Has anyone else tried the new Dawn Powerwash cleaner? So far I am impressed. I must have gallons of Dawn around here. It is what I clean the animals with, what I clean just about everything with to be honest. Doesn't take much at all. But it still requires water.
Well gave the Powerwash a try on some dried crap on dishes that I pulled from the 16 year olds bedroom. Don't even get me started, some days you just have to pick your battles. However, I figured if the Powerwash worked on that stuff sans any water it might be worth stocking for just in case. Well, it works. Bigly. Took disgusting dish as is, sprayed with Powerwash. Less than 30 seconds later 90%+ of the grossness wiped off with a paper towel. Good deal. They say rinse afterwards but all I had to do was take a damp papertowel and there was zero soap film. How did I check that? Don't laugh ... I licked the plate to see if I tasted soap. Hmmm. Nothing so I figured a damp wipe out will be sufficient "rinse" if we are without water or need to conserve water for some reason.
Next tried it on a copper skillet my daughter had accidentally "charcoaled" some eggs and potatoes in. OMG. I don't know how many times I have to tell them you don't cook on high but they grew up learning on teflon and I don't really use that kind of pan any longer. So anyway, I'm tired of using carbon cleaner on my skillets (the fumes are horrible) and tried this. I had to let the Powerwash set about five minutes but it got about 90% of the new charcoal off without scrubbing. That alone was worth it. I did it a second pass and it took the remainder off that would come off with something a little less than sandblasting. It means I don't have to use the carbon-off stuff except in a very limited way and means that I don't have to then re-scrub and re-wash just to make sure I'm not poisoning anyone with oven cleaner like chemicals. And no, didn't lick the skillet. Bleck.
So, was wondering if anyone else had tried this stuff and with what results?
