Dawn Platinum Plus Lemon Scent Dish Spray is a strong grease cleaner that also works well on classroom desks and has been called the best dish detergent for individual dishes. The deal price is attractive, though the final cost has landed around $3 after Subscribe and Save for some orders. The main drawback is the lemon scent, which comes across as very strong and even off to some noses. A dependable cleaner if the fragrance is not a dealbreaker.
Shoppers who want a dish spray for everyday dishwashing, because soap and water alone still cleaned dishes well without the alcohol step.
Households cleaning greasy cookware, because the original formula is described as breaking down heavy grease better than homemade soap-and-water mixes.
The lemon scent is reported as very strong, and some find it off or unpleasant. If you want a milder option, Green Apple or the Pine seasonal scent is suggested instead.
Yes, it works well on classroom desks and is also described as a strong grease-fighter for heavily dirty dishes. For lighter cleaning, a homemade soap-and-water mix may be enough, while the original formula is preferred for tougher grease.
The price can land around $3 after Amazon Subscribe & Save, and it has been as low as $1.49 at times in March and April. The posted deal price is $2.40 with coupon and S&S, but the final total can vary by account and coupon eligibility.
I love this stuff but refuse to buy this scent ever again. Normally I love lemon, but this one is "off." Go with the Green Apple or the Pine seasonal one if you can get it.
You can make it yourself for next to nothing with Dawn, rubbing alcohol and water.
I get to post this every time these deals pop up.
Other dawn products are all missing the most important solvent thst makes powerwash work so well (Dipropylene Glycol Butyl Ether). The home recipe may work okay for many but it will not perform as well as the original when it comes to grease fighting capability. Personally I make s bottle of home made for general use then save the real stuff for the hella greasy and dirty stuff.
If you are dedicated you can buy the solvents missing form regular dawn and add them to your home made recipe and it will be much cheaper still if you are willing to go that extra mile.
