What exactly is Dawn Powerwash?
Well… it’s a faster way to tackle those greasy dishes, in the form of a spray. It’s kind of like the benefit of soaking grimy dishes overnight, but usually works in only a few minutes.
The only problem is… the spray can be a little pricey.
That’s what brings us to this quick and easy DIY Dawn Powerwash Recipe Refill! Another Homemade Cleaner to the rescue!
Now you’ll be able to mix up your own spray bottle filled with Dawn Powerwash for pennies!
