10 Uses For Dawn Dish Soap

You may have fond memories of Dawn dish soap as a kid. It seemed as though every household had it and used it. While you might remember your parents using Dawn dish soap to get dishes squeaky clean, did you know it can be used in other ways as well? Take a look below at 10 uses for Dawn dish soap that you can try. You may never look at this blue liquid the same way again!

1. Make mega bubbles.
Dawn dishwashing liquid makes amazing bubbles. To make your own mega bubble solution, simply mix ½ cup of dawn with ½ gallon of warm water. To make them even more mega, add a tablespoon of Karo syrup.

2. Remove price tag residue.
Dawn does a great job at removing price tag residue. If you buy items at thrift stores or garage sales and they have residue on them, just dab on some Dawn and rinse.

3. Enjoy a cheap manicure.
Add a few drops of Dawn to a dish of warm water and let your fingers soak in it. Your nail beds and cuticles will soften right up and your nails will get clean.

4. Bathe your pets.
Many pet owners swear that Dawn is better than any pet soap you can buy. It will remove grime and grease and can even fight fleas.

5. Protect your plants.
Fill a spray bottle with water and add a teaspoon of Dawn dish soap. Spray any plants where pests seem to be a problem. IT will help get rid of old pests and help keep new ones away.

6. Unclog drains.
If your drains are clogged as a result of beauty products and grease, Dawn can help loosen the clog up. Just pour ½ a cup directly into the drain, let sit for 20 minutes, then run warm water.

7. Clean oil stains in clothing.
If you get oil on your clothing, pretreat the stain by rubbing a few drops of Dawn into it. Then, just wash as usual.

8. De-Fog your mirrors.
Wipe over mirrors with a thin layer of Dawn dish soap. Wipe clean. A layer will remain in place that will protect the glass from fog.

9. Clean outdoor furniture.
When dirt and grime builds up on outdoor furniture, banish it with some Dawn dish soap. Just fill a bucket with warm water and ½ a cup of soap and start scrubbing.

10. Wash away hair product residue.
After time, the hair products you use can build up and make your hair dull. Shampoo your hair with a little Dawn dish soap just as you would shampoo, and it will take all of the build up away.

See how practical Dawn dish soap can be? Give these 10 ways to use Dawn dish soap a try in your own home and see what sort of results you can get.

    I had a clogged drain earlier this past week and wish I would have known this before I called the plumber. Great suggestions though.

    I’ve never heard of the Dawn brand before. It’s great that it gets rid of price tag residue because I can never get it off the vases I buy.

  3. Jacqueline says

    Number 10 is sort of true, sort of false… Dawn does leave a residue (like on the mirrors for defogging). This residue is less than say, Pantene shampoo, but there will still be a film. I apple cider vinegar and baking soda if you want to truly remove residue from hair 🙂 We use Dawn for everything around here though too lol 🙂

    I’ve often wondered what would get the oil stains out of clothes. Great tip list. And Happy Easter to you!

    Good to know all these original uses for Dawn dish soap. Those giant bubbles are great! Sounds good to have a Dawn dish soap manicure too.

    • Liz Mays says

      April 6, 2015 at 11:30 am

      What’s summer without bubbles? I need to try it!

  6. Jeanine says

    April 4, 2015 at 11:57 am

    I love dawn. The many uses it has is just fantastic! I use blue dawn which is beyond words amazing I have even used it to get rid of fleas when my darn cat went outside for a few hours and came back with some friends. It’s awesome.

    • Pam says

      April 6, 2015 at 7:35 pm

      We’ve used it for fleas before too. It was surprising how well it worked.

  7. indah nuria Savitri says

    April 4, 2015 at 12:14 pm

    still use it till now and it’s just lovely!

  8. R U S S says

    April 4, 2015 at 12:25 pm

    Geesh, why is it that we don’t have Dawn Dish Soap here? One of its features that I really really like is that it can remove price tag residue. It can be tedious removing price tag residue and it’s annoying when they won’t come off. I normally use oil and hot water to remove them, but I guess if we have Dawn Dish Soap here, my life is going to be a lot easier.

  9. Jessica Beal Harlow says

    April 4, 2015 at 12:30 pm

    I love Dawn! There are sometimes cheaper brands, but they are just that and don’t do half a good a job. I love the tip about cleaning up your indoor plants with it!

    • My Journey With Candida says

      April 5, 2015 at 8:01 pm

      My Daughter has sensitive skin and Dawn is one of the only brands she buys.

  10. Jennifer says

    April 4, 2015 at 12:59 pm

    I love Dawn. I use it for dishes AND for cleaning the bathroom and the tile floors. It works awesome. You just have to make sure you dry the floors thoroughly, or you’ll have your own indoor skating rink.

  11. Kita Bryant says

    April 4, 2015 at 1:26 pm

    I love dawn and have some right now. I didn’t know about the manicure and the clogging of the drain. I need to pin this so I can make sure I utilize my dawn to the fullest.

    • yumeating says

      April 7, 2015 at 1:27 pm

      Dawn is one of the best budget friendly cleaners!

  12. Checking In says

    April 4, 2015 at 1:38 pm

    wow I’ve never heard of this product before, it definitely sounds like one to look out for!

  13. kristimaloney says

    April 4, 2015 at 2:17 pm

    A little Dawn mixed with water is good for cleaning windows too. Use a squeegee and it works great. Great tips!

    • Jennifer says

      April 6, 2015 at 9:13 am

      My mom told me about that one. I was like, “No way. I’ll keep my Windex.” Guess what? She was right – again. It’s so much cheaper to use soapy water to get the windows clean.

  14. Nancy says

    April 4, 2015 at 2:25 pm

    What! News to me! Totally wouldn’t have thought to bathe my dog in dawn dish soap, that’s wicked.

  15. Sage says

    April 4, 2015 at 3:52 pm

    Every time I read about another amazing use for Dawn dish soap, I’m so envious of you Dawn owning people! We don’t have anything in Denmark that even comes close to the amazingness of Dawn 🙁

  16. Tami @ ThisMomsDelight says

    April 4, 2015 at 4:48 pm

    I knew Dawn dish soap was good for getting grease out of clothing, but not all of these great ideas. I will be making my little guy some bubbles.

  17. Qoftwignberry (@Qoftwignberry) says

    April 4, 2015 at 5:26 pm

    I absolutely love Dawn soap…especially in the wake of oil spills and whatnot. Can’t wait to try out the mega bubble recipe…my boys will love you if it works!

    love that you can use household items for lots of things.. i need to soften my cuticles more often this way! 🙂

  19. Rebecca Swenor says

    April 5, 2015 at 8:52 am

    I love Dawn dish soap. This is a great list of things you can do with it. I use it all the time to get grease out of my clothing. Thanks for sharing.

  20. Alissa Apel says

    You have a lot of tips that I never thought about. I should try some of these!

  21. Tammilee Tips says

    April 5, 2015 at 4:08 pm

    I had never heard of some of these uses of Dawn before!! I need to try some of these out!

  22. thelesleyshow says

    April 5, 2015 at 5:10 pm

    My daughter was just asking me today if she could make bubbles out of the dish soap. Lots of good uses for Dawn, brings back memories.

  23. mommiesquietplace: 22qmandy says

    April 5, 2015 at 5:31 pm

    I have sensitive skin where I break out with the harsher dish soaps and Dawn is one dish soap I never react to. We had that BP oil spill in the Kalamazoo River and the team that was cleaning up the River used Dawn dish soap.

  24. toughcookiemommy says

    April 5, 2015 at 6:50 pm

    I’ve always loved Dawn, especially after I saw that it was gentle enough to use on the marine animals that get oil on them from oil spills. It works great but doesn’t strip my hands of moisture.

  25. Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says

    April 5, 2015 at 7:36 pm

    I always wash my counters with dish soap, but I didn’t know there were so many other uses for it, as well.

  26. My Journey With Candida says

    April 5, 2015 at 7:51 pm

    I use Dawn and have even used it for a few of the things you have listed. But, you taught me something new. I am going to try it in my slow bathroom drain and see what happens. Can’t hurt!

  27. The Trophy WifeStyle says

    April 5, 2015 at 8:26 pm

    I had a hair stylist years ago that use to ask me to wash my hair with dawn before coming in to get my hair colored. She claimed it was better than most clarifying shampoos at getting product buildup out!

  28. lisa @bitesforbabies says

    April 5, 2015 at 8:47 pm

    Works like a charm to get stains out…my mom told me try it and I use it all the time now!

  29. Theresa says

    April 5, 2015 at 10:02 pm

    I always have a bottle on hand in my laundry room! Jason is forever getting greasy good on his clothes and it works like a charm to get it out!

  30. Heather says

    April 5, 2015 at 10:52 pm

    I use it for lots of things. That dish soap has lots of purposes. Haven’t done the bubbles yet though.

  31. Aprill says

    April 5, 2015 at 11:45 pm

    These are some really cool tips. I dont know why it did not dawn on me that Dawn could be used to unclog a drain, but it makes perfect sense!

  32. Badet Siazon (@badudets) says

    April 5, 2015 at 11:47 pm

    I love it when products have multiple uses. Saves a lot of money. Thanks for these practical tips.

    Thank you for sharing wise tips rom your post, this is really great my wife would like it.

  34. ascendingbutterfly says

    April 6, 2015 at 5:09 am

    It’s funny when I was younger most of my friends families used Palmolive and we used Dawn, I still use Dawn these are some interesting uses for them! I have never tried it to bathe a pet before, will have to try that!

    Tracy @ Ascending Butterfly

  35. Chubskulit Rose says

    April 6, 2015 at 5:53 am

    These are all very interesting tips. I did not know that you can use it to de-fog mirrors. I will try your tips with pets and plants. Yep, Dawn is really god in unclogging toilets, we do that too.

  36. Michele D says

    April 6, 2015 at 6:45 am

    Wonderful tips! Some I didn’t even know existed until this post. Love the brand Dawn, use their dish washing soap all the time.

  37. becca112971 says

    April 6, 2015 at 7:22 am

    What cool tips. I didnt know about the clog drain or the hair residue. Must try both.

  38. Bonnie @ wemake7 says

    April 6, 2015 at 7:48 am

    What a awesome list! We use Dawn a lot but haven’t tried some of these yet. I think I’m going to try using it in my hair tonight.

  39. NutriFitMama says

    April 6, 2015 at 8:12 am

    Ok, I had no idea there were so many uses for Dawn dish soap! Thanks for the list!

  40. Emerald says

    April 6, 2015 at 8:28 am

    Dawn is what we used in my house growing up and I still use it today. My husband looks at me crazy when I use this soap to clean our bathroom..lol!!

  41. Saidah Washington (@ApronsStilletos) says

    April 6, 2015 at 9:12 am

    I’ve never thought to use it on my hair. I’d think it was too harsh, but to wash away residue sounds like it could make sense.

  42. savoryexperiments says

    April 6, 2015 at 10:12 am

    I use Dawn on my indoor lemon tree, Grover (yes, it has a name), it helps keep indoor mites off and cleanses away the dust. I also love the smell!

  43. Dawn says

    April 6, 2015 at 10:12 am

    This is so cool! I had no idea you could use Dawn for a cheap manicure. You, my dear, are just full of ideas. =D

  44. listen2mama says

    April 6, 2015 at 10:41 am

    Yup these are all great uses. I know people who use it for their manicures, because it’s so soft.

  45. Natalie Z says

    April 6, 2015 at 10:47 am

    Thanks for the suggestions especially the unclogging drains! My husbands shave stuff always builds up in ours.

    • thelesleyshow says

      April 6, 2015 at 3:00 pm

      I never knew this one, that’s very cool. I’ll have to use this next time the sink clogs.

  46. Jenna Wood says

    April 6, 2015 at 11:03 am

    My father has worn white work uniforms since I was a small child- he swears by Dawn to pre treat stains. As for me, I was always a fan of the mega bubbles trick.

  47. jessica m says

    April 6, 2015 at 11:09 am

    So many great uses for Dawn – its what we usually use in our house unless my husband goes shopping

  48. Liz Mays says

    April 6, 2015 at 11:29 am

    I never thought about dish soap for oil stains on clothes. I’m excited to try it!

    Those are amazing uses. I would have never thought to use it for my plants. Good to know

  56. Laura (Another Cent Saved) says

    April 6, 2015 at 12:59 pm

    Dawn is such a good product. I had forgotten some of these uses. I appreciate the reminder. Thanks for sharing 🙂

  57. yumeating says

    April 6, 2015 at 1:10 pm

    My mother used blue Dawn for everything when I was growing up. She couldn’t use a lot of the cleaners on the market so she made her own with Dawn , vinegar and sometimes baking soda. I use to too. Works pretty good.

  58. ruthzankic says

    April 6, 2015 at 1:54 pm

    I didn’t know about removing the tag. I do a lot of thrift store shopping and I hate the tags that they leave on.

  59. candyolivares says

    April 6, 2015 at 2:16 pm

    What a great list! I loathe taking the tag of something and it leaving the residue. I’ll use Dawn next time!

  60. Paula Schuck says

    April 6, 2015 at 2:33 pm

    I didn’t know about a lot of these but I’ll be trying them out for sure! Thanks for sharing!

    April 6, 2015 at 2:54 pm

    Awesome idea to bathe my greasy haired dog with Dawn! I never thought of that… so now I can use it to give him a bath and then to unclog the drain right after! Thanks.

  64. Travel Blogger says

    April 6, 2015 at 3:01 pm

  65. Our Piece of Earth says

    April 6, 2015 at 3:16 pm

    I love Dawn. My boyfriend buys cheap stuff and it definitely isn’t the same.

  66. Aimee Fauci says

    April 6, 2015 at 3:51 pm

    I clean my tile floors with it! I hear it is not as harsh as floor cleaner. Works great.

  67. Kathy says

    April 6, 2015 at 4:18 pm

    That’s so neat that you can use it for so many things. Making bubbles is one of our favorites. We usually use Dawn soap to make them as well!

  68. Jesica H says

    April 6, 2015 at 4:28 pm

    WOW! There were ton of ideas I never thought of! Making bubbles though is still our favorite over here!

  70. Carol Bryant says

    April 6, 2015 at 6:00 pm

    I have also heard it is good to repel ants but I don’t know where I heard that. The other things here sound fantastic – ty for the list.

  71. Marybeth Hamilton says

    April 6, 2015 at 6:18 pm

    My mom regularly uses dish soap for shampoo. When I’ve used it in the past Dawn has been the best clarifying shampoo for my hair! I also love using Dawn for homemade bubbles!

  72. tammi says

    April 6, 2015 at 6:24 pm

    Wow, blown away – most of those, I had no idea! Such a game changer!

  76. Kelly Hutchinson says

    April 6, 2015 at 7:07 pm

    I have used Dawn for bubbles but did not know you could use it for your plants or for removing those pesky price tags.

  77. Ask Coach Donna - Social Media and Blog Expert says

    April 6, 2015 at 7:09 pm

    Robin – great stuff – I know Dawn has been around forever – but never, ever thought of all these uses – thanks so much 🙂

  78. martinkadelux says

  79. Felissa @ Two Little Cavaliers says

    April 6, 2015 at 7:28 pm

    I had no idea that it could unclog drains! I am definitely going to have to try that next time.

  80. pamatiw says

    April 6, 2015 at 7:36 pm

    Dawn is a great product. I found a “recipe” a few months back which consists of Dawn,
    lemon juice and vinegar. It works really well on showers and on ovens.

  81. Cara (@StylishGeek) says

    April 6, 2015 at 8:11 pm

    Thank you for those awesome tips! I will definitely keep in mind your advice, particularly the one about keeping plant pests at bay! 🙂

  82. Mama to 5 BLessings says

    April 6, 2015 at 8:18 pm

    Every now and then I squirt some down my kitchen sink drain and turn the garage disposal on for a nice clean!

    April 6, 2015 at 9:20 pm

    You saved me today! My kids used up all of the bubbles from Easter and I was looking for a homemade version so I didn’t have to go to the store. Totally using dawn now!

  86. shaunatorres says

    April 6, 2015 at 10:04 pm

    How interesting. We use Dawn sometimes. It is usually whatever is on sale. Lol! I never knew that there were so many uses though.

  93. Swa-Rai (@swaraiblog) says

    April 6, 2015 at 10:15 pm

    I’ve always heard Dawn had multiple uses, never thought it had this many. Thanks for the info, i’m going to try a few of these.

  94. Ann BAcciaglia says

    April 6, 2015 at 10:29 pm

    What a fantastic list of tips! I had no idea that you could use Dawn to unclog a drain, Guess what I am doing tomorrow.

  95. Vera Sweeney says

    April 6, 2015 at 10:50 pm

  96. Nina Say says

    April 6, 2015 at 11:03 pm

    I knew there were a lot of uses, but not this many. This is pretty cool.

  97. Sarah Marturano says

    April 6, 2015 at 11:08 pm

    What?!? I had no clue about most of these! Window defogger? That’s awesome!

  98. Dawn says

    April 6, 2015 at 11:14 pm

    We use Dawn dish soap to clean our dogs! It is honestly a miracle cure for dogs with fleas. It worked amazingly!

  99. Stacey- Travel Blogger says

    April 6, 2015 at 11:15 pm

    I love Dawn. It didn’t realize it had so many amazing uses.

  100. Courtney says

    April 7, 2015 at 12:09 am

    I never would have thought of these. Did you know that Dawn also kills fleas? Or so I read.

  101. [email protected] says

    April 7, 2015 at 12:20 am

    I think I used Dawn when my dog got sprayed by a skunk. Good times.

  102. Aimee says

    April 7, 2015 at 12:24 am

    I would have never thought about using Dawn to unclog a drain and keep my mirrors from fogging! Thanks for sharing!

    Dawn dish soap is amazing stuff! My husband is allergic to poison ivy so anytime he goes camping he takes a bottle with hi to shower with and wash any plant oils off. Dawn is the best for this.

    Price tag residue is so hard to remove. I need Dawn in my life, I wish it’s available internationally.

    I love Dawn! I totally had a panic attack when I thought there were fleas on my pup and my friend told me to use Dawn. Luckily it was a false alarm.

    A soap that can be used in a lot of ways is a must have for me. Hopefully, I can get one of this at our local stores.

    I’ve used almost all these tips! I found that Dawn dish soap is the best way to remove stains from my kids clothing. It’s also good for removing some hair color if you make a bad color choice. 😉

    Mega bubbles sounds like a LOT of fun! I’ve been using Dawn for a lot of things forever now. It’s so easy!

    I have used it as bubbles, on my hair and nails, and on my plants. Haven’t tried the mirror defog – that sounds good.
    I also mix a couple of drops of Dawn soap into a shallow dish of apple cider vinegar, place it on my kitchen counter == great fruit fly trap!!! it’s amazing; they love it.
    it also will work outside in those wasp catchers too.

    I use the remove label residue idea quite a bit. Imagine when I am installing a project and there are a million labels to remove. Dish soaps works so well
