This post is sponsored by DAWN and inspired by uses of DAWN beyond the sink. Most people know DAWN as the dish soap that best cuts grease in the sink, but I have just discovered some new uses that go beyond the sink. DAWN is the ultimate secret weapon for cleaning greasy tools and car wheels too! It’s amazing what a teaspoon of DAWN can do! Cleaning tires with Dawn is so easy.
How DAWN Cuts Grease and Dirt on Wheels and Tire Rims
This tip is so simple but it is useful- nothing beats DAWN to remove grease and oil from car or bike wheels. You know that filthy black grime that just doesn’t come off your hub caps and wheels even after a trip through the car wash? Well, now you can get it off your tires easily with some hot water, DAWN, and a sponge. Yup, you can use dish soap to clean wheels!
Can I use DAWN to clean my rims?
Yes, cleaning rims with Dawn works great. Here is how you can use just a teaspoon of DAWN to get sparkly clean tires, rims and hubcaps:

- Use the sponge to rub the hubcaps and tires until all grease has been removed from the surface
- Rinse with clean warm water
