An Awesome Alternative Use for Dawn Soap

I haven’t been this excited about a new household trick in long time. Did you know you can use Dawn dish soap to pre-treat a stain? On my way downstairs to the laundry, I pass right by our kitchen sink and Dawn dish soap every day. I head down to use overpriced stain removers on my kids clothes. My kids clothes are a mess every day after playing outside, eating every meal, etc. Now I just pre-treat the stains with a little Dawn, and I have far better results than I used to. It’s this easy:

How To Pre-Treat A Stain Using Dawn:

1. Apply Dawn directly to any cotton/polycotton fabric, covering the entire stained area

2. Rub it in using your fingers.

3. Wash it normally with Tide in your washing machine (Do not reapply Dawn to the same spot and wash again.)

I took some pictures on a particularly messy day in our house. One shirt was trashed by the Strawberry Monster and the other attacked by the Chocolate Monster (i’ll let you guess who was who). I treated both the strawberry and the chocolate stains with nothing by Dawn dish soap, put them in the wash with our regular Tide and they came out like new! I love our new way to use Dawn beyond the sink.
