![Dawn Powerwash Refill Hack [Refill for Less Than $0.50]](/img/tr.png)
Okay, this is weird. I texted my wife to pick up some Dawn Powerwash less than an hour ago. When she got home I asked if the store had the Dawn. It did. Then, I opened TH-cam and this video popped up. Tell me that Google isn’t monitoring everything we do on our devices and that it might also be listening to us.
Yep, definitely creepy but that’s the world we live in now.
What really scares the crap out of me is when I'm thinking something and I'm reasonably sure I never spoke out loud and something pops up on my phone. Like it's predicting my next thought from things I've searched or said.
@@cathyl4622happens to me a lot recently almost as if my mind is being read🤔🤨
I was just doing dishes with my roomate and i was showing him how the powerwash worked and he liked using it. 10 minutes later a suggested video on youtube when I mainly watch psychology videos. Yes if you have a phone everything you say is being recorded and the data is sold and trust the tech companies and government its all for you own good lol
I ran out of Dawn Powerwash last night and this came up in my recommendations... 😳
this mixture is great to kill bugs, several years ago i had those stink bugs in my home, hearing that your not supposed to squash them because they emit a scent to draw more stink bugs i decided to make this mixture in my one spray bottle, i'd spray it on the bug, it foams up and smothers them. then scoop them up and out in the trash. it also works on other creepy crawlys too. i keep a bottle handy just for this, no toxic bug sprays.
Ever since I moved from the West Coast to the Midwest, I've never seen stinkbugs or all the other creepy crawlies out here in the boonies lol I'm going to do this, thanks for the idea!!
Why not just gently capture and relocate the stinkbug to outside?
Thanks for the information 👍
@@rcat32 i have a fear of bugs, and the farther away from me they are the better. so i don't want to capture any living bug, unless a honey bee, i will save them if possible. i don't like flies, ants, or any creepy crawly, flying bug. i know there are those who would just pick it up and walk it outside but that isn't me. also as far as i know stink bugs have no purpose. thank you for the suggestion though i'm sure someone else believes they should be allowed to crawl on this earth.
@@rcat32 very valid point
same for foaming hand soap. about a half inch of hand soap then water. If it's too thin add a little more soap. My bottle of soft soap has lasted yrs so far
Thank you for this recipe! Saves a lot of money, we go through a bottle every few weeks.
I use platinum Dawn and use less than 1 oz of it (I don't measure it exactly to be honest, I just eyeball it)
I didn't remember you putting vinegar in there all I saw was the water alcohol and the dawn I guess I missed it thank you for the video it's the first time it wasn't annoying to watch because you did what you said you were going to do quick and to the point.
His recipe doesn't use vinegar... just 13oz water, 2oz Dawn, and 1oz alcohol
Dawn Is really useful for sure and a little goes a long way.
Costco has a 3 packs for $10.
thanks a bunch!
Thank You.
*THANKS!!*
Anxiously waiting for your next video :"How to make your own gasoline for $0.49 per gallon".!
I’ll get to work!! 🤣
Just re-elect Trump!
@@otpyrcralphpierre1742 LMAOFOTF! 100% We NEED to re-elect Trump because EVERYONE knows that Trump is FULL OF GAS....Who knows? He MIGHT give us his gas, for FREE!
Count me in. I'll be waiting for that also
Your neighbor has free gas. Lol just kidding.
2 oz. Dawn 1 oz. Isopropyl Alcohol 13 oz. Water equals 16 oz. savings.
the actual FOAMING comes from the mechanism itself, you'll see in this bottle & in other hand-soap foaming bottles that the pump top has an extra component that the other bottles do not, that's the piece that causes the FOAMING.
---the alcohol helps with streaking but is not needed, however, it might also help as a disinfectant on surfaces & in your hand soap.
This is what I’ve always used to refill all of my foaming pump hand wash solution. I’ve been doing this since the foaming pump was invented, LOL! The best antibacterial soap around!
Thank you. You saved me wading through nearly four minutes of blah blah blah blah. To the video poster: - people that clicked this ALREADY KNOW WHY they want to do this, you don't need to sell it. Could have been a 45 second long video - give the damn ingredient ratio and be done with it.
Thank you.
I never dreamed that i could do this myself 😂
I have an all-purpose cleaner that's 1/3 water/alcohol/ vinegar with 1 tbsp Dawn dish soap. The combo is a powerhouse combo.
Thanks for sharing!!
will Ajax dish soap do the same job?
I will try this! Thanks. Might add 1-2 droppers full of orange or lemon oil.
@@MadLadsAnonymous Oh, that would be perfect. Both smell so nice.
1/3 cup of each?
A professional window washer told me he uses windshield ashing fluid and alcohol added to prevent the solution from freezing on the window during winter work. I was in hes shop and saw cases of automotive windshield washing fluid stacked up.
For anyone with arthritis or other hand problems, save a mr clean freak spray bottle for this. The sqeezing mechanism is softer and easier to sqeeze.
I personally didnt like the smell of Mr Clean freak so I poured it into a empty gatorade bottle and use a cap full to clean the toilet. Only but them on sale unless you need it sooner. The professional spray bottles in the garden section at Wal-Mart work really well as well.❤
I’m at the age where I struggle with bottle tops. And who the hell prints black letters on a red background should be put in jail
Do not put toxic chemicals into food or beverage containers. You never know who will find it and get into it... Or if you'll forget one day. Don't you watch the chubbyemu videos?
I have both, and haven’t noticed the difference. I’ll have to pay closer attention.
Remember to only buy the name brand, Dawn. We recently bought Kirkland Signature from Costco, and it is NOT the same at all! Takes way more soap than Dawn, and it still doesn't dissolve the grease very well.
The Kirkland Tide Pods are horrible too. My sons wife asked me how I was washing my cloths while visiting because the colors were bright. I use Tide Pods. Now that's all she uses.
I can’t wait to try this. When I bought my first bottle of power wash I cleaned everything with it and it worked beautifully. Bottle is empty now and I keep forgetting to buy more. Thanks for this, I can refill it tonight.
Nice!!
I'm assuming you rinse the dishes of course but do you have to rinse off your counters as well after using this mixture?
Thanks for the tip.
Here's another helpful tip: to pretty much eliminate the chances of things foaming up, put the water and the alcohol in the bottle first and then add the soap! After you have finished pouring in all your ingredients and put on the cap, then you'll need to give it a bit of a shake to mix things up.
doing it this way also you won't have soap on so many containers.
My thoughts exactly.
And use some kind of rubber/silicone pot scraper thingy to get all the Dawn out of the measuring cup.
this really makes sense.
@@wineboxThose are called spatulas in the US.
Awesome!!❤thanks so much!!!😊
You are so welcome!
I mix one part dawn, three parts vinegar and three parts water to make the best shower cleaner I’ve ever used. The vinegar cuts the body oils and soap/shampoo and the dawn is a surfactant/grease cutter. I got this from the net years ago and it works beautifully.
It's coincidence
I always thin my dish soap container with water cause it clogs up, plus saves $. For laundry stains I use Dawn +baking soda+peroxide mix. Let sit a minute. Now I have another use with alcohol! Thanks!♥️
I'm commenting to help this on the algorithm but I just tried something new! I put the empty POWERWASH container on a food scale and added all of these ingredient straight into the bottle. It didn't bubble up this way and I didn't have to dirty any measuring cups or spoons! Hope this helps!
Measurement of weight vs measurement of volume/ capacity gives you a different quantity.
@tracyjulien3287 it's a cleaning spray. We'll live
I'm a professional cleaner and this is what I do. 30mls / 1oz of 99% isopropyl alcohol and 45mls /1.5 oz of Dawn Platinum and the rest water. I do still keep real Powerwash in my kit and use it in lieu of a heavy duty degreaser or oven cleaner but this homemade stuff I use on everything. I even premix the alcohol & Dawn in the bottles and keep in my kit and then add the water onsite to keep weight down. I use 1-2 to 3/4 bottle a day so the savings really adds up.
@@carterribbible Hi.. What size bottle do you use for your recipe? Thanks. 🌷
Add it in one ingredient at a time and mark the bottle.
If you spend the extra buck or so to get the liquid Dawn Platinum, it works even better. I was kinda shocked at how much better the Platinum is vs. the "regular" Dawn (which is way better than just about every other liquid out there already!)
I always use Platinum anyway, there is a difference for sure!
I agree
Same. Platinum is better. I make my own cleaning ingredients using Dawn and dissolved Steramine tablets with vinegar or alcohol, depending on what I’m cleaning.
I'm kind of interested in trying the new Dawn Industrial, sold in gallons for companies and is a bit pricey to satisfy my curiosity. 😃
I've been cleaning my entire house with Dawn Platinum, best product out there.
Awesome video! The 91% isopropyl works a lot better than the 70% version.
I’m going to try the 99% stuff! Haha
@@WanderingWeekends 😂
Just use a little more of the weaker isopropyl alcohol.
@@buddyboy4x44 or use only 11 oz H2O! (Percentage concentration is a measure of how much solute is dissolved in every 100 units of solution.)
70% is best because it will kill germs. 99% is not as effective because it evaporates too quickly. Hospitals, labs etc use 70%.
I just literally discovered two days ago how to combine Dawn Power Wash with a Magic Eraser to scrub the water stains from my stainless steel kitchen sink! Very minimal effort and sink looks bran new. Years of marks were just gone! I use Power Wash to clean the tiles in my bedroom floor. So good!
I ran out of liquid hand soap. I took the large bottle of body wash and added water. It saved me a lot of $.
Thanks so very much! My husband got me my first bottle of that foamy Dawn and I was amazed at how fast it cuts through grease. Yep, it’s expensive but I am hooked on it, now I am thrilled that I can make it myself. Thanks again for your research!
For 15 years people laughed at me for putting Dawn and water in a spray bottle lol Then they came out with Powerwash!! lol
😂😂😂 Who’s laughing now…I salute you, sir.
I keep dawn and water in a spray bottle in the bathroom to use as a laundry pre-treatment. Just spray the stain and toss in the laundry basket. Wash on your regular laundry day and the stain is gone.
Look at you doing the Lord's work by saving people coins...thank you.❤
Thank you for this. I came across this video and ran back downstairs to get my empty bottle out the recycle bin. I’m gonna make my own potions.
I dam near tripped over the couch reading your comment😂😂 I just threw away my bottle. Ty 😂😂
Dawn is the best invention since air conditioning and indoor plumbing!! This stuff is amazing..
it’s also a great flea dip for pets.
My vet even told me to bath my Westie in Dawn to get rid of fleas and get her white again! Guess if it’s gentle enough for baby ducks, it’s good enough for my fur baby. ❤❤❤❤
Multiply that by ALL the products that are being marketed just like this. Big companies are price gouging. I saw Tide for $29.00 in walmart. It claimed 6 mos. of laundry (10 loads/ month). What a waste of money.I do more like 20 loads a month. I have stopped buying dryer sheets, put up my clothesline and cut usage for other products. Where there is a will, there is a way. Oh, BTW, I can afford these things, but it infuriates me and insults my intelligence that the public is being cheated every time they go to the store. Also, mix your own products is another way to save.
I do the same thing. I refuse to be price gouged. I started making creamy concentrated laundry detergent a decade ago. Love it!
You can make your own laundry soap if you haven’t already and it cleans just as good as the bad expensive stuff from the store. Borax, washing soda, baking soda, oxiclean, zote or other laundry bar or like me I make my own coconut oil soap and shred that. Mix altogether and you have laundry soap for about a year if you do normal washing. Recipes all over TH-cam and you only use like 1 or 2 tablespoons per load. You can even make a liquid soap too. Save save save where you can.
Such a money saver! Great for cleaning up a greasy stove stop!
Works like a champ!
TIP - Friends make sure it’s the ULTRA version of the Dawn soap otherwise it won’t form the foamy spray once used .
I'll have to give this a try. I believe I used platinum and it doesn't foam very well at all with the recipes I've tried
Thank you for this recipe, I just bought one Power Wash and told my husband to take it easy because of the price. This is a great video!
I’ve had my power wash bottle for 2 years. I just had dawn dish soap and water. It works the same.
I have another spray bottle with 70% alcohol, 4 drops dawn, rest water and that is my house cleaner, window, bathroom , and tile floors
Sounds great! What do you use for washing walls? My walls are semi gloss
I really use watered down dawn for everything, but if I want a good smell I use a bit of lemon, pine, fabuloso...whatever I have or in the mood for
Heavily disagree, it does not work as well.
As the original inventor having publish the formula many times for years online it is hydrogen peroxide being the ingredient. No reason to add alcohol unless you are really going after some very greasy stuff which should be well wiped first. Dilute the hydrogen peroxide, 3% common grade, with half water. If you want a fine six legged insect killer , not spiders, or more virulent mix, use the 3% hydrogen peroxide full strength. This will quickly end any six legged insect. I use for wasp like hornets. Nice thing about this mix is it is not toxic to humans.
Spiders are good as they eat bugs. Get rid of bugs and spiders go away!
Biden told me gas is at a normal price.
Oh I thought it was just me. I use Palmolive in my Dawn bottle. Put just a little soap in and 90% of water. I didn't know about the alcohol. Love it! Saving me money. Can you do Comcast Internet next? Lol.
Thank you ! I can't wait to try this. I had tried just dosh soap + water, and failed. It didn't produce foam, just soapy water that looked very flat, no bubbles, lol. I'll use your recipe and possibly experiment with the amount of isopropyl alcohol. 👍
Funny thing... Dawn seems to be watching these videos because their containers only work for 3 or 4 refills. I think that is intentional.
Yes, the bottle can't be used to long before they stop spraying. It is intentional !
Any body else notice how regular dawn doesn't chase the oil away. When I was a kid I could put a drop in the pan of water and watch it all go to the sides.
No it does not, I’ve used for years
dtill works with the dawn I buy you must be buying the water down stuff at the dollar store
I bought dawn power wash at Ollie for little over $3. I stocked up but will make my own from now on! Thank you for your information!
🌸There's denatured alcohol in Dawn PowerWash, the Denatured is a solvent that is the secret ingredient that's makes the difference in the cleaning Power. It is different from regular isopropyl alcohol. You video is a great alternative, thank you Sir. 🙏
@jstaffordii Yes Sir. It's a solvent. It's the special ingredient to cutting through the crud....God Bless 🙏
Where does one get denatured alcohol?
@tsci1739 Amazon, Walmart sometimes carries it, Home depot, etc.....
@@jstaffordii thank you so much!
Denatured alcohol is just Ethyl alcohol with a lot of foul tasting ingredients added so that people won't drink it. Ethyl alcohol is the alcohol that we consume - i.e. Vodka.
It is GREAT for cleaning the trays and baskets from an air fryer. Generally these items should NOT be put in a dishwasher as eventually it destroys the non stick characteristics
Dawn Powerwash is awesome. I use it for virtually everything.
I do something very similar with pet and person safe bug spray. I use the aerating type sprayer from other products. It zaps flies, mosquitoes, gnats, wasps right out of the air onto the floor where I can vacuum them up or let nature take her course outside. My secret ingredient is oil of eucalyptus and rosemary.
I have been doing this for months 😊 I just read the ingredients on the bottle and saw alcohol was one of the main ingredient
TY. 5 minute recipe. I ALWAYS have Isopropyl on hand!
Great tip !! Yes that little spray bottle is very expensive so I'm definitely gonna make some of this stuff 😊
Thank you! And that's so true gas prices are way expensive too 🤨
13 oz of water and 2 oz of dawn and alcohol 1 oz. Is dawn power wash
!
alcohol was what i was missing. i even fill up my foam soap dispenser at the sink with mixture, everybody like using my dawn up. so i put it in there too.
My wife's name is Dawn and she does a great job with the dishes! 😂
Kidding aside, I've a small spray bottle at the kitchen sink, which I've used for a long time. Fill it with water, add a few drops of basic Dawn dish liquid, and spray my glasses with it, rinse under the tap and shake off.
Glasses never get scratched from wiping!
Not sure why everyone demands a foaming action. 🤔
There it is Dawn is the main ingredient. I love Dawn with any combos. It truly does the job. Thank you for sharing. Appreciate it. 😊
Thank you The same formula will work to refill foaming hand washing soap bottles
Yes but there’s no need for the alcohol for hand soap.
Just fill your empty foaming soap container about 1/4 full of dish soap and fill the rest with water. Put cap on and shake.
@@LifeIsThePrayer My experience with my foaming bottles is it foams better with some alcohol.
I just put about 1/5 dish soap in a shallow dish fill it about 2/3 of the way up with water, gently mix it together and dip my sponge into the mixture as needed and it works great. I learned this from my ex sister in law that grew up in another country and had to find ways to cut costs for having a large family. I now have an adult child that uses the same tactic in his home. I was so thankful to learn some cleaning skills from her. It has helped me so much being a single mother raising my child on a single income. Ty for the video.
I like foaming handsoap. I got an empty dispenser from sa friend put enough dawn to cover the bottom then fill with warm water and put top on and swirl liquid to mix. That free dispenser is six years old and still working. Mix 10X a year X 6 years X$4 abottle is $240savings
The original works better on tough cleaning jobs ,but this one will do great for light duty cleaning !! Compared them both and this was my conclusion .
Maybe because the original uses denatured alcohol instead of isopropyl alcohol like the refill does.
I don’t even measure I just eyeball it 🤷🏽♀️🤣🤣
My boss at work taught me this awhile back whenever power wash first came out. I haven’t paid full price but once just to get the spray bottle
Thank you, I made this once and forgot the recipe, looked on line and found one that used vinegar and it didn’t foam and smelled like vinegar, so glad I found your video as I vaguely remember using alcohol. I’m saving this video for my lapse of memory
Blessings 🙏🏾
Thanks so much! I’m just running out of my power wash but now I don’t have to go out and buy more 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽✌️.
I've never used Powerwash. Does it work on the yellow gummy crap under the stove vent hood? The only thing I found that really works for that is 30% ammonia, but the fumes are ferocious so I'd like to find something that doesn't qualify as a chemical weapon.
Try fume free oven cleaner.
The top on the bottle is called a foaming soap dispenser or foaming pump. You might be able to find one fairly cheaply at soap making stores or even $1 stores that has a liquid hand soap in it.
Thank you . I tried the watered down dawn. Clogged up. I managed to clean it out but had to buy the real thing. I won’t have to now!
Would suggest using distilled water, esp. if you have hard or very soft tap water. This formula does work !
Thanks Corey! Wish I had seen this before I bought the refill💸
Next time!
I save B. And Bodyworks foaming wash containers and replace with this mixture without the alcohol. I keep this by the kitchen sink. I always have hand soap in a plain dispenser.
Yesssss! I love Powerwash! Nothing cuts grease like Dawn!
I add a splash of dishwasher drying liquid - it works well
Interesting!
I make this mixture to clean the bathroom and if there a lot of soap scum sprinkle baking soda and scrub, rinse well and dry works great very economical.
I work at a grill I've been mixing this stuff for a year or so works great.
Thanks for sharing this with us.
This is the steps I did.... straight into the bottle.
Into measure cup
Water
Pour water into bottle.
Dawn in measure cup & then into bottle.
Alcohol in measure cup & swish around to remove excess dawn.
Then into bottle. Replace nozzle & swirl around to mix in bottle.
Worked great!!
Believe it or not
I cleaned my garage floor that had caked oil on it
I poured it on the floor, left it sit for 5 minutes and used a broom to clean it.
I didn't have to scrub either.
And I don't have grease stains. 😮
Hope you have more DIY recipes for us campers, and RVer's. Thank you for sharing.
Perfect!! Easy to do & great instructions. I wrote the measurements & instructions & printed it out. THANK YOU!!!
I also make my own foaming soap for waaay cheaper than refills!
That I like, and we have plenty of all three ingredients! Thank you!!!
I tried this the first time I ran out, but didn't use the alcohol. Worked, but not well. Know I know the secret ingredient. Thanks
As good as we can be! Thanks for the info, hope you are good too!
Thanks for the tip.
The actual [not so] secret ingredient (it's listed first on the list of ingredients) is denatured alcohol, not isporopyl rubbing alcohol (which is about 10% water). However, isopropyl seems to work, and if you don't have any denatured alcohol sittiing around, it's cheaper.
Thank you.
I bought a 1.75 liter bottle of cheap vodka that still cost $15 but it does work like an astringent. I originally wanted to use it as a sub for perfumer's alcohol. I suppose plain vinegar, bottled lemon or lime juice would also do just fine for mixing with dish soap
Its hard to get denatured alcohol in some areas. I use it to clean my Sublimation printer.
This is the content I'm here for. 🙌
It's not just the foaming there's surfactants that cleans things I've tried this formula side by side on a dirty baking sheet.myou can see the grima Turn the foam blue on the real side and nothing on the home made version side.
Honest question - how does diluted-watered down Dawn you are making here work better than using straight Dawn?
Imagine how watered down dawn is when you wash dishes.
@@WanderingWeekends Yes but I did not expect the Power Wash to be watered down. I thought it was stronger strength then regular Dawn and that is why it works so well.
@@WanderingWeekends But I'm still gonna try to make this like you show :) thanks
Thanks I love saving money like this with stuff I already have
Any tip on how to make the perfect window home spray for my dirty condo windows ?
I have found out that it removes black streaks on my camper
Now I can do this cheaper
Powerwash is awesome! Thanks for the hack!
I need to read the. bottle. I would have sworn this stuff contained extra lye.
Can’t wait to try this when I run out!
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for and your video is quick and straightforward.
So glad it was helpful!!
Fun Fact: Outside of the USA (and maybe Canada) Dawn is known as "Fairy." They changed the name when the detergent was introduced to the USA in the 70s as they figured the Fairy wouldn't fly there.
Boy it would now...
So basicly Dawn in Canada is called Trudeau.
No, in Canada it's Dawn.
the actual FOAMING comes from the mechanism itself, you'll see in this bottle & in other hand-soap foaming bottles that the pump top has an extra component that the other bottles do not, that's the piece that causes the FOAMING.
---the alcohol helps with streaking but is not needed, however, it might also help as a disinfectant on surfaces & in your hand soap.
On the bright side ,foaming over, I had the cleanest kitchen sink.
I love using this stuff ..
Where we are it's about $6 a bottle ...
I will definitely use your mixture
It's always good to save money thanks for the tip😊
Especially these days!
Sure thing 👌
There are a ton of very good DIY All purpose cleaners (APC), but Dawn contains propriety and patented ingredients. Good stuff. I prefer alcohol in my APC like yours.
Do you use to clean walls that are painted semi gloss? Looking for a great cleaner
@@Mygraciously Alcohol is somewhat corrosive and will strip paints and also some plastic. Its best left for hard surfaces. To clean my wall I would replace with either hydrogen peroxide or vinegar.
My formula is basically: 1 gallon water, 2 cups of alcohol and 1 tbsp of Dawn. I make adjustments to it if I’m into heavy cleaning. You can sub 2c peroxide or vinegar, your choice.
Wow. I didn't know you can do that. This was a great tip to try. Thanks 👍
You’re welcome!!
You got to be kidding me. I been paying all this money🤦🏼♀️ Thank you
