Dawn power dissolve

Im looking for something to clean my pads.
I have tried snappy clean, dishwasher, and laundry detergent. I remember reading somewhere that dawn power dissolve is the way to go. The problem is, no Canadian Tire or Wal mart Ive been to has it.
Anybody know where I can get this or if there is a canadian equivalent? Preferably in GTA?

Re: Dawn power dissolve

I think I've gotten it at Walmart too. It's just a common dish detergent. Should be at a number of places like grocery stores

Re: Dawn power dissolve

Im using palmolive too, does little.

I just realized dawn power dissolve is not even on their website. The only other product which has "power" is "Dawn power scrubbers". Is this a worthy substitution?

Looks like it's still there:

Dawn Power Dissolver

If you can't find DPD locally then try a good APC.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize this thread in the Canada forum...... I was just browsing through new posts.

My APC won't do you much good either since it was reformulated a couple of years back and I hesitate to recommend the new version that I haven't tried yet. I think I recall reading about guys using Simple Green to clean pads, but any good APC should work fine.

Re: Dawn power dissolve

I've used Purple Power to clean mine before. Works good at getting stuff that's been sitting for a while off.
