How is Dawn Direct Foam™ different from other Dawn products?
Dawn Direct Foam is a powerful, grease-absorbing foam rather than a liquid. As such, you only need one pump of Dawn Direct Foam to finish the dishes. And there's no need to fill the sink with water. Simply apply Dawn Direct Foam directly to your damp sponge and wash each dish. Then rinse as you normally do. If you need to reactivate the foam, just squeeze your sponge. Try all the scents: Fresh Rapids™, Lime Surge™, and Citrus Kick™, which is also an antibacterial foaming hand soap. It’s also available with Bleach Alternative.

How can I get the most out of Dawn Direct Foam?
Dawn Direct Foam is particularly great for powering through a load of dishes. That's because you only need one pump of foam to wash a sink full of dishes*. Cleaning many dishes at once helps you get the most out of each pump. Plus, money-saving refills are available in selected scents.

How does Dawn Direct Foam technology work?
The powerful foam formula of Dawn Direct Foam actually absorbs grease away from your dishes as you wash. The absorbent material of a sponge retains the single pump of foam that you need, which helps it last through your sink full of dishes*. To reactivate the formula as you wash, simply squeeze the sponge and continue washing. Remember not to submerge the sponge in water, as it will dilute the foam formula.

Can I use Dawn Direct Foam with a dishcloth or dishwashing tool other than a sponge?
It is not recommended. While other Dawn dish liquids work with any brush or dishcloth, Dawn Direct Foam is most effective when used with a sponge. That's because the absorbent material of a sponge retains the single pump of foam that you need, helping it last through your sink full of dishes*. To reactivate the formula as you wash, simply squeeze the sponge and continue washing.

How can I clean my sponge?
One easy way to clean your sponge is to dampen it and then microwave it for 2 minutes on high power. Another tip for cleaning your sponge is to run it through the dishwasher with a load of dishes.

Can I use Dawn Direct Foam in a sink full of water?
It is not recommended.Dawn Direct Foam is most effective when used directly on dishes. To get the most out of Dawn Direct Foam, pump one dollop of foam onto your sponge and wash with minimal water. Don't submerge the sponge, as this will dilute the powerful formula. To reactivate the foam, simply squeeze the sponge and continue washing. Then rinse each dish as you normally would.

Is Dawn Direct Foam an antibacterial hand soap?
Yes, one of the three scents is antibacterial. Dawn Direct Foam Citrus Kick helps fight germs on your hands when used as a hand soap. Dawn Direct Foam is also available in two other scents, Fresh Rapids and Lime Surge.
