin soft rather than dry.

Three bottles let you put the same scent in the kitchen, the main bathroom and a guest bathroom, which is a small detail that makes a home feel put together. It is also the easy answer for anyone who went through a single bottle quickly and wants to stop reordering. It contains no dish soap, so match it with the dish soap three-pack if you want both.

How to Choose the Right Mrs. Meyer’s Lilac Set

Decide what the sink needs. If you only wash dishes by hand and already have hand soap, the Liquid Dish three-pack is the straightforward choice. If you want hand soap only, pick the single bottle or the Liquid Hand three-pack.

Think about gifting. For a housewarming present, the Kitchen set covers dishes, hands and counters, while the Variety duo is a smaller, simpler pairing. Double-check the scent on the Kitchen set because its description mentions mint.

Choose volume or variety. Three-packs are for people who already know they like lilac. The Lilac and Peony pack is for someone who wants to compare two florals. If lavender or lemon verbena is more their style, see our guide to Mrs. Meyer’s dish soap refill in lavender.

Read the ingredient notes. The dish soap three-pack names essential oils, aloe vera and glycerin, and the Lilac and Peony pack lists what it is made without. Other listings say less, so if ingredients matter to you, those two give the most detail.

FAQ

What does Mrs. Meyer’s lilac scent smell like?

The listings name the scent as Lilac but do not describe the fragrance notes. Lilac in general is a soft, sweet spring flower scent. If you are unsure, the single hand soap is an easy, low-commitment way to try it.

Is the Mrs. Meyer’s lilac dish soap 3 pack the same formula as the single bottles?

The three-pack listing describes a grease-cutting formula with essential oils, aloe vera and glycerin. The Variety duo listing gives only the title, so we cannot confirm that the two dish soaps are identical.

Which Mrs. Meyer’s lilac set should I buy as a gift?

For the fullest gift, the Kitchen set includes dish soap, hand soap and a multi-surface cleaner. For something smaller, the Variety duo pairs one hand soap and one dish soap in Lilac.

Does the Mrs. Meyer’s lilac kitchen set really smell like lilac?

The title says Lilac, but the description refers to a Mint fragrance. Check the product images and scent label on the page before buying.

Can I use Mrs. Meyer’s lilac hand soap to wash dishes?

The hand soap listings describe a formula for cleaning hands and keeping skin soft; they do not mention dishes. Use the dish soap for pans and plates, since its listing is written around grease and stuck-on food.

Is Mrs. Meyer’s lilac and peony variety pack cruelty-free?

Its listing says the formula is cruelty-free and made without parabens, phthalates or animal-derived ingredients. The other listings do not state this, so we cannot confirm it for them.
