How to Make Your Own Dawn Powerwash Refill (and SAVE Money!)

Posted In: Homemaking

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:

  1. Fill your measuring cup or mason jar with 13 0z of distilled water
  2. Add your Dawn dish soap and alcohol
  3. 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.
  4. 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!

      I’m sure you could try using a different brand. I just only buy Dawn original because it’s all I ever use.

    Could you use 99% alcohol? I’m not sure what the difference is.

      Distilled water is best because it is more pure which makes it great for DIY natural cleaning solutions.

I had the house to myself for a couple hours so I I had the house to myself for a couple hours so I started dinner, ate alone, and got some cleaning done. Ryheem hates the taste of store-bought sloppy joe sauce so I started making my own. And let me tell you, homemade sloppy joes is way better 😋 

All you need is 1 cup ketchup, 1 cup barbecue sauce, 1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce, and (this is optional) 1/4 cup brown sugar. Try it and let me know what you think!!
