His results are in.

A man is going viral on TikTok after revealing a clever Dawn Power wash hack for drivers.

In a recent video, Ceith Griffith (@ceithgriffith) claimed that Dawn Power wash can help prevent snow and ice from sticking to a car’s windshield. He demonstrated the trick, and as of Sunday, the clip had racked up over 128,400 views.

How can Dawn Power wash be used on your car?

Griffith explained in his video that Dawn Power wash can also prevent fog from forming on a car’s windshield. He called it the “absolute best hack” for winter.

Griffith then demonstrated how to apply the soapy solution to a car’s windshield.

First, he grabbed a bottle of Dawn Power wash and sprayed it generously across the glass.

“Be sure to spray your windshield wipers too,” he advised.

Next, he instructed viewers to rub the soap into the windshield until it disappears and the surface is clear. That’s all it takes!

“As long as you wipe it in completely, there will be no film or haze,” Griffith assured.

He explained that when properly applied, the soap helps prevent frost, ice, and snow from sticking to the windshield. Additionally, this trick can keep the glass from fogging up.

“This is a great way to ensure you can get up in the morning and head out without hassle,” Griffith said. “Just be sure to wipe it all the way in so there’s no haze left behind.”

He added, “This is by far my favorite hack!”

Does it really work?

Back in November, Griffith shared a similar tip on TikTok, but that video received mostly negative feedback from viewers who claimed the hack didn’t work for them.

That said, all of these reports are anecdotal, and there’s no solid evidence proving whether this trick is effective or not.

One potential downside of using Dawn Power wash on your windshield is the possibility of streaks. While many car experts recommend using dedicated windshield cleaners, a diluted mix of Dawn Power wash and water can serve as a quick alternative in a pinch.

Trucker shares his own cleaning method:

In the r/Truckers subreddit on Reddit, one user shared their approach to cleaning their car using a squeegee along with a mix of Dawn and water.

“Spray the windshield down well with this mixture of windshield wash and Dawn, let it sit for a minute, and then use the truck stop squeegee to scrub and clean the windows,” they wrote. “It works very well.”

Viewers remain skeptical of the hack:

In the comments section of Griffith’s video, many users questioned whether the hack actually works. Others who had already tried it shared their disappointment, saying they didn’t see the promised results.

“I tried this,” one viewer commented. “It didn’t work.”

“I don’t believe you,” another added.

A third person questioned the science behind the hack, asking, “OK, I’ll bite—what’s the active ingredient that prevents ice from sticking?”

Others took issue with Griffith’s wording, arguing that it’s not technically possible to wipe dish soap into a car’s windshield.

“I’m no rocket scientist, but how exactly do you wipe it in to a surface that isn’t porous?” one user asked.

“You can’t wipe something into a surface that’s not porous,” another user pointed out. “You’re just wiping it off.”

Despite the mixed reviews, a few drivers expressed curiosity about whether Griffith’s hack would actually work.

“Thanks for the tip,” one commenter wrote.

“I’ll give it a shot, hoping he’s right,” another user commented.

“Thanks for the tip! This sounds great,” a third person added.

Phundi.com has contacted Griffith via a TikTok comment and reached out to Procter & Gamble (P&G), the manufacturer of Dawn dish soap, through email.
