HOMEMADE DAWN POWERWASH for $0.49 // The Secret Ingredient is KEY

[@David-jo4gt]

2 oz. Dawn 1 oz. Isopropyl Alcohol 13 oz. Water equals 16 oz. savings.

[@imissnickplur4964]

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.

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.

[@diamondringirl]

doing it this way also you won't have soap on so many containers.

[@fishnlady]

Thanks! This is a huge money saver! FYI - stop buying the dishwasher rinsing solutions. Use white vinegar in your dishwasher’s rinse cycle compartment. Works like a charm. Also, that expensive toilet spray you’re paying $6 for is 3/4 water. Make your own by mixing 20-40 drops of essential oils with a small squirt of alcohol. Fill it up with water leaving room to shake it before spraying it on your toilet water. I call mine Shake & Spray. On average, a 1 ounce bottle of EO have 600 drops. A 1 ounce bottle of peppermint EO is about $7.50. You’ll have enough for at least 20 bottles. Your cost - less than $.50!

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.

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 KZbin 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.

Add 1/2 tsp of salt to it and it will take it to a whole new level. Thanks for sharing!

[@JahleeyahKalonji]

yup, soap is a salt

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

[@bonniebon7335]

@@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.

man, my son just bought power wash yesterday, and here's the recipe to fill the old bottle. Welp, now I have three foamy bottles and THANK YOU for the recipe to fill them all! Later: I tried the formula with 70% isopropyl alcohol and it barely foamed. Doubled the Dawn and now it's good. Yes, it's the platinum Dawn. Works good.

I love using this stuff .. Where we are it's about $6 a bottle ... I will definitely use your mixture

[@52msladybug]

I had to come back to your video because it was simple and to the point! Thank you for this!!

[@WanderingWeekends]

Glad it helped!!

[@jesusisalive3227]

Powerwash is awesome! Thanks for the hack!

[@ronmexico5908]

You can also add each ingredient directly into the sprayer. If you weigh the ingredients you don't have to volume measure them, just go by a scale

[@user-pk2fg8im4u]

As good as we can be! Thanks for the info, hope you are good too!

[@terrancewilhite9260]

I am using just watered down dawn in my spray bottles. I buy the bottles from a janitor supply house at 2.50 er bottle. I will try the alcohol in it.

[@chuckredd9131]

The BEST spray bottles are the "Zep" brand. Lowes, Tractor supply carries them. Zep products are also very good.

[@IAMNArtGirl]

Is the janitor supply house local to your area? Do you know the name(s) of any online retailers of janitorial supplies?

[@Jennifer_Lewis_Beach_Living]

Dawn Powerwash is awesome! It cleans grease really well! I also often use Dawn, peroxide and distilled water as a cleaner and disinfectant. I’ll need to try this trick to help save money because you are correct - Powerwash is expensive.
