Based on a proprietary solvent-based technology, Dawn Power Dissolver works like a pre-treatment for your dishes the same a laundry pre-treat helps you get your clothes clean. Spray it on pots, pans and other cookware with baked-on, burnt-on greasy food. "Wait 15 minutes and with no scrubbing or soaking, it literally slides off."

Well...that's what the press kit says. In my experience it wasn't quite that easy, a small amount of scrubbing was required. Nonetheless, Dawn Dissolver significantly cuts down on the scrubbing, and pots and pans come clean much easier than they do without the product, so I do recommend it.

You can, if you choose, use the Power Dissolver instead of dishwashing liquid. Since it contains a thickening agent, it adheres to the dirty dishes instead of sliding off, making for maximum soaking time and product effectiveness.

Dawn Power Dissolver works on most pots, pans and dishes, stoves, ovens or grills but should not be used on copper, varnished or painted wood, appliance lettering, scratched non-stick surfaces, oven hoods and dishwasher doors.
