Dawn Powerwash

Meet the original Dawn Powerwash Dish Spray. Spray, wipe, rinse, and enjoy powerful grease removal with minimal effort.

Why it worked

The video taps into the popular 'cleaning hacks' trend by demonstrating a 'worst-case scenario' experiment with common household stains and products, creating curiosity about the effectiveness of each.

Summary

The creator tests two cleaning products, Dawn Powerwash and Greased Lightning, on motor oil stains on jeans. After an initial treatment and sun-baking, the jeans are washed, and the creator concludes that Dawn Powerwash was more effective than Greased Lightning.

Structure

1Pour motor oil on jeans and let them bake in the sun.
2Treat one leg with Dawn Powerwash and the other with Greased Lightning.
3Scrub the stains and blast them with a water hose.
4Wash the jeans after an accidental interruption.

IF THESE JEANS CAN SURVIVE THESE USED MOTOR OIL STAINS I'M GONNA BE IMPRESSED. I POURED USED MOTOR OIL ON BOTH PANT LEGS AND LET THEM BAKE IN THE SUN ALL DAY. THEN I TREATED ONE LEG WITH THE DAWN POWER WASH AND THE OTHER WITH GREASED LIGHTNING AND I SCRUBBED THEM IN INSTEAD OF FLUSHING THE STAINS FROM THE BACK, I'M GONNA BLAST BOTH STAINS FROM THE FRONT WITH THE WATER HOSE. AND GIGS. I JUST WANTED TO SEE IF THESE PRODUCTS WERE GOOD ENOUGH TO OVERCOME BAD TECHNIQUE. THIS IS HOW I RUN MY EXPERIMENTS. AND GIRL, GUESS WHAT? RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS EXPERIMENT, YOU KNOW, LIFE HAPPENS. THREW THEM IN THE WASHER. I NEVER EVEN GOT TO SEE THE FREAKING RESULTS BECAUSE I LEFT FOR COLORADO. SO NOW I'M BACK AND THESE JEANS HAVE JUST BEEN SITTING HERE THIS WHOLE TIME. WHICH HONESTLY MAKES AN EVEN BETTER TEST. I WILL SAY THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS DAWN DEFINITELY GOT MORE THAN GREASED LIGHTNING DID. IT WASN'T PERFECT, BUT MAKE ME WONDER IF ONE MORE ROUND WOULD DO. ROUND, I'M GONNA MAKE NOT LET IT SOAK. I AM GONNA SPRAY IT ON, SCRUB IT IN FOR UNDER A MINUTE, THROW THESE BAD BOYS RIGHT IN THE WASH. CAUSE REMEMBER, I DO, LIKE, WORST CASE SCENARIO EXPERIMENTS. AND GIRL, THAT DAWN SHOWED UP AND OUT. LOVE YOUR FACE.
