Homeowners often reach for dish soap to clean their pots and pans, but there are a variety of other ways to use dish soap throughout the house! The power of dish detergent makes it incredibly useful for scrubbing dinner plates, but it’s also an excellent solution for cleaning patio furniture, hairbrushes, and more! Discover five incredible household uses for dish soap with tips from Misty Clean!
Spot-Treat Fabrics
Did you notice a stain on your shirt collar after hosting a dinner party? Rub a small amount of dish soap into the stain and rinse with cold water! Dish detergent is gentle enough to treat several types of fabrics. If the stain has set, cover it with dish soap and let it rest for five to ten minutes before scrubbing it with a toothbrush.
Clean the Bathroom Floors
Have you ever wanted to clean the bathroom floors only to discover that you’re out of cleaner! Grab a bucket, fill it with warm water, and add two tablespoons of dish detergent. You can use this solution on vinyl and tile flooring, but experts suggest to avoid using it to clean hardwood floors.
Reduce Fruit Flies
Has a swarm of fruit flies invaded your kitchen? Fill a bowl with vinegar and add two to three drops of dish detergent. The vinegar attracts the flies, and the soap keeps them from flying away!
Clean Kitchen Cabinets
The doors and handles on your kitchen cabinets can become greasy over time, especially if you love to cook! Add a few drops of dish soap to a spray bottle and fill it with warm water. Spray the cabinets, and wipe them down with a wet towel! Dry the cabinets with a microfiber towel. You cannot clean every type of kitchen cabinet with dish soap, so read the manufacturer’s cleaning suggestions before you begin.
Remove Carpet Stains
Did your child spill their grape juice on the new carpet? No problem! Mix one tablespoon of dish liquid with two cups of water. Dip a clean cloth into the solution and use it to blot the carpet stain. Repeat until the stain disappears!
