Dawn
Reviews and Complaints

Yes you are right they are crazy for two 12oz bottles. At the store they were 8.50 a piece.

Is "Dawn Professional Liquid Power Dissolver" the "replacement" for Dawn Power Dissolver?
Amazon has something listed as "Dawn Dish Power Dissolver" and "Dawn Professional 56037 Dish Power Dissolver" and 2 or 3 other descriptions. But the packages all look the same (but none look like the old blue bottle of "Down Power Dissolver").
Amazon has something named "Dawn Professional Heavy-Duty Degreaser PGC04854" which is a blue liquid in a transparent bottle (a 6 pack for $44).
Is there a replacement?

Please bring back this product. It worked great!

Please bring Dawn Power Dissolver back. The old stuff was better. I really works great.

I don't remember seeing this advertised much; my mom told me about it. It worked fantastic and I really wish they'd bring it back. They should do a survey and find out which of their cleaners we all want back!

I think Dawn Power Dissolver was discontinued because it had a chemical that caused cancer and that is why there has no explanation about why this product was discontinued. It just seems strange to stop making a product everyone loved.

How disappointing that P&G again stopped making a product that works. Sometimes they change just for the sake of change, to keep their product development team looking like they're doing something. Years ago they stopped making the original scent Gain detergent. I don't think it ever really came back, although they market it as such. When I asked someone at P&G why original scent Gain was gone, he said people really didn't care that much for the scent. Why, I asked, did they come out with Gain-scented dryer sheets after they discontinued the detergent?, I asked. He didn't really have an answer for that. But if people "don't like the scent, " why would they buy dryer sheets that smell like Gain?
P&G is a goofy company, albeit it huge. And now they're trying to affect social issues with ads about racism, etc. Sell detergent! Sell Olay! Sell what works!

This was a wonderful product, very disappointed it has been discontinued.

Found this in stock on Amazon for $22.00, slightly larger bottle. Not sure if this is the same awesome product, but I'm almost out of my 4-bottle hoard, so I'm willing to give it a try. Maybe P&G listened after all, but needed to change the color of the bottle to save face on the most insane marketing decision ever. I hope I don't start a run on the stuff, but I suspect if everyone meant what they said above, they've already googled this welcome discovery.

I can't believe they discontinue this product. Please bring the product back. It works so good, I am extremely disappointed that I can no longer buy this product.

Deeply saddened to find out that this awesome product has been discontinued! Sure glad I had a stockpile of it! This product is AWESOME and is by far the best cleaner for that baked on, hard to clean pan. I don't know how many people I got started using this...please bring it back!

I have not been able to find this item and where and I absolutely loved it for my laudry. Awesome at getting out stains. Why is it discontinued? Please bring it back. Nothing I've used works as well.

Proctor and Gamble stated very clearly that there is not a big enough demand for this product for them to continue making it in anything but the 32oz bottles that you can only buy at large stores that sell bulk cleaning stuff or amazon or other places online. Most of those places are only selling it by the case which is 6 bottles. You can find single bottles or sets of three bottles on eBay but you will generally pay more for them than you would if you just bought the case ( I'm talking about price per bottle here, not the total cost) so a lot of folks who use this often just buy the case. It states it has a shelf life of one year but proctor says 2 if kept in the right conditions like inside your home instead of in the garage with heat and freeze. There is a recipe on pinterest that you can look up that is as close a replica as anyone has ever seen for making your own DPD and the ingredients aren't that hard to find if you are crafty and like to do that sort of thing. Why they always manage to get rid of things that actually work and blame it on people not buying enough of it when people are everywhere begging for it so you know it sold well is beyond me. Happens all the time, though, and really makes you wonder what the hell proctor and gamble were thinking ! Hope any of this info. helps someone out there get back the cleaner we all love so much and the only one that actually worked on those dirty, dirty, aluminum pans.

I did some digging around and found some available as a 6-pack on this site, the price is the best I've been able to find and it looks like they have free shipping: http://www.buydmi.com/dawn-institutional-power-dissolver-1-qt-btl-6-pk-p/pgc%2056037.htm

I read the Dawn Grill Cleaner is NOT the same formula.

I have been told the product has been discontinued as Dawn Power Disolver, but reborn as Dawn Grill Cleaner! Same contents, just different labeling, etc. Check Home Depot, etc. GOOD LUCK!

I ordered two cases of 32 oz 6 per case from my local Staples free shipping to pick up at store.

This it the commercial version of the 12 oz bottles.

It can also be ordered online for about the same price and shipped to your house:

did a search and found it a Staples in a 6 pack large container

I am a lobsterman from maine.me and lots of other lobstermen used to use dawn, until the company did something with the soap. it is not as thick as it used to be. it is more liquidy then it used to be.it does not cut grease anymore, so i dont use it any more. i use walmart brand now it works great.

It can be bought at CleanitSupply by the case. It doesn't expire to the point, I have had some for 3yrs and just ran out. P&G is thinking of stopping production of this product. I will use my case full sparingly.

This product was the absolute best for broiler pans, pots, stoves ( I have a gas cooktop) and anything else with baked on grease. Nothing else worked. Just spray it on, let it sit overnight and wash with ease in the morning. I have used this for at least 5 or 6 years and could no longer find it. I called Proctor and Gamble and was told it had been discontinued. With all of the positive comments about this product, I was so surprised. Customer service told me to use Dawn Platinum Erasing Dish Foam. Does not work. Why did they discontinue this product? PLEASE bring it back. I know that I would not be the only happy person to see it on the shelves again!
