I love this stuff. I finally saw it on sale at the grocery store a while back, gave in & tried it. However, now that I have found this unicorn, I can never go back to “regular” dish soap.
I used this stuff in my air fryer & it made it Soo easy to clean the oil & grease! I was hoping it would help, but truly, it made it an absolute breeze!
The best thing about this stuff is your dishes don’t taste like soap. I don’t hand wash a lot but I found with dish soap you have to rinse like crazy to get all the soap taste off… *ick* Not with with stuff, as it’s a fine mist instead of thick, gooey soap.
Now, this bottle was almost empty this morning, so I googled homemade refills & found a simple & super affordable recipe!
Homemade Dawn Powerwash: Easy Recipe for Refills
- Grab your empty Dawn Powerwash bottle. (Unscrew lid, I thought mine was maybe not going to come off, but it just unscrews weird)
- Pour 13 fl oz (380 ml) of water into the container. (*I didn’t measure the water, I just left an inch or so of space in the bottle)
- Pour in Dawn dish soap. (*I used 2 TBSP)
- Add in rubbing alcohol. (*I used 1 TBSP)
- Put in a few drops of essential oil if you like. (*Nope, I don’t do oils)
- Screw the lid on and shake the bottle. (*I swirled back & forth rather than shaking)
- Use your homemade Dawn Powerwash spray.
I am really happy with the outcome! It smells & looks exactly the same! But costs cents to make, rather than $$ for a refill.

Do you make any homemade cleaners? Have you tried this stuff yet?
I haven’t tried this, but I’m curious to! I don’t make homemade cleaners now, but back when COVID started and we couldn’t find a lot of things, I used to make my own cleansing wipes all the time. It’s great that you found a recipe for the dish soap you like!

That was absolute madness.. especially with soap 🧼 & TP! 🧻 I’ll forever keep a few extra bars of soap on hand “in case of emergency” now.. lol!

This is so interesting! I’m quite sensitive to chemicals, so I used vinegar and baking soda for most cleaning jobs. I’ve *tried* to home-make several cleaners, most unsuccessfully haha! 😂

Yes, I can’t stand really “chemically” smelling stuff. For my other cleaning I use Mrs.Meyers Lemon & Verbena Clean Day spray. Smells sooo nice!!
