    Possibly but I have wondered/wandered for a long time why people say to put a drop of Dawn dish soap in weed killer or whatever, and have just wandered/wondered why it has to be Dawn. That is all.

      Because that's just the way it is old man. Shouldn't you be wandering (wondering?) around somewhere?

        Wandering is a sign of dementia.

          When we a adopted our pup from the Montgomery county shelter, they let you wash the dogs there and all they had was Dawn. They said something about it does wonders on fleas and is very gentle on their skin and coats.

            So, Dawn will kill African bees? Good to know. So Ajax or Palmolive does not work on them?

            Thanks. So it doesn't need to be Dawn for killing bees, and I can save the $1.34?
            If you need a $1.34 just let me know!

                Burn, with your investigating skills you should already have Dawns formula.[emoji1]

                  Palmolive is for 1960's housewives, HEB dish soap sucks, Dawn is the WD40 of dish soaps. Kills fleas, ticks, cures grease under your finger nails, cuts oil spills, and isn't too shabby on dishes.

                    For weed killers, green palmalave works better....

                      Or for a flea and tick shampoo.
                      Let dawn sit on a dog for about 10 minutes fleas and thicks will actually pop....

                        I wondered up to the liquor store earlier and loaded up; actually (also) bought a bottle of single malt since I haven't drank/drunk Scotch in awhile. Got mama margarita ingredients to keep her happy/loose!

                        I have wandered if I already have the dementia!

                        Now, that is a legit endorsement for Dawn!

                        Does it also kill toenail fungus, or do I need another brand?

                          So here's the scoop on Dawn (blue Dawn only):

                          Dawn is made by Proctor & Gamble, who keeps their recipe very secret. While their marketing spokesperson says that part of it's power is due to the high concentration of its surfactants, it was also designed to be gentle on hands (through pH modifiers). Because it is gentle on hands, it is also safe for use on animals.

                          While the recipe is a highly confidential trade secret, the ingredients, of course, are listed on the bottle (although I learned that, unlike food, the ingredients in non-food items do not have to be listed in order of their percentage in the product). Numerous and various surfactants are listed but there is one item several chemists say is absent from the other dishwashing liquids agains which they compared Dawn...petroleum. Ironic, isn't it? Apparently, petroleum in whatever form it's in helps to separate grease from whatever it's adhered to.

                          So, there you have it: surfactants, high concentration, pH modifiers, and petroleum is the answer to the original question.

                          Outside of that, the numerous testimonials give credence to the old adage, "the plural of antidote is data."

                            ^^^^^What he said....I think. Summed up more easily tho-you might spend less on the others but you get less....because your buying more water and less soap.

                                Dawn is all we use for dishes, but when it comes to washing greasy, dirty, black boiler pipe water hands.........IVORY is the only way to go
