I've been using Dawn Powerwash for a couple of years now, it does wonders on dishes, pots, and pans... It removed stains from pan's that steel wool wouldn't touch. This stuff is better than anything I've ever used to clean dishes!

So there was a motor oil stain on the beige carpet in the family room - I had tried every carpet cleaner known to try and get it out, no luck. I thought huh, I'll try the Dawn Platinum Powerwash? Stain gone in 30 seconds! I also tried it on a grease stain on my jacket - boom, gone! It hasn't harmed the fabric of the jacket or the carpet - that might not be the case for all materials. But these stains had seemed permanent and had been there awhile, so I figured why not try it? Glad I did...

Thanks! I’ll give it a try.

Useful! I use Dawn but thought Platinum Powerwash was just advertising b.s. Will give it a try!

A little tip, when you run out just fill with a little more dawn and a mix of denatured alcohol (70 or 90% is fine) and water 50/50 +/-

Much cheaper fill solution.
Been doing it for awhile.

We’ve been using it a couple years too. Haven’t tried it on stains, but it’s great on baked on food. A few squirts, wait a few minutes, and it comes right off. No soaking overnight.

Dawn has very effective advertising (cleaning oil off the ducks) and name recognition, almost to the point of becoming a genericized trademark.

You cut that with water and it kills weeds and poison ivy extremely fast. Great weed destroyer.

I've been using it for over a year. After the first bottle, I make my own.

2 table sponsors dawn
1 teaspoon rubbing alcohol 70%
Fill the rest with water.
Turn it over a few times to mix, and you're good.

If you've gotten into poison ivy, apply some Dawn to the affected area and dry wipe that off before rinsing. You've got only so long to get that done, don't let the PI linger.

It's the thing. Wouldn't want to be without it.

Wow! Sounds like the WD40 of the kitchen.

Thanks, I have some oil stains on the driveway.

We use it all the time... great.

Good stuff. ArtieS introduced it to me.

My wife has been using it for quite a while. Great stuff.

Been getting jugs of it from Costco for a while now. I am also impressed.

I am a fan. Great for general purpose cleaning all over the house.

My last and final job after my strokes was to take the dry cleaning from our small towns cleaners to the cleaners with the actual equipment, We went through a few finding out who could do the best and get it done within a time frame we could work with, That stuff was the go to spot cleaner in every place we used.

A quick Amazon lookup shows that there is "Dawn Powerwash" and "Dawn Powerwash Plus." Is there any difference between these?

I just put all my pots and pans (except cast iron) in the dishwasher...
