When Dawn detergent was introduced (1973)

 Procter & Gamble introduced Dawn dish detergent in 1973, initially as a complement to Joy and Ivory Liquid. Dawn has become the company's #1 dish detergent, due largely to the fact it can also be used for other purposes, such as removing oil from wildlife.

In this 1973 spot, an African-American couple welcome the husband's boss (Albert Reed, Chase) to dinner, and, well, it's about the after-dinner work.....


Janet MacLachlan played the wife doing the dishes. Reed also had supporting roles on Good Times & The Secrets of Isis.
