I do too! its a miracle worker! My teenager got red dye on one sleeve and grease from the garage door track on the other sleeve of his new white hoodie! The Dawn Powerwash got them both out on the first try! 😀

If you are using Dawn Professional or Dawn Platinum there is no need to add alcohol as it already contains it. Just add water. I remember when this first came out I thought it was a gimmick. Now I use it on so many things. It will work for the sticky residue on the bottle as well, just let it sit for a few minutes and do its magic. No need for another product. Love this stuff.

Thank you! BTW, I poured out the last ounce of Powerspray I had to see what it looked like and it was clear with a slight tinge of yellow-not blue at all. The bottle is tinted blue to look like the traditional Dawn so the liquid in the Powerspray bottle doesn’t need to be blue. I wonder if it works as well as the original because obviously this isn’t necessarily what is in the DIY but I will find out as I happen to be out of the first bottle of power wash spray so I will give it a try! We will see! Thanks again!

When I first heard about Dawn power wash, I thought it was only for people who didn’t wash their dishes after dinner. I thought it was only for people who let them sit in the sink overnight, so I never tried it until recently. I had no idea that this stuff is so amazing! I actually went out and bought it after watching your video about making your own. THANK YOU!

Just so you know, denatured alcohol is actually what is used in the Power Wash if you buy it from the store. There is a difference between isopropyl and denatured, one can always look that up if you want to. I have made this myself and decided to use the 91% isopropyl, however you can get denatured alcohol if you choose to go that route.

Denatured alcohol is pure ethanol (drinking alcohol) that has additives to make it poisonous, bad-tasting, and foul-smelling, to discourage its recreational consumption (for tax purposes). To get nearly pure ethanol (without the poison) at home you can use a high-proof vodka or 190-proof Everclear.

@james10739

I've been doing this for quite awhile myself it just came to me and I decided to try it because I had bought a dawn foam and I looked at the ingredients and I decided I could make my own because the only missing ingredient is the alcohol. But I buy my dishwashing soap from the Dollar Tree and I use Ajax Ultra and I do not dilute it with water because it doesn't cut the grease good enough for me. But it works really great and it lasts a long time. I also by my sponges and scouring pads from the Dollar Tree and I cut them in thirds because I only need a small amount of sponge to wash my dishes so I also save money on sponges. And it's easy to throw them out because they can become unsanitary be used in the wrong way

One of the thing I remember from a month-long visit to Germany a few years ago was how I was able to find some really, really good deals on food at the grocery story. Usually it was stuff that simply had to be sold that day or thrown away, and it was marked down considerably. If you wanted to, you could simply walk to the grocery store every day, buy whatever was on sale, and just make a day's worth of meals out of that. There's just not an equivalent system where I live in the US. Grocers would rather throw food away than to heavily discount it.

I have found that using denatured alcohol (what Dawn uses) does give the same type of foam when sprayed. I think it cleans a little better using the denatured alcohol. The major difference is the cost of denatured alcohol, $$7.00 to $9.00 a quart.

That's not the case with these foaming dish soap or the Mr. Clean foaming all-purpose cleaner one that's like the dawn powerwash. The foam comes from what's in the bottle for those sprayheads.

Would be easier than looking for a DIY dupe, then making it to save money. 😅 the handsome you're talking about says specifically "foaming hand pump" which tells you it's the pump for those ones, though.
