Discovered A product to STOP the BITING

[silverlark]

I have discovered a new soap that seems to be able to stop the moving, and biting feeling on contact.....

I have applied Dawn "Power Dissover" which does mildly burn the skin for 5 min then goes away and is wahsed off...
I would NOT apply this to very sensitive areas .....I have applied to nose and mouth area which is somewhat sensitive area but this will work...

I do not belive it will kill but seems to be able to stop any ithcing or movement, and biting feelings...........

well it is interesting what you have posted, what type of product exactly is dawn power dissolver? i know just plain old dawn dish soap (the blue kind) can be quite useful. did you know that they use it to save birds after an oil spill? they wash the birds with it to remove the oil slime which can kill them. it is something safe which really does work. know how hard it is to get oil out of fur or feathers? one time i had a tiny kitten i adopted from the pound, a beautiful calico but she had not been processed at the animal shelter. well the poor thing was COVERED in a black mass of fleas. well being a little thing a flea collar or flea bath would kill it, it was too tiny. so i called a vet up and they said they use dawn dishsoap to use on tiny animals so as not to hurt them from poison. those thousands of fleas, and it killed every last one! without hurting the bitty kitten, how neat! you can use it on adult pets too, it will kill fleas without poison. the reason why have posted on palmolive oxy dish soap is thaqt it is oxgeated, the oxygenation kills stuff on skin like gangbusters, and i shared its help for me because seemed like that week we had a epidemic of miserable crawly bity stingy folk. thanks for the post, look forward to you telling me exactly what this product is, (LC).

'According to Dawn's marketing, Power Dissolver is "Ideal for use on baked and burnt-on grease." Use instructions say to spray it on, let it sit for 10 to 30 minutes, and then wipe it clean. The solvent breaks down the grease or stuck-on or burnt food, making it much easier to remove than it would have been otherwise. Now, I will say that the claim that "grease literally slides off" overstates the effectiveness of the product more than just a little; but for what it does do, I'm willing to forgive a bit of hyperbole.

The liquid itself has a relatively benign, if not exactly pleasant, smell. It sprays out of the trigger-pump bottle in a thin foam; however the foam will run if the surface is not level.

There are a few warnings on the bottle – most of which are related to the fact that this is a powerful solvent. It will eat through regular paint or varnish, and may react chemically with some metals like copper. If you are at all unsure whether Dawn Power Dissolver will damage what you want to clean, I'd recommend testing it in an inconspicuous place first. I didn't think about it, and I peeled the paint off an old citrus squeezer that was painted rather than enameled. However, I have had excellent results on enameled pots and appliances.

Pots and Pans
I use Dawn Power Dissolver for several common purposes. First and foremost, of course, is cleaning pots, pans and baking dishes. While it works fine on average greasy dishes, I don't think it really does a better job than standard dish soap there. Where this stuff really excels is with pots or baking dishes that would take twenty minutes of scrubbing with a steel-wool soap pad to get even passably clean.

For instance, if you make baked chicken in a glass baking dish, you always end up with that brown crud in the corners of the dish, around the top, and on the handles. That's the stuff that you could scrub for an hour and not be able to get it all. However, I used Dawn Power Dissolver on a Pyrex pan that I got as a hand-me-down from my mom. It probably had 20 years of brown crud baked onto the handles and other non-cooking surfaces. After spraying the Dawn and letting it sit, that ancient, baked-on, ugly stuff all came off with only minor scrubbing with the scrubby side of my sponge. I won't say this pan looks brand new – It still has a small chip in one handle and the surface is scratched from years of scraping with serving utensils and scrubbing with steel wool. But it is cleaner than it's been in years and years and I wouldn't be embarrassed to take it, say, to a church pot-luck supper. I've had similar results using this on the heavy, enameled cast-iron casserole dishes I acquired when my aunt moved.

For less severe problems, like when the spaghetti sauce sits on the burner a little too long and gets stuck or burnt, this product is like a dream. I always pre-rinse the pot, then spray with the Power Dissolver and let it sit for a while. When I go back to finish the washing, I can generally get the pot clean with regular washing rather than needing to leave it soaking overnight and then scrubbing with a scouring pad. For this reason, Dawn spray is essential for cleaning pots or pans with Teflon surfaces that would be damaged by other cleaning methods.

Other Uses
I do have a couple of uses for this product that are both off-label. First, I sometimes use it for cleaning my microwave oven. When heating up leftovers splatter food all over the inside of the microwave, I'll sometimes spray it with Dawn before cleaning it up. It seems to make things come off easier.

The absolute, hands down, best use for this product though, is cleaning my enameled cook-top. Anyone who has an enameled gas stove knows that they are a pain to clean. You aren't supposed to scrub them with steel-wool or wire brushes for fear of damaging the enamel. Some companies recommend using oven cleaner, but the smell can be overwhelming. With Dawn Power Dissolver, I'll remove the burner grates, spray the cooking spatter, let it sit for a while, and use the scrubby side of sponge to clean it up. Yes, I still have to put in some effort to get everything clean, but I have not found another single product that lets me get off the spattered, cooked-on grease.

Final Thoughts
In short, I think Dawn Power Dissolver is a fabulous product. It doesn't quite do all the work for you, but it does lessen the work you have to do to get your pots and pans (or stove top) clean. It may not eliminate every nasty job, but being able to get my stove and dishes actually clean without leaving icky black or brown spots of baked-on grease, makes this product invaluable and a permanent fixture in my kitchen.'
