We included Dawn Powerwash dish spray in some of our October Prime Day 2025 roundups, and were pleasantly surprised to find that it became one of the top three products across all categories in earnings the first day. Now, we bow down to the “holy grail of dish soaps” — which, by the way, can also clean countertops, laundry stains and makeup brushes, among other things. (Oh, and a little life hack for you? This stuff can kill bugs, too, according to reviewers. What can’t it do?)
Our readers aren’t the only ones who love this 2025 winner, however: I can also personally vouch for Powerwash’s ability to cut through grease and grime with virtually no scrubbing.
Shopping writer and avid home cook Griffin Wynne, who compared themselves to Shel Silverstein’s housework-averse heroine Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout, found that Powerwash eliminated the need for scrubbing during a particularly tiresome chore. “I truly spray down my scary pile [of dishes], wait a beat, and then the gross food bits just... fall off,” they wrote in a 2022 editor’s picks roundup.
The spray, which has been called “magical,” “life changing” and “legit sorcery,” has three cleaning boosters and can remove 99% of grease and grime five times faster than other brands. The suds also activate on contact, and the spray functions lets a little go a long way and makes it easy to tackle larger dishes like pots and pans. It’s ridiculously popular — 4.8 stars across over 138,000 ratings is nearly unheard of — and this refill pack comes with four fresh-scented bottles for less than $20.
