Green Cleaning SpecialistAmong the myriad cleaning products available, I find multi-purpose cleaners to be the most useful. These cleaners efficiently tackle various surfaces such as countertops, refrigerator exteriors, and mirrors. When it comes to floors, I select a cleaner based on the specific type—whether it's vinyl, tile, or wood. However, for most other cleaning tasks, a reliable multipurpose cleaner gets the job done effectively. - QuestionMy Dawn Powerwash sprayer will not work! What should I do to get it working?Myhouse2345Community AnswerThe nozzle of the sprayer is probably clogged, try poking it with a pin. If that does not work, you can buy a sprayer at most supermarkets.

Tips
- If you accidentally poured the Dawn dish soap and rubbing alcohol into the bottle before the water, don't worry! Just pour the water into the bottle very slowly to minimize foaming.Thanks
Tips from our Readers
- Spraying Dawn Powerwash directly on ants and roaches can kill them on contact. It can also paralyze or slow down other bugs so you have time to find a swatter.
- If your spray bottle gets clogged, you might have added too much soap. Just add some more water and a small amount of rubbing alcohol to the bottle.
- Adding rosemary essential oil to your Dawn Powerwash can make it even more effective at killing pests.
Things You’ll Need

About This Article
Reader Success Stories
- "This recipe works as well as the commercial product. It's a great all purpose cleaner. We use it for stains on clothing, microfiber furniture and countertops - it's safe for granite and quartz. If you mix a very soapy solution - the Dawn product is very sudsy - you'll have to rinse. This recipe makes a less sudsy liquid, and I don't have to rinse most things, just polish with a soft cloth."..." more
