Dawn Launches New Refill Jug and Upgraded Platinum Formula Designed to Make Washing Dishes Faster and Easier

New ergonomic jug pours 37% faster*; upgraded Platinum formula cuts through grease with 25% less scrubbing**.

CINCINNATI--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dawn, the #1 dishwashing liquid in the United States***, announced today the launch of a newly redesigned Dawn refill jug and upgraded Platinum formula. The new refill system makes it easier than ever to adopt a dish soap refill routine that saves money, time, and effort.

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 Contributing to that “sinking feeling” at the sink are outdated habits, specifically the repetitive effort and waste of buying a new bottle every time the soap runs out.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.

Availability

New Dawn Platinum value-size jugs featuring the upgraded formula are available in stores nationwide and online. Consumers can experience the ultimate value and superior cleaning power with the 90-oz jugs for a suggested retail price of $11.88, or the 24-oz bottles starting at $4.94.
