Default 2 Must Haves - Thrifty Info Inside

After reading a thread on autopia about some Dawn power dissolver, I decided to give it a try. I picked up the product from Wal-Mart so I'm sure if you find this review helpful then you should be able to get your hands on this.



After getting the sink water warm I spritzed about 4-5 pads and let them sit in one side of the sink while I washed one at a time. The intructions are for grease on cooking utensils, so I just followed what I read on autopia's site. Spray, let sit, massage under running water (also used the edge pad cleaner *perfect for stubborn stains and ergo friendly ) and air dry. Now don't get me wrong I've done this before with APC, soap, etc..... This my friends is the $hit when it comes to getting something done QUICK!

PADS











NOTE - I wore nitrile gloves to keep me away from the cleaner + the heat from the water....

After 25 second soak and 20-30 second agitation.









I give this product a huge due to it's ease of use and cleaning ability. Thumbs down to you get what you pay it comes in a small bottle, so prepare like me and buy 2 at a time.

If you want to spend $125 for a pad washer thats completly up to you (it probably cleans better), but I think I've found something to fill the gap. Pads are still wet so however you look at, pics my be deceiving... They are clean and make the kitchen smell good too!

EXCELLENT review!!! I must pick some up next time I'm at Wally World.

Question: is this product safe for pads? Or will they deteriorate over time?

I <3 Dawn PD. it's the only product I found that really clean collinite wax out of my foam applicators. The only negative thing about it is it's hard to rinse. Seams like there's always soap left....but overall this is a must!

From most reviews I've read... It's been in use for a while now and no complaints about deterioration.

I'm sure you'll be happy about that purchase. I'm happy about getting the UPW. It saves so much time!

Thanks for the review now I know where to pick it up. I hadn't been able to find it in any of the local grocery stores. Only downside is that I have to go to Wal-mart or order it online.

I picked up 4 bottles at a Meyers store. I wet the pad, applied the P.D. and rinsed using the pad washer 2000. Very fast, very effective.
