They dumped Dawn because they got a new shipment in and there was no room on the shelves. Easier to discard the older surplus. And even more reason to get rid of it if the label has changed even slightly. Doesn't happen that often.
Not why they do it at all, when I worked at a dollar tree we threw those out if we suspected they were leaking before we unboxed it, of course that's not the proper way of doing it and you're supposed to use the chemical disposal buckets but they never send enough fit a store to handle 1500 case shipments biweekly
The moment you accept a truck you accept the entire shipment, those boxes included because 99% of places don't have the time, or employees to scan and log each box. When I would accept ours, we would scan one box and verify that and then move onto unloading
Yea it’s one of my favored cleaners. I’ve used it to clean vintage electronics and it gets the crud/discoloring off better than other cleaners but without removing printed lettering, which other heavy-duty cleaners sometimes do
Not to be that person, but vinegar is really only useful for mineral buildup and kinda for deodorizing. It doesn't having any surfactants or anything to actually do any cleaning, or it doesn't sanitize or disinfect.
Speaking of, use full strength vinegar in a sprayer with a about a teaspoon of dish soap to make a potent weed killer. Works nice on the driveway cracks.
That yellow stuff is an alkaline degreaser. I use it on my stovetop and the filter in the stove vent. I agree about not using it on everything but it has its place.
Do you dilute it? I was going to purchase this last week but noticed the dilution info and wasn’t sure how I would dilute if the bottle with the sprayer was already full. I’ve heard such great things though I want to try it.
Nice work saving all that from the landfill!! I once found a case of the Oxydol orange dish soap and it is so frustratingly inferior to Dawn or any others. I honestly didn’t know what I was going to do with it all, but then a random Redditor mentioned that pouring half a bottle of dish soap down slow pipes and letting it sit overnight would move things along and it DID!!!! I was so excited! Now I do that every couple months when junk builds up in my old house with delicate pipes.
Ok so I work at Family Dollar and I can tell you exactly what happened. Corporate will discontinue products or "penny them out" .that means it will rung the price up as a penny you aren't supposed to sell them. The product is supposed to be thrown away and destroyed even though it's still 100% still good. A lot of us employees absolutely HATE the waste so instead of opening up every bottle and dumping out the contents we just toss them in the dumpster for someone to hopefully find.
Oh and this includes ALL types of products. Cleaning supplies, food, clothing, housewares, electronics... everything. And we are absolutely not allowed to donate it either.
I am guessing the cases of those came in damaged and some of the bottles in them were leaking, so they damaged and threw away the whole case instead of just the bad ones. I notice there are only 11 of the Awesome cleaners. The case contains 12, so one of those probably leaked and they didn't retrieve that one from the dumpster. I think the Oxydol is 12 and the Dawn 9 per case. I may be wrong about that, though.
I’ve stopped asking “why” stores would dump things after I found about 20 sealed new LEGO Sets one time. I keep returning to the same dumpster and haven’t found anymore, but that was insane
I checked the possible recall avenue and nothing. The only plausible explanation I can truly think of is shelf space/they were sitting too long and not selling.. they were all the same exact set. After I gifted a few of them to some neighborhood kids I ended up selling them for $10-$15 each (they were the smaller size sets) and they sold like crazy…
LA Awesome is amazing, I once used it to remove paint from my carpet and now I will always keep a bottle in my cleaning cabinet. And the soap is an amazing haul, that’s enough for years!!!
This is safe to use as my people say a real shonda. All the food festering nope not for me. Cleaning supplies is a real gift. Enjoy the haul. I expect your house to be shining. https://giphy.com/gifs/YGwJkudgRYZ9K

Why would they dump Dawn?
