I can't find it anywhere but online. I went to the DAWN website at http://www.dawn-dish.com/en_US/powerdissolver.do and sent them an email (kind of tricky to find - you have to go to their site map and jump through some hoops) about it - as there are many websites where people are looking for this product. I can't find it at any of the stores that I used to be able to purchase it or any of the stores that their locator directs you. They send you to Amazon but there are other sources, including some places that will sell it to you by the case - unfortunately the shelf life is only one year. I suspect that it has something to do with discontinuing and marketing.
I told them in my email that it is the only product that has been able to get baked on food and grease off my stainless steel Dacor cooktop - nothing else, including the manufacturer's recommended products work. I think I'll be purchasing it online and hope that Proctor and Gamble decide to remarket the product so that it is on the shelves next to the heavy duty oven cleaners.

I did some digging around and found some available as a 6-pack on this site, the price is the best I've been able to find and it looks like they have free shipping: http://www.buydmi.com/dawn-institutional-power-dissolver-1-qt-btl-6-pk-p/pgc%2056037.htm
Proctor and Gamble stated very clearly that there is not a big enough demand for this product for them to continue making it in anything but the 32oz bottles that you can only buy at large stores that sell bulk cleaning stuff or amazon or other places online. Most of those places are only selling it by the case which is 6 bottles. You can find single bottles or sets of three bottles on eBay but you will generally pay more for them than you would if you just bought the case ( I'm talking about price per bottle here, not the total cost) so a lot of folks who use this often just buy the case. It states it has a shelf life of one year but proctor says 2 if kept in the right conditions like inside your home instead of in the garage with heat and freeze. There is a recipe on pinterest that you can look up that is as close a replica as anyone has ever seen for making your own DPD and the ingredients aren't that hard to find if you are crafty and like to do that sort of thing. Why they always manage to get rid of things that actually work and blame it on people not buying enough of it when people are everywhere begging for it so you know it sold well is beyond me. Happens all the time, though, and really makes you wonder what the hell proctor and gamble were thinking ! Hope any of this info. helps someone out there get back the cleaner we all love so much and the only one that actually worked on those dirty, dirty, aluminum pans.
I have not been able to find this item and where and I absolutely loved it for my laudry. Awesome at getting out stains. Why is it discontinued? Please bring it back. Nothing I've used works as well.
