Uh, no. All that youtube lady did was water down the Dawn to nothing more than the cheapo dish detergents. Big whoop, it foams straight from the bottle.

I used to use Ajax dish detergent but in Feb. got fed up with how watered down it had become that it didn’t finish one sink of dirty dishes. I grudgingly bought some expensive Dawn hoping it’d last longer. It does, but barely. I still have to wash greasy pans separately with straight Dawn to get the grease off.

OK, I bought 4 big jugs of Dawn for the virus stay home (that’s not “hoarding”, no expiration date and it will be used at less cost today than in 6 months). I still haven’t finished the first jug and all dishes are handwashed.

Never heard of the new power wash. A power wash is a steel pad and broken fingernails here.

I called P&G once years back and asked how long a shelf life something like laundry detergent had, and the lady told me *Almost indefinitely*.

I’m presuming that’s true of many soaps.

Broken nails! If there were but ONE REASON for auto D/W this would be it. Another broken just today! Must be that hard water! :-) Looks as though an on line order to WM for shipping will be the only way this will be found. After going to approx. 4-5 WM stores, seeing none on their shelves, just gave it up today.

Those steel pads used back in the day. “Brillo Soap Pads” They weren’t bad just out of the package, but used a few times, enough to cause rust - they would leave little metal slivers in your hands and fingers! OUCH!

Put a slug of vinegar in your dish water to get rid of the grease.

If you have a major grease issue use some in the hot rinse water as well.

My SIL works for a small catering company (doing food prep). Someone brought in the Dawn Powerwash Dish Spray. They use a lot of olive oil & have many ‘greasy/oily’ dishes - all are going nuts over this Powerwash Spray - said it took the oil/grease right off. My SIL was really excited about it & said it made their cleanup a lot easier.

I saw it in Walmart the other day - only a couple of bottles. I didn’t buy any, but if I see it again, I will since I use beef tallow, bacon grease, butter & avocado oil for cooking - my measuring spoons/cups, in particular, are hard to get really grease/oil free.
