Is Dawn Soap really so good that it cleans about - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I only use Dawn. My wife bought some of that cheap perfumed up garbage. It was awful. It didn't work. I threw it out and got some Dawn.
I cook a lot and don't want to mess around with cheap junk. Kind of like tools. Get the good stuff and you won't regret it.

I've done the brick or 2x4 thing and it is pretty successful but its a lot of work down on your knees. Also found the Kitty Litter with clay worked the best...don't know if they still make it with clay since I don't have a cat.

Well, Dawn help get rid of unwanted visitors.

All of the pest control is book up with Bee's, and they said take care of it yourself.

2 tbsp of dawn 124oz of water and 4oz of Pyrethrum

Id pull the plug closer to home and the soapy water would drain out. To this day I do it with the Sanger. Some people ask why. Anyone who has ever had to work in a boat bilge never asks.

Dawn would be a little too sudsy for the bilge and would make my boat look like a floating Kardashian party...

Dawn is great on grease . But for oil stains in concrete we always used plain mineral spirits scrubbed with a stiff brush them put dries all on it .

I'll advertise and wear it once I get it greasy

I think my ex wife used Dawn on my bank account. It was really well cleaned out.
It might have been Tide. I'm not sure.

I used Dawn to make my wife jealous. Well it worked but didn't go the way I expected. Turns out my wife got jealous of Dawn being with me, they made up, and took off for Lezzyland. Now I have to wash the dishes!
