Household products aren’t always used exclusively for their intended purpose, and Dawn Dishwashing Liquid is one of those products. Dawn Dishwashing Liquid has been used to clean the feathers and fur of animals that have become victims of oil spills, and Dawn Dishwashing Liquid has proven to be a very safe and versatile product in and around the home as well. The following information provides alternative uses for Dawn Dishwashing Liquid. Chances are you’ll be able to utilize this wonderful grease-cutting product for a number of fantastic purposes other than washing dishes.
Greasy Hair Problems
Finding a child with chunks of petroleum jelly or half a bottle of baby oil rubbed into their hair is a nightmare to say the least. Even ordinary shampoo won’t cut completely through the grease, but Dawn Dishwashing Liquid can. My neighbor’s two year old son recently smeared an entire jar of petroleum jelly into his hair, and nothing would completely get it out until his father tried Dawn Dishwashing Liquid. This alternate cleaning product is mild enough to use on the hair and strong enough to remove the most stubborn grease. Dawn Dishwashing Liquid made an easy job of an otherwise greasy mess.
Laundry Pretreatment
Many of the stains that end up on clothes are oil-based, and I’ve been disappointed many times by products that are suppose to remove them. I eventually quit buying expensive laundry pretreatment products because I’ve found a fantastic alternative. I use Dawn Dishwashing Liquid on oil-based and protein stains. What better product to remove greasy food stains than something that is typically used to clean dishes? It’s one of the best alternate uses I’ve found. I keep a squirt bottle filled with Dawn Dishwashing Liquid next to the washing machine, and I treat all stains before washing the clothes. My family’s clothes look cleaner than ever since discovering this wonderful alternative product that has so many more uses than expected.
Laundry Soap Alternative
One of my best friends let me in on a little secret the other day. I noticed she had several bottles of Dawn Dishwashing Detergent in her laundry closet, and I asked if she had recently found a great bargain. Surprisingly, my friend wasn’t using it to wash dishes. She discovered an alternate use and has been using Dawn Dishwashing Detergent to wash her family’s clothes for the past few years.
My friend combines 2 cups of Dawn Dishwashing Liquid with 14 cups of ordinary tap water to make her own detergent, and she says it does a fantastic job of cleaning the laundry, especially her husband’s greasy work clothes. She fills an empty laundry detergent bottle, and she uses the lid as a measuring cup. She measures the same amount she would for regular laundry detergent, and she saves a considerable amount of money with this very effective alternative to laundry detergent.
Soap Scum Remover
Years ago I cleaned houses part-time, and the biggest problem I encountered was soap scum on shower doors. I liked my ordinary shower curtain and liner much better, but it was my job to keep my client’s shower doors sparkling clean. My secret to sparkling clean shower doors was Dawn Dishwashing Liquid, and this alternative cleaning product made easy work of an otherwise very difficult job. Soap scum that ordinary bathroom cleaners couldn’t cut was literally dissolved using a mixture of water and Dawn Dishwashing Liquid. I’ve since kept Dawn Dishwashing Liquid on hand for much more than washing dirty dishes. I continually find alternative uses for Dawn Dishwashing Liquid, and I wouldn’t trade it for any amount of expensive store-bought products.
