Dawn Professional Multi-Surface Degreaser is a solvent-surfactant hybrid designed for commercial-level kitchen grime, such as animal fats and protein films. Although it shares the well-known "Dawn" branding, this is a distinct, high-alkalinity formula containing monoethanolamine. It is specifically engineered to clean exhaust hoods and stainless steel with minimal mechanical scrubbing. The nozzle is designed to deliver a concentrated stream rather than a fine mist, which helps manage inhalation risk in smaller kitchen spaces.
Tests show that this no-rinse formula can evaporate without leaving streaks on stainless steel, though a 60-second dwell time is recommended for vertical surfaces. Because of its high alkalinity, it is best to avoid use on varnished wood or porous stone, as it can strip finishes more aggressively than standard dish soap. The trigger is built for high-repetition use, providing a reliable experience for large-scale cleaning tasks.
For a heavy-duty option that focuses specifically on carbonized food inside the oven, consider the Easy-Off Heavy Duty Oven Cleaner.
