Homemade Dawn Direct Foam

Tweet
This is so simple, its stupid!!  If you like Dawn Direct Foam, but hate buying the refills because of the price, then you will LOVE this!! I do, because it lasts forever!  And it saves you tons of $$

Don't Buy This...Make Your Own! :)

fyi: Did you know that Dawn Direct Foam is mostly made up of water!? Yep, it is...

Okay are you ready for this? Easy, Peasy!


UPDATED  Recipe 3/31/12
I found I was using more squirts of foam than before, so when I filled the bottle again, I did use more dawn this time, but its still cheaper and goes a lot further than the refills you buy at the store... I could make probably 10 or more refills with one bottle of dawn.

Here is what you need:

1. Your empty Dawn Direct Foam Dispenser

2. 1/4 -1/3 Cup of Dawn Ultra Concentrated Soap 

3. Water
That's it....really, it is :)

Fill the bottle with water just below the "Fill" line, add the 4 tablespoons of Dawn, add more water to the fill line, and gently swirl the mixture around till it mixed up. Pump away...

*You may use a different Dish Soap, but I prefer Dawn...after all if it gets the greasy oil off the wildlife in oil spills, it should do a great job on dishes and anything else you use it on, right?  ;)

Spot & Stain Remover!

Tweet

All I can say is WOW! This stuff works ! I have tried a lot of stain sticks and it seems that nothing ever gets the stains  ALL the way out, especially blood! 
I tried this yesterday on a stain that I thought would not come out, because this particular one, Never comes out! But I was shocked, amazed, you could see it just bubbling away... I can't wait to try this on other stains.
I have a pair of jeans  that I have a stain on and I have used all sorts of things to get this out, I'm going to try this, I mean what the heck, whats the worst that can happen? The stain could come out right? Hopefully!! 

You will need:
1 part Dawn Dish Detergent
2 parts Peroxide

I would just mix up enough for your stain, as the peroxide should be fresh when you use it, it would lose its bubbling power the longer it sits...

If you need some more scrubbing power, you could add some Baking Soda

Homemade Tub, Sink & Shower Cleaner

Tweet
*Revision 6-5-2012 posted below

I tried this Tub Sink & Shower Cleaner and it works great! Granted my glass shower doors weren't terrible, but they did have a little soap scum build up on them. I'm real bad about waiting for stuff to work, so I had to do it twice because I didn't let it sit long enough to do its job the first time!  You can leave this on over night, if its a bad case of build up.
 I also did my sinks, it works well, they were nice an shiny. I have heard that you might not want to use this on your granite and let it sit for long periods of time as it will eventually eat away at it.But I used it on my marble counter and it was fine, but I didn't let it sit for long.
Anyways... try it, your like it :)

* One note some people don't like the smell, I don't mind it, but if your in a small place just make sure its well ventilated. You can always add a few drops of essential oil if you prefer.
 I've seen this recipe calling for 12oz of Dawn but I think that is way to much! Could you imagine all the bubbles? Mine worked fine with 3-4oz. I have plans for more Dawn Recipes, so I don't want to waste any!

Here is what you will need:

12 oz. of White Vinegar
3-4 oz of Blue Dawn Dish Detergent (I used the Ultra Concentrated Original Scented Dawn)
1 empty Squirt Bottle
that's it!


1.Heat the Vinegar in the microwave until hot (30- 45 seconds)
2. Add the Dawn Dish Detergent, put the sprayer lid on and swish it around. Don't shake it or it will bubble up to much!
3. Spray on and wait at least a hour .... scrub and rinse (remember you can leave this on over night for tuff jobs) Don't be impatient like me, and take it off to soon, you'll just have to work harder and use more!

Here you have a powerful cleaner that gets rid of soap scum and build up! And its green too! Works just as good as scrubbing bubbles I used to use!


* Revised 6-5-12
After I got done spraying all the sinks and the showers I went back and sprinkled some baking soda on the shower floor and the sinks etc....all I can say is Wow! That worked really well!! Its so sparkly ans shiny :)
