I’m Done With Liquid Dish Soap. Here’s Why – CNET

A bottle of Dawn dish spray



Dawn dish soap spray is a very welcome addition to my kitchen.

The trickiest part of washing dishes by hand is keeping some liquid soap in the mix since a sponge only holds it for so long. A light drizzle helps, but so much of that soap gets washed away and wasted down the drain. And then there’s the messy business of grabbing that slimy bottle of liquid soap to reapply again (and again). 

Enough already, I say! And the good people at Dawn listened with this brilliant upgrade to a daily household product that we all thought was fully formed. Dawn’s Powerwash Platinum dish spray is new (ish) to the market and solves the problems above with a “technology” that’s been right in front of our eyes the entire time. 

Better yet, I just spotted 4-packs of the genius dish soap spray on sale for $12 on Amazon (normally $17).

How does Dawn dish spray work?

With Powerwash, you spray a mist of dish soap onto your dishes and scrub, or let it sit for a few if you need some time to muster the courage after cooking or eating (where my soakers at?) and then start scrubbing ’em down. The thin soapy liquid is dispersed uniformly across the dishes or pans so you won’t need to worry about spreading the love. If you need more, there’s no cap to flip or bottle to turn upside down; just grab the stuff and spray some more.

I found this soap far more efficient than liquid soap and just as good at cutting grease and helping to lift stubborn, sticky food like fried eggs. It’s tricky to prove, but I know dispensing the soap in spray form also wastes less total product, which is good because it’s a smidge more expensive than traditional liquid soap. What’s more, the replaceable spray nozzle transfers from bottle to bottle, so you’re only buying refill bottoms chock full of beautiful dish spray. 

How much does dish spray cost?

A 16-ounce bottle of Powerwash with one refill sells for about $8.50 on Amazon.

A Dawn Powerwash starter kit with one refill included costs about $8.50 on Amazon. Refill bottles go for about $4 each and are sold in packs of two, four or six (currently on sale!). I’m not much of a scent seeker-outer but there’s an apple and pear fragrance in addition to the standard fresh scent. 

Listen, when I started my week I didn’t think I’d be thinking this much about washing dishes either, but here we are. Doing dishes will never be fun, but Dawn’s new dish spray takes a bit of the edge off. Frankly, that’s just too good not to share.
