If you’ve ever wondered if you could refill the Dawn Powerwash yourself, YOU CAN!
Today, I’m sharing a super easy recipe that works. You’ll need three ingredients, but the main ingredient that makes this DIY work so well is the rubbing alcohol.
So here’s everything you’ll need.
INGREDIENTS:
- 13 oz distilled water
- 4 tbsp Dawn Original Dish Soap
- 2 tbsp rubbing alcohol
TOOLS:
- Measuring cup / mason jar
- Funnel
STEPS:
- Fill your measuring cup or mason jar with 13 0z of distilled water
- Add your Dawn dish soap and alcohol
- Stir ingredients together and let it sit for a while. About 3-4 hours to give the alcohol and water enough time to blend well.
- Pour your mixture into your empty Powerwash Refill bottle.
It WORKS! This recipe makes refills a 16oz bottle, but if you want to make more, you can just double the ingredients.
I hope you enjoy this hack as much as I do! Especially since a bottle of Dawn Powerwash Refill is almost $5 every time, you’ll be making your own for MUCH less than that!

Does it have to be dawn Original?
I’m sure you could try using a different brand. I just only buy Dawn original because it’s all I ever use.
We use this for camping. Saving this recipe for refilling.
Awesome!!!
I use scented Dawn and it works great
That’s good to know! I’ll have to give it a try myself!
Best stain remover I’ve ever had.
Could you use 99% alcohol? I’m not sure what the difference is.
Yes! That’s perfectly fine.
Does it have to be distilled water?
Distilled water is best because it is more pure which makes it great for DIY natural cleaning solutions.

Hi Ann! I’m sure you can use it to spot clean recent spills or stains, but I’ve never it for that.
