I hate doing dishes. There, I said it. I know that nobody likes doing dishes but I really hate it. My hate seems to be proportionate to the amount of yuck on said dishes.
Wiping off a few plates – mild hate.
Scrubbing burnt on food and greasy messes – hate that burns with the heat of a thousand suns.
I am usually tempted to leave the mess soaking in the sink overnight. It does soften up baked on food but then I am left to face a mess in the sink (now soaking in dirty cold water – ewww!) first thing in the morning. The only thing I hate worse than a sink full of gross dishes is a sink full of gross dishes first thing in the morning before I’ve had my coffee!
Luckily, Dawn has come up with a solution to my problem: new Dawn Power Clean with micro-scrubbing enzymes. This new formulation of an old favorite allows you to get the benefits of an overnight soak in a mere 5 minutes. That means I can put my mess in the sink to soak while I get things ready for the next morning (alleviating even more stress by making my morning run that much more smoothly) and by the time the lunches are packed, the dishes are ready to be tackled.
I was thrilled to be able to put Dawn Power Clean to a five minute test of my own. I created a mess cooked dinner and then set the pots and pans to soak for 5 minutes in Dawn Power Clean.
Sure enough, the baked on mess in my pressure cooker came off as easily as if I had soaked it over night. The other dishes that had soaked with the greasy mess rinsed clear and squeaky clean. Color me impressed!
I encourage you to take your own 5 minute challenge and let me know what you think. Try it on your worst mess – baked lasagna with extra cheese, meatloaf, or whatever you dread cleaning up after! I can’t wait to hear about your experience.

I’ve tried alternatives to Dawn but always come back to it since it’s so efficient at cutting grease and making dishes clean.
