Choosing the Dawn Platinum refill jug provides the best value for any household.
P&G consumer research confirms that dishwashing is the #1 most disliked daily chore. Contributing to that "sinking feeling" at the sink are outdated habits, specifically the repetitive effort and waste of buying a new bottle every time the soap runs out. While adopting a refill regimen saves both time and money, P&G found that only 12% of households currently use refill jugs. Dawn is closing that gap with an upgraded refill system featuring a new and improved Dawn Platinum formula that attracts grease like a magnet and reduces scrubbing by 25%**. The powerful formula is housed in an ergonomically redesigned value-size jug with a precision-engineered spout that makes refilling Dawn EZ-Squeeze bottles fast, easy, and spill-free.
A Seamless Dish Soap Refill Regimen
The days of slow, messy refills are over. The new Dawn Platinum jug features an ergonomic handle and a precision-engineered EZ-Pour spout that pours 37% faster* and requires nearly 50% less effort*.
- Eliminates Mess: The EZ-Pour spout is specifically engineered to be compatible with Dawn EZ-Squeeze bottles, guaranteeing an easy, mess-free refill every time.
- Best Value for Dawn Platinum: Adopting the Dawn Platinum refill routine instead of rebuying is not only a kitchen hack for speed, but it's also a smart move for the wallet, offering the lowest cost per ounce for Dawn Platinum's grease-fighting power.
- Refill and Reuse: Choosing the Dawn refill jug allows people to reuse their EZ-Squeeze bottles, reducing the need to buy multiple new bottles.
"Time is valuable, and the last thing anyone needs is a slow, messy refill process standing between them and a clean kitchen," says Angelica Matthews, Brand Vice President for North America Dish Care at Procter & Gamble. "We re-designed the new Dawn Platinum refill jug to make the process much quicker and cleaner – helping you save time, money, and effort so you can clean smarter, not harder."
Superior Cleaning Power via Upgraded Platinum Formula
More than just a packaging innovation, Dawn has upgraded its iconic, grease-fighting Platinum formula to be even more effective. The enhanced formula is packed with powerful soil-removing ingredients engineered to safely break down grease and tough food residue on contact.
- Cuts Grease Fast: The new and improved Platinum formula attracts grease like a magnet, helping to remove up to 99% of grease and food residue.
- Reduces Time Spent Scrubbing: The enhanced dish soap requires 25% less scrubbing**, and even works on notoriously complex messes like cheesy, baked pastas or sticky ribs.
- Makes Doing the Dishes Faster and Easier: By combining the faster-pouring jug with the faster-cleaning liquid, Dawn Platinum saves time, money, and effort when doing the dishes.
Step-by-Step Dawn Dish Soap Refill Instructions
Engineered for speed and precision, the Dawn Platinum refill system is designed to work in seamless harmony with the EZ-Squeeze bottle.
- Monitor Soap Levels: Pay attention to when the amount of Dawn remaining reaches the "time to refill" indicator on the Dawn EZ-Squeeze bottle.
- Prepare the Bottle: Unscrew the EZ-Squeeze cap and place the empty bottle upright on a flat, stable surface.
- Position the Jug: Open the Dawn Platinum refill jug cap and align the precision-engineered EZ-Pour spout directly with the mouth of the EZ-Squeeze bottle.
- Execute Controlled Pour: Gently tilt the jug to initiate a smooth flow of dish soap. The EZ-Pour spout is designed to prevent spilling and product waste.
- Secure and Store: Once the bottle is filled, firmly screw the EZ-Squeeze cap back onto the bottle and return the refill jug to below the sink.
