When I saw Dawn Powerwash, I thought it was just a gimmick. At around $5 it wasn’t a big investment, and I figured the convenience was worth a few bucks.
Remember several years ago when Dawn came out with a foaming soap? It was just watered down soap in a foaming soap dispenser.
It really wasn’t anything special, but it was convenient to get a bit of foam on a sponge to wipe down the counters or wash one dish.
From the first spray, I was converted. Dawn Powerwash isn’t just a spray dish soap. It’s magic!
But seriously, it does work really well. We mainly use it in the kitchen, but I’ve always found other uses for it around the farm. Particularly in the shop to clean greasy tools.
I also really love it for at the office. We don’t get a lot of dishes there, so we usually clean one or two at a time. This is perfect for that!
When I saw a DIY Dawn Powerwash, I expected it to be just water and blue Dawn. However, there’s another secret ingredient: isopropyl alcohol.

However, the alcohol does change how this Dawn Powerwash refill DIY remove marks from markers, paint, dyes, and other pigments.

No, this copycat Dawn Powerwash does not kill germs. Although you’ll use alcohol when you learn how to make your own Dawn Powerwash refill, it’s not a high enough percent to kill germs.

This makes 16 ounces of DIY Dawn Powerwash. This is enough to refill one bottle. However, you can also double it and store it in a quart mason jar. I’ll have the amounts to use to make 16 ounces, 32 ounces, and a gallon below.
Put the water in an empty Powerwash spray bottle or in a mason jar.
Then add the rubbing alcohol and the Dawn dish soap. Stir gently with a spoon and let sit for several hours.
It’s important to let it sit for several hours so the dish soap and alcohol fully combine with the water. Otherwise, you’ll get inconsistent sprays.
