Scrubbing off stubborn baked-on food isn’t exactly a party — until you crank up a killer playlist and bring in a dish soap that means business. Enter: Dawn Platinum Plus PowerSuds.
This new dish soap from the classic brand isn’t simply dish soap, but rather a high-powered cleaning solution designed to trap and lock grease to make cleaning a breeze. The latest addition to its dish soap arsenal, Dawn PowerSuds is the brand’s latest reminder that it’s always got your back when it comes to kitchen cleanup.
No longer will you dread those massive sink pile-ups from nightly meal-prepping, dinner parties, or outright busy weeks. Keep reading to learn more, and to see what our Good Housekeeping Institute has to say about the product.
Trap & Lock Technology
PowerSuds is a game-changer for anyone who often has a full sink’s worth to scrub, be it a busy mom, a private chef, or those of us without dishwashers. What sets it apart from other dish soaps is its Trap & Lock technology, a hardworking formula that prevents grease from passing from dish to dish while you wash, making it ideal for a giant sinkful.
And when combined with warm water, PowerSuds also creates twice the suds of normal dish soap, which helps remove 99% of grease from each and every dish, according to the manufacturer. Which means you can rid your cast iron of that stubborn fish smell after cooking up a crisp-skinned salmon, clean your wineglasses until they sparkle and easily remove the dressing residue from your lunch salad container.
Even better? It contains ingredients to minimize spotting on glassware and encourage quicker drying, which can be a challenge for even some dishwashers to achieve.
First Impressions
Carolyn Forté, executive director of the Good Housekeeping Institute’s Home Care & Cleaning Lab, who recently put Dawn Platinum Plus PowerSuds to the test, found that after she cooked up a breakfast of bacon and home fries, and then shrimp for dinner, the product delivered on its claims. “Even just a little bit of the soap makes lots of long-lasting suds,” she says. “It cut grease very well, and the wash water stayed noticeably cleaner longer, so I could wash more before it needed changing.” With that cleaner water and the Trap & Lock technology, she also discovered that the order in which she washed the dishes didn’t matter. “The glasses came out crystal-clear,” she says — even though she tackled the skillets first.
All of which means Dawn Platinum Plus PowerSuds can make doing your dishes so much easier — would it be too much to say downright fun? Only way to be sure is to try it for yourself.
