Instructions:
Load your laundry washer as usual with clothes and detergent.
Before starting the cycle, drizzle about 1-2 teaspoons of Dawn dish soap directly at the bottom of the washer drum (not in the detergent dispenser).
Start the washing machine on your preferred cycle.
Let the Dawn dish soap work its magic by breaking down tough stains alongside your detergent.
Dry clothes as usual.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Use this method on most washable fabrics, but avoid delicate or dry-clean-only items.
Store your Dawn dish soap in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Always test on a small, hidden fabric area if unsure about a garment’s reaction.
Variations:
For extra stain-fighting power, pre-treat heavily stained areas by applying a small amount of Dawn soap directly to the spot before washing.
Combine with a stain remover stick or spray for very stubborn stains.
Use cold water for delicate fabrics and hot water for whites and heavily soiled clothes.
