Dawn "Dish" Liquid, the Lie (3 Viewers)

[Nisey55]

Buyer beware, I've always used Dawn for the dishes, the apple scent, IDK, guess I like green. Anyway, I keep a large bottle under the sink and fill a pump on the counter. Imagine my surprise when I grabbed the bottle and noticed that I wasn't using Dish soap but antibacterial hand soap, not the grease fighting, baby duck cleaning stuff that's it's known for. What the hell Dawn?

My mind is blown.

I now also have to deep dive on chloroxylenol


What about the Power wash, though? That's what I use.

Little known fact - Dawn is an EXCELLENT, non-toxic fire ant killer. ( or any ant )

Since i have 2 dogs, i use it exclusively and can attest to its ability to decimate a mound within minutes.

And I'm back in. I didn't know this. How do you do it? Like how much do you use? I need deets.

It also works as a wasp spray. Kills wasps in seconds! Put some in a bottle with some water. Cheap safe Wasp killer!

It will also kill fleas,but use it sparingly. It will dry their skin out. The best bet is to have your
pet on a once a moth flea pill

Why do I care if fleas get dry skin?

Dang it quido, kind of early in the day for an attack. I thought it was important enough for it's own headline!

Is it good for butt pimples?

Cerave SA lotion for rough and bumpy skin. (it's the salicylic acid).

So the power wash reduced all other dawns to hand soap. I need to do some homework.

i typically use about half a cup in a gallon bucket, fill up half way ( i figure the more dawn in water mix, the better ) or just a bit more.

When filling, use hose on half or you will end up with 3/4 suds and 1/4 mix lol. you want more mix than suds ( but suds work also )

Since i have a slight sadistic attitude toward fire ants, i usually stir up the mound and poke several deep holes, wait for them to swarm.

Pour.

Lawn chair to view the carnage.

I usually do two buckets like that. Sometimes ill even come behind the pour with hose/jet nozzle and suds up the ground as much as i can.

Oh and it does not harm your lawn either.
