DIY Dawn Powerwash Recipe

Step 1

Squeeze a small amount of dish soap into a spray bottle, then fill the remainder of the bottle with water. (I just eyeballed the amounts here, but I probably used about 1 tablespoon of soap and 10 ounces of water.)I recommend using a continuous spray bottle if you can get your hands on one. If you’ve already got an empty bottle of Powerwash at home, you can simply refill that bottle!

Step 2

You can also add a splash of white vinegar to the bottle to help fight hard water and mineral content in your water, and a couple of drops of lemon essential oil for added grease-cutting power wouldn’t go amiss either (but both the vinegar and lemon oil are totally optional!)Replace the spray top and shake the bottle gently to mix.

Step 3

As you prep and cook your food, spray each dirty dish generously with the dish spray before setting it in the sink.Later on, once you’re finished eating and ready to clean up the kitchen, the dish spray will have worked its magic! Whether you choose to scrub the dishes by hand or load them into the dishwasher, your dishes will be sparkling clean in no time.
