To prevent the suds when filling a spray bottle, first fill the bottle with water, then add the soap 💦
Sudd will form when the two ingredients are mixed, so it does not matter.
@@leighsutherland6222 ..yes it s does matter
I was making A pepper spray and without thinking I put the Soap first, It was A mess, have to throw it out and Start with the water first, and as soon as I spray the plant and like five minutes later i saw a dead insect, looks like a fly wasn't Sure
I was gonna say that ... beat me to the 👊
I feel really dumb thats so simple
Dawn and Vinegar 50/50 is great for a shower cleaner. Personal experience. Breaks down calcium better than anything I've seen.
Really?
Yes, I use this as a bathroom cleaner as well. Why pay out the nose for individual cleaners when this works like a charm!
Also good at clearing a clogged toilet. No need for a plunger.
I own a professional cleaning company, we use this mix for tub/showers, cleaning out greasy cupboards, etc. It’s better tolerated by people and better for us rather than being exposed to harsh chemicals everyday.
Also use vinegar and tea tree oil for glass and mirrors.
@@lostintime8651 How much do u use for a toilet?
Can Dawn be used on dirty politicians?
LOL..good one!
Yeah!!!!!
😅
If only
DAWN is also an excellent ant repellant. I've used it quite successfully in a house with animals I didn't want to expose to harsh chemicals or ant traps they might get into. Just applying the DAWN in areas they were getting in kept the ants away.
Do you think it rids of fleas outside?
@@dianawoods6991 , no idea and fles are more serious than ants. There are non toxic repellents you can use for those.
Dawn doesn't kill insects because it poisons them. Insects breathe through their skin. Dawn puts a film over the pores which seals them. The insects actually suffocate. That is why it is strong enough to kill spiders, too.
The reason bugs are so prevalent because people kill the helpful bugs such as wasp, spiders, lacewing, etc. Just one of the 3 bugs listed could kill thousands of other unwanted bugs. Either way soap is better than toxic poison. Although the company who makes Dawn is toxic poison.
Very good to know, thank you!
@@tropicalco2339 Thanks
Kenneth Campbell as long as it kills them..I really don't care how and why
Mark Floors Bugs have feelings too. I bet you swat flys also 😳
Between Dawn, Duct Tape and WD-40 guess you can solve a lot of issues...
Ok Mrs Macgiver lol but I like the way you think!
AMEN :)
and apple cider vinegar....
And then a coat hanger and a crescent wrench you pretty much got a full set of tools
Um... (Pause) .. Thats.. What .. She said? (Yup it still works here too, just creepy).
I tried your weed and bug killer recipes today and was thoroughly amazed. Squash bugs died in 30 seconds and thistle turned completely brown in 30 minutes. Amazing!!!! Thank you so much for sharing all the info that you do and for taking the time to do it.
Im gonna try it i love Dawn
But doesn't it contaminate the vegetables?
Dawn makes a great spot cleaner on clothes and even cleans up old stains...especially baby stains...God Bless America!
GREAT TO KNOW, THANKS
DivaChicTreasures , thanks for this. 👍
@@Truther567 You are most welcome!
Hillary 2020!
@Rock Hard good 2 know...thanks...I heard Lestoil (if still around) also cleans out oil...
It also works if your pets bring fleas into the home. At night set a small lamp in the floor and put a bowl of water mixed with dawn close to it. As they go to the light they go to a watery death. Depending on how bad they are depends on how many nights you need to do it.
My dog got sprayed by a skunk. I figured the spray is essentially an oil so Dawn seemed a viable choice. IT WORKED! I lathered him up with Dawn then rinsed and lathered him up again with his regular shampoo and he smelled great!
You had me at “kills black widow spiders”
In the ice pack if you add a little rubbing alcohol it won't freeze solid and makes a good ice pack for injuries also in your spray bottle for the bug spray if you put the water in the bottle first then add the Dawn soap it won't suds up so bad. Dawn dish soap has so many great uses. We always keep a big bottle on hand. Great for removing grease or oil from clothing too !
My day job I working in vending machines, and have about 20 coffee machines. These machines are a insect magnet cause you can not completely seal them and there is water...sugar and even coco lol. I use dawn to prevent bugs from infesting the machines and it has yet to fail. It has even out done very expensive expensive food grade repellents.
How do use it??
Plz elaborate
“Dirty cats”? I tried bathing a cat once. I almost bled out.
Get a 5 gallon bucket fill with soap /H20 , insert cat ,put on lid ,cat will mix for you. 30 seconds or so open lid ,cat is clean.... OR.. there is the toilet method..same thing leave lid ( might need weight on lid)down,flush again at end for complete rinse.

That's why I haven't :)
Allow this ol' Wyoming country boy to give you one of the best tick removal tips ever: Upon discovery of the embedded tick, place a single drop of Dawn on the tick, and watch Mother Nature take her course! The tick will withdraw his head from the skin and attempt to skedaddle, at which point you'll have a pair of tweezers with which to take him into custody. What you do with him after that is your business.
During tick season, I always keep a small pill bottle filled with rubbing alcohol, to drop ticks into...
I burn all the ticks I find
David Berry light a match and touch the tick with the lit match.

If you mix dawn with water and pour it into soil. It can cause worms to come up from the ground. and now you have fish bait in a SHTF
is there a proportion or just a general mix?
Lmao
We used to add the blue dawn to water tanks to put out brush and forest fires. It breaks up the surface tension of the dirt and allows the water to penetrate deeper into the soil
@@rickstanfield yah... that ground is so hard to keep lit... lol
Quit polluting the ground.
If you have any bugs in your kitchen or bathroom keep your sink clean ( no dirty dishes ) & put out 2 small containers filled with water & a few drops of blue dawn in 2-3 days the bugs will come to drink or come in contact with with the dawn water & die. No more bugs.
I have left finished can\ bottle out. lol That Last bit of spit. Down they go > Trapped. =p
Scary - One day left 'empty' Twisted Tea' outside, Next day 4 or 5 Roaches in bottle. LOL Works Great! UGH.
Not to mention Dawn is kind to your hands when washing dishes. And for every bottle sold one is donated to save animals covered with oil!😇😇
Dawn is also helpful in I clogged drains and toilets. Use it with vinegar and baking sidea!
I heard that Dawn works great on dirty dishes as well!
LOL Who woulda thunk?
Smartypants
LOL
I knew he forgot something.....lol
MarinePilot572 🤩
I use it just the same, it makes a great surfactant for many things. Another great tip is 1/3 water, 1/3 ammonia, and 1/3 Dawn for heavy duty dish washing. Great video!!!
I started making alot of my own household products, it's quite amazing how many of them use the same ingredients with different amounts. Dawn is a number one ingredient in alot of my cleaning products. I find any other dish soaps just don't compare. I end up using double or more and so it is actually cheaper. Thanks for all your awesome tips.
Dang, I never knew a diluted dawn would be stronger than a Black Widow. Thanks for sharing.
Soap coats the bug and suffocates it
Been using a few drops of straight Dawn to wash my hair for over two years now. Sixty one years old with thick hair and no bald spots yet! 🙂
Yes, Dawn is ulti-purpose. For cold water clean the "Resolve" brand has enzymes that eat away at some stains that the Dawn/H2O2 won't.
I had a cat that jumped a fence and ended up in plastic container full of used car oil. Lucky for him his head stayed out of it. I put him in the bathtub, washed him twice with Dawn and he came out perfectly clean.
My Cocker/Pug dog got out of our yard and into the neighbors back yard. Got into motor oil and gas mixture. Put her into the tub with warm water and Dawn. Done deal, motor oil gone and smell of Gas GONE. Used when they were puppies (all 6) to control fleas. Washed each of them twice a week with warm water and Dawn. Worked well.
you forgot to mention that its also good to wash yourself with after getting sprayed with mace.
Sounds like you may have bigger issues than just bugs........
@G H because cops are a bunch of pussy bitches
@@yellowbird5411 LOL

I recently got dragged out of my own vehicle by an officer that didn't even ask me for my license or registration first or even telling me what was the initial traffic stop for now fast forwarding in time..im now going to court against this cop and he's playing the victim so much the trial hasn't even started...and its been 4 months already
in my opinion, he has the best survival channel on youtube
Dawn makes an ok bug spray but Wisk or Tide laundry detergent is better. I've been using this for about 25 years, and the way I make it up is I use a hand sprayer like you have there, preferably one that makes a solid stream, and I'll mix it as concentrated as possible, just so it shoots easily from the sprayer. This mix knocks wasps right out of the air, and if you shoot it into a nest it destroyes the nest. I just tried this one summer day back in 1995 when I had a problem with wasps and I was out of wasp spray. I've tried dish soap but I've found laundry detergent much more effective.
I recently saw a large jug of Dawn with a pump dispenser at Home Depot for an amazing price, I believe it was a gallon for less than $10.00. I consider that a bargain for such a multi-use product.
I have always felt that dawn was the best detergent ever. I believe in the stuff!! My wife says others work just as well but I disagree 100%. Dawn is the best...especially now that I have learned how to make weed killer with it. You just taught me how to avoid buying so much roundup! Thanks Sootch!!
How ya been NC?
And Roundup ain't cheap!
hancock brewer Man I was jobless for a few months but about a month ago I got an offer to go to work and for the last month I been working 6 days a week 12 hours a day and its killing me...lol!! Things have been much better since I started back working. I need to get back to making some vids. Hopefully this weekend I will get Saturday off so I can do one. I have some stuff planned!! You been ok my friend?
Doing good buddy. Glad to hear from ya.
Roundup...from the company that gives us all GMOs for free!
I've always seen that dawn was used to clean animals during oil spills since I was a kid. If it safe for them it safe for us! Great video.
You sound like the Windex guy from my big fat Greek wedding. "just out some Dawn on it"
I applied it to my poison ivy soo we shall see
@ ALOEVERA
When I have greasy/oily hands from working on my truck I put a little in my hands and rub my hands together in a “dry wash”. By this I mean only enough to take a majority of the dirt and grime off since I have well and septic. I don’t want any grease or oil residue going into my septic system. I use a paper towel to wipe off the residue from my hand then I wash them. This keeps my septic from getting contaminants in it and killing the beneficial bacteria.
When I worked in a little family owned Mexican restaurant I learned about keeping a little spray bottle of Dawn & water to use as a laundry pre-treatment. I would pre-treat my shirt and just toss it in the hamper. Every laundry day my shirts looked like new again. It works wonders!
I use Dawn a lot.
I mix tsp Dawn, 10 drops of spearmint essential oil, 10 drops of pepermint oil, 10 drop lavender oil.. Mix wirh 4 cups water. Spray around outside doors..windows. And inside heater vents. Spray in garage around walls. Spiders hate it...bugs hate it. If you have them coming in a particular area, add some to cotton balls..leave in those spots. Spray at least once a week during bug season.
Get rid of spiders. Great for RV campers too.
Have fleas on pet? Put dog in tub. As you are adding water, immediately
Take Dawn lather up in dawn in your hand with some water. Put all the way around dogs neck. On outside of dogs ears and outside of dogs butt.
Add some squirts to water. As you pour water from bath over dog, fleas run for cover to hide in dogs cavities.. Ears, eyes, nose, butt. They stay there till bath is over and then jump back out after bath is done. Using this method, fleas run right into dawn barrier you created around these areas..and die!!!!! I have watched this and it is crazy!!! A groomer told me about this.
Last..
Clean pet urin on floors.. I use Dawn, Vinager and water.
I also use it in my shower..sparklung clean.
@cutnuphairsalon

When I was in college I figured out it works well for laundry too. Just a little will do you. A little directly on stains works too. Maybe not as well as some stain removers but it works pretty well. It works particularly well on grease/oil stains.
It is a good, all around cleaner but really, any dish washing liquid works.
lol Just use very sparingly in a dishwasher. When I was a teen I filled the cup in the dishwasher and it really did create bubbles that covered the entire floor of the kitchen, just like on some old comedies. No exaggerating, there was a foot plus of bubbles covering the kitchen floor and the vent was blowing some up into the air. In my defense, it does say "dish washing liquid" on the bottle.
As a bonus, mom never asked me to wash the dishes again. :)

shananagans5 put some downy in a spray bottle anytime anywhere you have more bubbles than you know what to do with a quick spray they're gone.. Wouldn't in my dishwasher but floor, even in recovery tanks when shampooing your carpet....
Been thinking about”prepping” for a while now but we live in our 42ft RV with minimal storage space. These “sensible” tips are perfect! Thanks! We are fortunate to live in a great RV Park that allows us to have some container gardens! For everyone with pets, Regular dawn dish soap kills fleas almost immediately, repeat in 7 days and your flea problems will be reduced immediately!
I remember the huge EXXON oil spill... I saw the wild life smothering in OIL ... then I saw the fowl.. and otters etc.. being literally BATHED in Dawn.... if it can make that kind of oil stand down... your household stuff don't stand a CHANCE!!!
Regina Moore I remember the day when agencies were into “Save the Planet and all life”. Now secet global government agendas are “let’s kill every living thing”.
@@SuperDeut4 they have till 2030 and about every country signed this agenda 21 pact to kill off 9 tenths of all humans and leave around 500 million to 700 million.i dont know why the ones worth saving couldnt b taken to other planets?when we die we'll know but i wanna know now, is that selfish??
@rj zander how much do you use? Dilution? Safe for cement? Clothes? How much time do you leave it on before rinsing? Any videos on it? Tia
I wash my dogs with it. It kills fleas.
@@robertdinicola9225 thx, that's the info I was looking for. They're in my couch
I clean my whole home with a mixture of dawn and apple cider vinegar. Love it!
try white vinegar, it works better than apple cider vinegar
@@royhoco5748 White vinegar is for cleaning, not apple cider!
@@karenpierce6424read my post again. - white is the commonly mentioned vinegar for cleaning but either one works very well, it is the acetic acid in vinegar that does the cleaning and disinfecting.
Also, apple cider vinegar is known to kill ecoli, etc....
Window cleaners use a tsp of dawn and some white vinegar in a 5-gal bucket of warm water - does not leave a haze like Windex does.
Thank you for sharing. Dawn is the only detergent I use.You taught me a few new ones. I for sure will be using the bug one!! We have lots of black/ brown widows here in Georgia. My grandma would pour out her dish water on to her hydrangeas. They were so beautiful and healthy.
In this vein, laundry soap makes an excellent bug remover for your windshield. Dilute couple of tablespoons of liquid laundry soap into a spray bottle of water. Spray this mixture on your windshield before you put on fuel. Once you’re finished fueling, use the squeegee to clean your glass. Even stubborn, dried on bug will come right off.
Dawn is awesome help. It is very concentrated/strong. If using on pets best to use very small amount, as it will severely dry out their skin (which causes itching) - and strips their fur of natural oils, making it dull.
I agree 100 % !!! Make sure to use the Dawn Clear + Gentle for pets.
I'm always up for good tips and survival information. I'm not criticising. I'm merely pointing out that the weed you sprayed at the end of the concrete was purslane. A survival food plant. Well documented everywhere. I understand the demonstration. Just adding information.
Add 100% mint extract to it and it will kill bugs faster.
Ok, but which is cheaper, a 32oz bottle of dawn (which you dilute to use) or 32 ounces of mint extract (which I don't know if you can dilute to have the same effect)?
@@markfloors6988 I'm not saying add 32 oz of mint. You just need a few drops. Do your research on it!
@@jackaSs60471 a few drops into how much water? Now I like the smell of mint, but as with anything..you have to calculate the cost

Just give the bug a Tic Tac, Save the Dawn
Thank you for this video! I would like to add that if you work outside, I'm sure you know all about poison ivy, oak and sumac. I have learned that through avoidance, identification and wearing protective clothing are the best methods of not getting Dawn on your skin. Unfortunately, you come across situations where you just can't avoid it. Whether it be you are camping, playing with your pet or just happen to accidentally come across it, Dawn works wonders. All of the plants I mentioned have one thing in common and that is they all contain Urushiol Oil. Urushiol oil is what gets onto your skin that cause the rash. If you think that you hav come in contact with any plant that contains urushiol oil, make sure to take a warm shower and use plenty of Dawn to remove/strip the oil from your skin. Wash, rinse and repeat so that you get qll off of the oil off of your skin. Make sure to concentrate on washing the areas around your ankles, hands and forearms. I'm in my early 40's and I'm extremely allergic to poison ivy and the like. Knock on wood, by showering with Dawn, I haven't had an outbreak in over 15 years. Take care folks and I hope this helps you out! Peace
@Big Dummy
They say the Urushiol oil is as hard to get off as grease.
@@blainwilson7937 That could very well be the case. I just base what I suggested on my on personal experience. From what I understand, it is best to shower with Dawn within a few hours after exposure if possible. I do know that it is used on animals that have been exposed to oil from oil spills, so I think it would work on humans just as well. I have worked on cars and you are right about grease being hard to remove! Take care George and thank you for the reply. Peace
I've been using Dawn for years, to Break up the water retention in potting soils and regular old Top Soils. Most of the potting soils you buy, either have spagnum peat moss, Cocoa Coir or some type of pine bark mulch. A drop of Dawn in your watering can will break the surface tension allowing the water to penetrate the soil much quicker and evenly. Instead of running off or partially soaking your soil. Which can lead to unhealthy root system.
I'm definitely going to try the other uses of this amazing multi application detergent. Thanks for the tips!
Now I know why when I water its running out of the garden bed ,I just put down some top soil and was wondering what going on, thanks
To exfoliate and soften your hands, take a small amount of dawn and mix with an equal amount of sugar. Rub on your hands really good and rinse with warm water. Follow with your favorite lotion.
The only time I use dawn on cars is b4 I give it a fresh coat of mother's wax looks way better
I use it for foaming hand soap. First go to Dollar tree get foaming hand wash use it up, don't waste it. Now that bottle is empty fill with water and put a few drops of dawn in. Put lid on and gentle mix. Boom, foaming hand wash. My son's favorite scent is green apple, dawn.

Good video buddy!!~~John
Early jet pilots (before defoggers) used to smear this on the inside of their windscreens for the same purpose as with the sunglasses ;) I truly enjoy your videos. You always give great tips. I am an avid Dawn user, and shall try some of these :)
The trick I was taught with Dawn is as a grease spot remover on clothing. On really strong stains I may have to wash a second time but has never let me down.
Its great for washing off poison oak. When I was a park ranger, we would use it to wash ourselves with, wash tools and other gear. It works
You should list your recipes for these things in the info list. it would help. I had to watch it 4 times to get them all written down lol
Can you write down plz!
Practice is good!!
🤗 since you wrote it allllllll down 🤗 can you..share!😁😄😄😄
I do agree that Dawn is better than any other dish soap for removing grease from your dishes or clothes. It's also more expensive but it certainly works.
Get it from Dollar Tree...it's only a dollar...not sure if they have the blue one but their "Awesome" spray works wonders too
I use the Dawn/vinegar solution for everyday cleaning. It even kills huge flies and the occasional large stray wasps that come in. Give a few good blasts and it’s down.
I have used Dawn for most of those things! I will always have dawn, but I use castile soap now for everything cleaning, but Dawn is WAY cheaper. Dawn is an amzing all purpose cleaner. I love it!
Glad you got that black widow spider! We get them in the garage and around the wood pile. Thanks for the video.
Wow! My eyes about popped out when I saw that weed killer! Did it really work that quickly? This will be much safer for my dogs than the chemical stuff!Thanks Sootch!!!!
It only dries up what is exposed. The roots are alive as usual and the grass and weeds will be back in a short amount of time. You have got to stay after them and it soon becomes work but it will knock back the tops, but for short term only. You will tire of it quickly most likely.
Dang! I thought he was onto something. Guess I'll stick with my Roundup. But wait, doesn't the salt get into the soil and make it toxic to plant growth? I'm confused.
joe z Salt does exactly that to the soil at some point. I'll stick with my "glyphosate" forever, it is magical in many ways. I won't use the Round-Up brand, too expensive. I bought a gallon of the very concentrated stuff at Attwood's for 19.99. Home Depot sells the same brand for only about 23 dollars a gallon. It makes dozens of gallons at about 800% cheaper the R-Up.
So what is a safe product to use to kill say bushes that just won't die
@@sherylsmiles141 road grader lol
FYI I would be cautious with using Dawn on your dog, you can strip the natural oils out of his coat and over dry their skin causing them to scratch excessively.
Tarheel MP just put a spoonful of bacon grease in their food about once a week and it will keep their skin from drying. And dogs love the taste of bacon.
And he did say it's just for fleas so I'm sure nobody is using regularly...but thx for the tip
Do a video over "HYDROGEN PEROXIDE" (Thumbs up so he can see!)
TheSincererAlmond , I just saw this video in 2019 but thought I’d pass along that my husband’s doctor uses hydrogen peroxide as one of the natural things for my hubbys Stage IV cancer. You have to know what you’re doing, obviously. His doctor is an integrative, all-natural doctor.
@@Truther567 wat state is this dr. in? Not one in S.C. THANKS
@@Truther567 please tell us the name. Then you can delete your answer in a few minutes to protect him. How is your husband doing now? Did it work?
Humpty Dumpty Love God Bless! I heard that hydrogen peroxide works for cancer. I’m a breast cancer survivor. Praying for you! 🙏🏼
If you ever need to induce vomiting in your dog, hydrogen peroxide is your answer. Don't over do it. It doesn't take much. Suggest doing it in the tub. Don't get it in the dog's eyes or nose. They will be nervous so be calm and kind yourself. And that will help pooch stay calm. It is the foaming that brings whatever back up out of doggie's system where it doesn't belong. Once it is out poochie should be back to normal quickly. Make sure to cuddle, love and praise so they know they are not being punished. Don't cry, speak loudly or yell. Be loving. The way you want doctors and nurses to be with you when you are the patient. Talk to your veterinarian before using this procedure. It may not be the proper course of action for your dog. But my vet suggested it for mine and it worked great. The two otc remedies I always take with me wherever my pups go is hydrogen peroxide (cleaning wounds and vomiting) and benadryl (calming and supressing allergic reactions to bug stings). I even had a vet tell me to immediately dose with benedryl once after a snake bite because they were concerned I was so far from the doggie ER. And although I was rushing dog to them, they were concerned I was too far away and might need the extra few minutes the benadryl might buy. Doggie was fine and lived a long healthy life afterwards. But if snake bites, get in the car and drive straightaway to the vet. Call the vet while you're already on your way. Snake venom works very quickly and you have no time to spare. Don't bother getting dressed nice or combing your hair. If snake bites your dog leave immediately!
Dude! You have got the neatest freezer I've ever seen!

No disrespect to anyone, honestly, just felt like a tangential dig that day, but I might have just been hypersensitive that day.. 🤷♀️
I use the vinegar mix to clean my kitchen floors. When I wash my dishes i use gloves otherwise destroys my fingernails and manicure. To kill flies and mosquitoes I use the least expensive hairspray. works like a charm. Thank you for your useful post.
Dish soap strips the natural oils from your pets coat and from your hair as well. Dish soap is pretty harsh on skin, hair and fur because it is intended to remove dish grease.
Wait they use dawn to clean animals up after an oil spills now as a constant sources of cleaning your animals I would agree with you. Oils in their coats and skin will come back.
Once every 2-3 weeks
lemon joy is my shampoo of choice in the summer!
@Robert L Fallin. Why?
DAWN AND BABY OIL WORK GREAT TOGETHER IN A BATH, WITH BAKING SODA, TRUST ME TRY IT.
Just wanna let you know I use a few drops of peppermint oil in the water and Dawn mixture that you mentioned as an insect killer and it works amazing. There’s something about the peppermint oil it’s almost instant I’ve used it on ants and other bugs around the house and outdoors the good news is it doesn’t do anything to plants
No critter or insect like the peppermint scent
The weed killer tip is great. I have weeds all through my gravel driveway and really did not want to use glyphosate.
I've used vinegar for weeds. To keep stink bugs out, I use catnip spray. Works, non toxic
omg stink bugs are the worst!!!!
thanks for YOUR tip👍😊
@@bindybu you're welcome! It works but it does wear off over time but easy to reapply. Since I have cats (or at least one owns me! Lol! ) we do non-toxic stuff. I also have allergies from Hel as does my mum. My one great-grandfather died over a decade before I was born due to an asthma induced heart attack.
One slight correction. Black widow spider is a “her” not him. Lol.
I’ve been using Dawn for years to fight fleas.
Recently here at the farm we had an outbreak of sand fleas. 14 of my barn cats died. My neighbor down the road lost five goats and two cows to fleas. All this in one week.
I mixed up Dawn and water in my 3 gallon sprayer and sprayed the entire barn twice a day to start. Now it’s once a week until freezing season. Kittens all got a flea bath with Dawn. Adult cats got flea powder, mainly because I like the skin on my hands.
No more deaths.
Watch your pets gums. If they look to be turning white you have a problem. Should be pink. All white and you have a dead pet walking.
One of my cats needed a blood transfusion. That cost $800 plus three days stay at the vets. I’ve had him 14 years and was the alpha cat in the barn.
Because if the sudden outbreak of the fleas I haven’t been letting the barn cats out in the barnyard. I have so many cats because I rescue unwanted cats and find homes for most but the ones with lifelong medical needs or special needs have a home here.
A mixture of Dawn and hydrogen peroxide makes great stain remover for fabrics.
Yup, I do a 4:1 ratio - a great pre-wash too.
Can someone plz give me ratio
Mix it 1-1 Hydrogen peroxide and dawn for spot remover in laundry room
oxiclean is a stronger version
Thank you Todd , good to know.
@@mayrarosario4002 Depending on the stain you may wish to add more Dawn
Sootch you can also rub Dawn on mosquito bites helps stop the itch.

Forget the dawn, I want your ice cream drawer! LOL, cool video
Thank You!!! I had just tried the AWESOME Original Dawn dish soap bee killer at about 2 tablespoon to about 1 gallon of water mix applied to an in ground hornets nest - they looked like the LARGER nasty yellow jacket type hornets not the tiny ones...anyway, made up lots of suds and went right into and over the bee hive access during the day light hours with just a quick direct steady pour over...checked on them and after several days of patience for the rest of stragglers to return...all gone :)
It should be mentioned that the reason Dawn is used safely for animals, is that it completely breaks down, so it doesn't leave harmful residues.
My dad just told me he spent $60 on weed killer. Thank you so much for the info. plus I'm on my way to making this for my yard too!
Thanks for these tips. I needed the bug killer and weed killer. God bless you.
Your bug spray is great for finding tire punctures. Dawn works great in stagnant water to kill mosquito larvae, I use it in a drainage ditch near my house.
Great video. I just bought Dawn for my husband's work pants and shirts. Wow! I think I'm gonna get a bigger bottle next time. Thanks for the tips.
*Dawn is P&G, Proctor and Gamble; the biggest animal testing and torturing/killing company in North America. Yes, that includes cats and dogs*
Agreed I actually got a letter back from the president after writing them for years
Best Dawn comercial i have ever watched , you sold me
When mixing the bug spray, add the water first and then the dawn. Keeps it from foaming up on ya!
Also works great on clearing toilets from large BM's. Hot water and Dawn gets the toilet moving again!
I have used dawn on box elder bugs surrounding my home. The science is that bugs have a waxy surface on their exo skeleton. The dawn removes the coating, causing breaks in the exo skeleton.
Instead of Dawn to wash the dog use Murphy's Oil Soap. Has essential oils for a beautiful coat. I use Dawn to cut wax buildup and sealer on tiles. Wonderful product.
How do you kill the fleas in the house?
@@cathymdinkc get a cup and spoon, put the cup side ways along the floor tap the floor with the spoon in front off the open end of cup the fleas will jump into the cup to avoid the spoon youll have a cup of fleas in no time
I think he only uses it occasionally to get rid of fleas..but thx for the tip
Before I spray any weeds, I always check for edibles first. Thanks for sharing.
🤣
🙀
Best to transfer the Dawn to glass mason jars or some such. Twice I've bought the giant size Dawn at Sam's and over time it eats at the seams of the plastic bottle. Cleaning up 1/2 a gallon of leaked Dawn is not fun.
Cleanest floors in the state
I just used 12 gallons of Dawn to try & kill ticks in a yard. Suddenly this spring couldn’t go outside with out having ticks crawl up my legs. Pets also we’re bringing them inside! Praying this works. I’ll let you know.
I had something spill over in my oven, and burn I didn't have any scrub pads. I used some dish soap and let it sit then used a damp cloth, and it cleaned up very well.
Awesome video, omg, I'm going out to get Dawn now! These flies are driving me crazy. Spent too much at Tractor Supply on fly killer:(
I have used Dawn to shampoo my hair for years. It always takes the oiliness out.
If you can do it without it getting onto your scalp or any other part of your skin cool but otherwise it takes too much of the oils out of your skin which will make premature wrinkles on your hands face and neck
I use it once a month to get ALL the assorted products out. It works great, though it's too much for my hair to use it regularly.
Dawn kills fleas on your pets during bath...love it..
saundra goehner be careful about using for pets. Can kill a cat if allergic
Saundra Goehner, make sure to rinse the cat thoroughly. It sticks to dishes it cld stick to the cats hair. Smell the cat to make sure its all gone otherwise the cat will be ingesting it when licking their fur.
They use to have a purple dawn dish wash it would kill fleas off from a dog easy But haven't been able to find that dawn for a couple years cant remember the name of that dawn. Tried the blue dawn that is shown here it may kill a few fleas but not all and that is for sure.
I remember one summer our back yard was infested with ticks, we used buckets of water with Dawn and just poured out the mixture onto the yard and the ticks were gone, it took about a week, but it worked.
Dawn is also used for fighting fogging in diving goggles. Just be really sure to wipe it carefully. You don't want that running into your eye.
Dawn is specifically used in auto detailing to remove wax from vehicles, that's what it does, so I would not recommend it for washing your car. It can also encapsulate poison ivy and poison oak oils and prevents the oils from spreading.
Great for cleaning auto parts !! The engine everything!
I use diluted dawn as a degreaser to clean the engines on my tractors, lawnmowers, dirty tools etc. I mix a tbsp to a quart of hot water, stronger if needed.
How long should i soak my engine for in dawn?
🤣
You forgot that you can use dawn to unclog a stopped tolite.
It depends, there's no GUARANTEE.
Any dishwashing liquid can work on clogs.
Clogs???
@@patriciajohnson-platt4779 yes, clogs.
Just last week I used the Dawn antibacterial version on poison ivy. It worked fantastic. I just left it on there, it was sticky at first and I used latex gloves of course but it dried up in a couple of days. I used more Dawn, mixed with sugar and water to exfoliate the area (my chest)
I read "STFU" and clicked. I'm glad I did. Thank you very much for the grass killer solution mixer. I will try it on my backyard's payment area's near my spa.
I did too😂
