With over one million vacant roles in the hospitality industry as of December 2021,1 restaurant owners and staff need cleaning solutions that get more done in less time. That’s why Dawn Professional worked to innovate its best-in-class degreasing solutions: introducing Multi-Surface Heavy Duty Degreaser. Part of the Dawn Professional relaunch, Multi-Surface Heavy Duty Degreaser cuts tough grease two times faster than the leading professional degreaser, allowing restaurants and commercial kitchens to get more done with less product and in less time.

“Restaurants are often the heartbeat of their communities,” said Paul Edmondson, vice president, North America, P&G Professional. “We see them as Small Business Superheroes, so developing innovations that support their needs is at the center of what we do. By improving existing products that customers know and trust with new Dawn Professional offerings, we are empowering these restaurant owners by reducing concerns and stress associated with cleaning so they can do more of what they love—sharing their food with the world.”

The relaunched portfolio of Dawn Professional products includes these grease-fighting solutions:

Dawn Professional Multi-Surface Heavy Duty Degreaser

  • New to the product lineup and designed with commercial kitchens in mind, the multi-surface degreaser cuts tough grease 2x faster than the leading professional competitor. It cuts tough grease on food contact surfaces, stainless steel, range hoods, ovens, walls, outdoors, and more versus the leading professional degreaser.

Dawn Professional Manual Pot & Pan

  • Specifically formulated for tough business jobs, Manual Pot & Pan cuts grease faster than leading foodservice professional manufacturer’s commercial private label dish detergent, helping independent business owners save time.

Dawn Professional Heavy Duty Floor Cleaner

  • This versatile multipurpose cleaner cuts tough grease and brings the grease fighting power of Dawn to commercial kitchen floors.

Dawn Professional Power Dissolver

  • No scrubbing is required for this power dissolver, cutting through baked and burned on grease with ease. Pretreat the toughest pots and pans and wipe the grease away.

Dawn Disinfecting Wipes

  • Get the grease-fighting power of Dawn, now in a daily disinfecting wipe. With hydrogen peroxide as its main active ingredient, these wipes kill 99.9% of bacteria and viruses2, they go beyond just disinfecting and do a great job of cleaning, too.

Dawn Platinum Powerwash Dish Spray

  • Spray activated suds cut through grease on contact, with 5x faster grease cleaning versus Dawn non-concentrated. No water needed until the last step – just spray, wipe, and rinse to stay ahead of the mess and get it done faster. This is great for kitchens that need to wash dishes on the go during busy service times.

“We deeply understand the importance of continuously advancing and improving our line of products for our valued customers,” said Ugochi C. Nwachukwu, Research & Development director with P&G. “This updated portfolio showcases innovations to the Dawn Professional line and features a new product that will have a significant impact on cleaning efficiencies for small businesses. P&G’s products are trusted every day to keep homes clean, and at P&G Professional, we strive to develop products that share the same reliability, but with industrial strength for commercial kitchen cleaning.”
