Washing—a ceaseless war on stains, sorting clothes by color, and then folding them again and again. Horror? An obligation? And the worst thing is oil stains. Do you know the number of days I have spent washing clothes for my husband? Just for grease marks to sit there, laughing at me. Despair is real, friends. But there is no reason to fret because from the deeps of dishwashing arose Dawn Platinum Erasing Dish Foam. Yes, I kid you not. That was I. I really did say that; laundry soap has been claimed as a deliverance for clothing in the laundry room. It’s a tale told long from my mother’s friend who says she’s seen its miracle. Now armed with skepticism and a bottle of Dawn liquid, I set out on a mission to banish grease stains once and for all.
But before we go any further—a disclaimer: I am not a domestic goddess. Writing about cleaning is like trying to speak Klingon to me. But if it keeps one person from having oil-stained clothes, discussion of my laundry nightmares is worth it when all else fails.
So there you have it; how the Dawn Platinum Erasing Dish Foam became my laundry superhero in disguise:
The Villain: Grease stains, the archenemy of clean clothes.
Aha moment: The most improbable solution to my problem—dish soap made for cutting grease—came via a friend’s tip.
The big finish: Into the wash they went with my trusty Tide Coldwater Clean detergent.
Triumph (drumroll, please): And these are the results! Some stains needed another go-round, but most of them came out after just one wash, leaving a string of cleaned victories behind.
That was the tale of stains struggling and then winning. And though I still loathe doing laundry as much as I did then, the discovery of Dawn Platinum Erasing Dish Foam has made it just a little bit better.
How to use: Regained some confidence with the Platinum Erasing dish foam. A little goes a long way and you softly rub the foam even on the hardest place on earth.
Wait your turn: Leave it alone for about five minutes before moving on.
But don’t despair—for where there is grease, there is always hope. And perhaps just maybe, a humble dish detergent can be the key to saving your laundry day.
Until then, may your garments stay clean and detergents stay in plenty. Keep going, people—on to cleaner days!
