| daquan's Full Review: Dawn Direct Foam Dishwashing Detergent |
WHY THIS NEW DAWN FORMULA?
Well, as usual, and with most Dawn products, I saw this new formula advertised on the TV commercial. I thought to myself; " What else could top the grease-cutting power of regular Dawn? There's just nothing out there. "
Didn't think much of it, but later on, curiosity was killing the cat, so while in the supermarket one day, I saw this Dawn Direct Foam sitting on the shelf. Interesting thing too, because that very same weekend, I had planned to make some beef stock for soup, which requires roasting and boiling beef bones to do it.
But anyway, I picked up a bottle of Dawn Direct Foam with the intent to try it later on something that was very utterly greasy.
WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT THIS NEW FORMULA OVER REGULAR DAWN?
This new formula, even though it's liquid in the bottle, it is pumped from the bottle in squirts of foam. It is very powerful and it truly works! All you do is turn to release the pump on the bottle, pump the the handle once to get a shot of foam onto a damp but not soaking wet sponge or dish rag.
According to the directions, the foam works best with very little water. Just the slightly dampened sponge. And you just wash & rinse the item normally.
HOW DID IT DO?
Remember the beef bones that I mentioned above for making beef soup stock with? Well, after first roasting them in the oven to brown them, then adding the other stuff to them, dumping them into my big 17-qt. stock pot and letting them simmer overnight to get all of the goodness & flavor out of them, I later strained the stock sometime the next morning.
As we all know, beef has an awful lot of fat, so beef bones are no exception. The roasting pan and the stockpot was heavily laden with so much grease after I was done making the soup stock. This was the perfect time to put the Dawn Direct Foam to good use to see if it truly works like they say it does.
I followed the directions very closely, making sure that I was doing it right, and oh my stars, that stuff got rid of all that grease! The roasting pan had baked-on residue after deglazing it. No problem. Dawn Direct Foam killed it all, making short work of it! The stockpot came out sparkling clean with not one trace of grease! Inside & outside the pot. All of the grease was gone as if it was sucked up by a vacuum cleaner!!
Even the most stubborn grease and dried-on, baked-on food
residue is no match for Dawn Direct Foam!
HOW IS THIS FORMULA SO POWERFUL?
The powerful concentration of the foaming action and the fact that very little, or hardly any water is needed during washing, makes this formula absorb 10 times more grease than regular Dawn. It can also help you save money because you use very little of this stuff for greasy dishes, flatware, pots & pans.
The true secret behind this technologically advanced formula is, that when the foam is on the sponge, and you begin washing an item, grease is trapped within the foamed sponge in tiny microscopic pieces, sucking it up & suspending it there to keep it away from the item you are washing, as well as helping to prevent grease redeposition onto other things. When you rinse the item, the foam and the grease is sent packing down the drain!
So, not only will you eliminate one of dishwashing's nastiest & messiest problems - greasy items, but you also get a much clearer rinsing and the detergent rinses away without taking forever to get it out of the sponge!
In fact, just one pump cleans a whole sink full of dishes! Just keep the foam in the sponge and don't rinse it out until all the dishes are done.
IN WHAT FRAGRANCES DOES THIS FORMULA COME IN?
Dawn Direct Foam comes in a choice of three fragrances; Fresh Rapids, Lime Surge and Citrus Kick. I bought the Citrus Kick formula. Not that the other two don't work. I'm sure that they ALL work very well.
OTHER USES:
Can also be used as an antibacterial hand soap. Again, one pump is all it takes.
REFILLS AVAILABLE:
Once you've bought the pump bottle, you never have to buy another one again because it is refillable. Just buy the larger money-saving refill bottle and add the formula to the pump bottle when necessary.
OVERALL?
Overall, I'd say that this new Dawn formula has met and exceeded my expectations! Though I still use regular Dawn, I find this newer formula quite useful for getting out of some pretty greasy situations.
FINAL THOUGHTS?
Yes! Get this new Dawn formula asap! You'll be glad that you did.
WHERE TO BUY IT?
Most supermarkets have this new Dawn formula, as well as CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, Kmart & Target. It can be found in the dishwashing liquids section.
PRECAUTIONS:
Keep out of the reach of children.
In case of accidental ingestion, drink a glass of water to dilute.
If eye contact occurs, simply rinse thoroughly with water.
Contains no phosphates.
