Great stuff. It takes out everything!! If I get a spot on my shirt I just put a dab on and it's gone.

I love all these new ideas! I used to be the laundry lady for church purificators (napkins used for communion) and got the red wine stains and lipstick out by using blue Dawn and one of those bleach powders for colored fabrics. If that didn't work on some of the lipstick stains, I went to Dawn and peroxide.

Gave our new little kitty a bath in blue dawn to rid it of fleas!

Hmm This makes me think of using this on my windows instead of buying window cleaner.

A few drops of Dawn in a spray bottle with water kills Japanese beetles that are eating my flowers. Takes them a few minutes to die, but it does the trick. Doesn't seem to hurt the flowers either.

I've bathe our midsize dog with it.... fleas hates it!

A paste with blue Dawn, peroxide, and baking soda takes all kinds of stains out - even the cow manure my husband gets on his shirt/pants when he is working cattle at the barn. Even if you have washed something a few times, this will do the trick.

Use a “foaming hand soap” bottle until empty, then refill it with water and a tablespoon or two of Dawn, swirl it a few times to mix. You can keep refilling it this way multiple times until the pump finally gives out. I use this at the kitchen sink and utility sink. Saves a bundle and is easy on the hands.

It really shouldn't be - for daily use, but for an 'emergency' dye situation, it really works! I'd just condition well after.

We inspect apartments of 19 - 20 year olds. They do a pretty good job of keeping things clean but seem to over look the bath tub. We tell them to use this in their showers to get the scum build up off. It is amazing how well it works.

I get the floor when I'm not in the shower though, since it will get slick! Saves me from having to do a dedicated shower cleaning with some stinky spray.
