Dawn Dish Soap Alternative uses
I am an avid fan of Dawn Dish Soap. I like a product that is easy to use and cost effective. If it takes me a lot of time or product to get the job done then it isn’t a product I would use. I know that Dawn works on dishes but I wasn’t sure it could tackle the dirt, oil, and grime on the rims of our tires. I also know that seeing is believing so I would like to show you what i found out.
Dawn Dish Beyond the Sink
You know what they say:” When life on the road gets tough, Dawn gets tougher. Tools are tough. But even greasy, oily tools need love now and again – tough love. Reach for Dawn.”
This is our passenger side front tire.
This is the up close and personal look at the grime, dirt, oil, and whatever else accumulated on there.
In order to, clean the rims place one gallon of warm water in a bucket and then add 1 teaspoon of Dawn for each gallon of your bucket. Next, you will dip a soft sponge into the bucket, and squeeze out any of the excess suds or water. I used the dual sided sponge just in case I needed to scrub.
You will need to scrub those hubs until all grease has been removed from the metal surface.
Then with a soft towel I wiped down the tire. It hardly required any “man power”. The Dawn did the heavy lifting for me.
I was so impressed with my results that I went on to tackle my tools. I figure if Dawn could cut the grease and oils on the tire imagine what it could do on my tools.
Dawn Dish Beyond the Sink Proof #1 – Dawn Cleans Wheels and Tires
Can Dawn clean Greasy Tools?
Again add a teaspoon of Dawn to a gallon of hot water. I used a couple of drops to clean this wrench.
Then with a dishrag or sponge, scrub away the grease and oil.
Note: Do not soak hand tools.
When clean, thoroughly rinse them under running water and dry them with a towel right away.
Please, also note that soaking could lead to etching on certain materials.

The hardest tools I have to clean are in the kitchen – my pots and pans. I have used nothing but Dawn for years. It’s the only one that works!
October 26, 2014 @ 2:24 am
OUr hammers get yucky. This is a good tip.
October 26, 2014 @ 11:02 pm
We have been using Dawn for years. It’s great on oily or greasy stains in clothes.
October 27, 2014 @ 12:41 am
My tweezers always get gunky this is a great idea
October 28, 2014 @ 1:00 am
I don’t use a lot of tools, but my scissors come to mind. I just asked my husband and he said his sockets. He said that it’s not that it’s hard to get off, but they are always the dirtiest. And we’ve never used Dawn for anything other than dishes or for greasy stains in the laundry. You’ve opened our eyes to new ways to use it.
October 28, 2014 @ 5:15 pm
Great tips! What a huge difference on the car tire. Wow!
October 28, 2014 @ 7:23 pm
Hardest tool to clean is my gardening tools, that could use a Dawn cleaning and shine.
October 28, 2014 @ 7:34 pm
Can’t wait
October 29, 2014 @ 12:52 am
my grill tools they get pretty sticky after a good cookout
October 29, 2014 @ 1:11 pm
Probably a wrench.
October 29, 2014 @ 1:25 pm
hardest tools to clean are screwdrivers!
October 29, 2014 @ 1:50 pm
the yard tools and the garden hand tools, those need a real deep clean, we use them quite often
October 29, 2014 @ 9:14 pm
My hardest tool is the garden pruners, they always end up with tree sap that’s hard to get off.
November 7, 2014 @ 1:34 pm
I think the tools that get the dirtiest are the garden/pruning sheers and the shovels.
November 7, 2014 @ 2:57 pm
I would say my dishes are the hardest to clean but my husband would have lots of tools to clean.
November 7, 2014 @ 8:09 pm
The hardest tool too clean screwdrivers
November 13, 2014 @ 2:45 am
all of my husbands tools seem hard to clean. they are both greasy and dirty. there are small parts that are hard to get into to clean. some are electrical so I have to be extra careful cleaning.
November 15, 2014 @ 10:33 pm
Hardest tool to clean is my wrench
November 16, 2014 @ 2:29 pm
I love Dawn!
November 16, 2014 @ 3:25 pm
our hardest tools to clean are our wrenches, they seem to pull gunk from other objects and keep them.
November 16, 2014 @ 8:43 pm
it would be wrenches
November 17, 2014 @ 2:16 am
Many uses for Dawn, I am going to try it on the rims of my car!
November 17, 2014 @ 2:22 am
I never thought about using Dawn on cleaning my rims on my car. It is gentle enough and made your tires look nice and clean! I will do this and use dawn next time! I would use Dawn on my rims.
November 17, 2014 @ 2:51 am
Wow, I didn’t realize that Dawn was so versatile.
November 17, 2014 @ 2:57 am
wow, dawn really does a great job
November 17, 2014 @ 4:14 am
I would day my pliers
November 17, 2014 @ 5:01 am

I LOVE blue dawn. I use it for so many things in my home. It is awesome for stains on clothes.
November 17, 2014 @ 10:10 am
Who would’ve know there are SO many uses. What a great product!
November 17, 2014 @ 2:12 pm
the hardest thing is cleaning a ratchet. I have yet to find a good way to clean these.
November 17, 2014 @ 2:19 pm
Dawn is awesome!! Bathe my dog in it… Gets rid of fleas!! 🙂
November 17, 2014 @ 2:32 pm
Love Dawn! Cant believe it has so many uses! I will make sure i have a few bottles on hand,thanks!
November 17, 2014 @ 2:57 pm
I really like dawn because no matter what I use it for, it never leaves my hands rough!
November 17, 2014 @ 6:46 pm
Dawn is also great for giving your dog a bath killing fleas
November 17, 2014 @ 6:55 pm
I love Dawn dish soap and am constantly learning more uses like these. Why buy any other dish soap?
November 17, 2014 @ 11:02 pm
I use Dawn, Vinegar and hot water as an all-purpose cleaner everywhere in the house.
November 17, 2014 @ 11:26 pm
The hardest tool to clean would be my clamps.
November 18, 2014 @ 12:35 am
I use Dawn and vinegar and water in a spray bottle for my go to bathroom/shower cleaner…..
November 18, 2014 @ 12:38 am
Sockets are the hardest for me to clean. I find that using dawn straight from the bottle without any added water is the very best for cutting grease.
November 18, 2014 @ 3:50 am
Clean baked on food.
November 18, 2014 @ 4:04 am
My garden pruners are a pain to clean. They get covered with tree sap and stuff. I’ve never thought of using Dawn dish detergent. I’ll have to try it. Thanks!
November 18, 2014 @ 3:33 pm
With six kids ,I would say the hardest thing to keep clean would be the laundry.
November 18, 2014 @ 4:42 pm
This is perfect- I am a huge Dawn user! It is my go-to for carpet stains! I sprinkle baking soda on a stain, let it sit 10 minutes or so, vacuum it up and then mix 2 Tbsp. vinegar with a couple drops of Dawn in warm water and scrub the stain- it hasn’t failed me yet!
November 18, 2014 @ 4:43 pm
It seems like scissors are the hardest to keep clean in my house- they are always getting used for sticky purposes!
November 19, 2014 @ 2:12 am
Dawn is the only dish soap I use!!!!
November 19, 2014 @ 4:57 am
the hardest tool to clean is my wrench!! it can be hard sometimes to get in the grooves, but DAWN makes ANY CLEANING EASY!!!
November 19, 2014 @ 5:31 am
Awesome! Thanks for tip
November 19, 2014 @ 5:47 am
I love Dawn dish soap cleans any grease off all things without causing harm.
November 19, 2014 @ 7:09 am
My hardest tool to clean up is my paint brushes
November 19, 2014 @ 7:36 am
This is a great post! I am excited to learn more uses for Dawn. Why would anyone else need another soap!
November 19, 2014 @ 8:13 pm
Probably my super old oven! Thanks for the giveaway!
November 20, 2014 @ 11:48 pm
I use it to clean everything
November 21, 2014 @ 2:38 pm
I’ve been using Dawn soap for years, I was hooked whey I saw the commercial on tv when they were cleaning oil off of ducks, my husband uses it in the garage, uses it to clean oil drops on the driveaway and I use it to take stains out of clothes and everything in the kitchen.
November 22, 2014 @ 8:09 am
I used Dawn to clean my CATS! My indoor cats got fleas really bad, and after we gave them their medicine, I carefully sponge-bathed them with Dawn, then combed out all the dead fleas. Magic! And non-toxic!
November 25, 2014 @ 3:23 am
I never thought you could use these on your rims have to tell hubby
November 25, 2014 @ 6:10 am
I’ve always used Dawn dish soap to wash my car too! It’s great for tons of things!
November 25, 2014 @ 6:12 am
I’ve always used Dawn dish soap to wash my car! Does a great job!
November 26, 2014 @ 12:17 am
We use Dawn on a LOT of things around here–indoors and out.
November 27, 2014 @ 3:31 am
I love how Dawn soap cleans other things other than dishes!
November 28, 2014 @ 12:04 pm
Dawn is a great product! I like the smell, and it takes much less Dawn to get the job done than other products.
November 28, 2014 @ 5:53 pm
Wow, my fiancé has a shed full of dirty tools and a truck that he uses for work…definitely going to try Dawn!
November 29, 2014 @ 4:27 pm
I also am an avid fan of Dawn. It is the only dish soap I will buy. It cleans through Everything! I use it to get stains out of clothes all the time. I love that it works so hard on stains and dishes but it isn’t to hard on my hands.
November 30, 2014 @ 1:49 am
Dawn is the only dish washing liquid I use – my mother-in-law used it and taught me to, as well – 35 years ago, and I love it.
November 30, 2014 @ 2:05 am
I use dawn as clothes washer soap…. I gallon of water 3 tablespoons each : Dawn regular strength and scent, washing soda, borax. I also use dawn on a noisy car fan belt…just run car and drip dawn on belt…. just a couple drops is all it takes 🙂
