Have you ever heard of frozen dishwashing detergent? This may seem unusual, but it is very useful.
All you need to do is pour some dishwashing liquid into a resealable plastic bag, or even fill it halfway and then put it in the freezer.
Another method: You can also pour the dishwashing liquid into ice cube trays or silicone muffin tins and place them in the freezer.
But by the way, what is the purpose of this trick? The main idea is to always have it at hand whenever you want. Many people didn’t know it until now, but dishwashing liquid is versatile enough to serve a variety of purposes around the house: it will go a long way in cleaning up stubborn messes nestled in the oven or on a greasy grill. Do you have burnt pots or pans? This detergent will be especially suitable to solve the problem. It can remove even dry food residue and all stubborn grease. And best of all, being smooth, it won’t damage the surface of your utensils.
So instead of using your daily bottle near the sink just for washing, you’ll have your own stash in the freezer. There is also no need to buy additional cleaning products. And, in case you run out of detergent, it’s helpful to take these molds out of the freezer. In fact, you can use them on the go, as soon as you need them to clean the toilet, remove a garment, or even keep bugs away.

Its great advantage is that it is an excellent alternative to other aggressive cleaners and can be used for various purposes.
- Dishwasher detergent is even effective at removing tough stains from clothes. Simply pour a little on the stained area and rub in gently.

These fabrics can be easily damaged by the action of laundry detergent, which often has a strong chemical composition. So you can swap it out from time to time for dishwashing detergent: just dissolve about 1 tablespoon in 2-3 cups of warm water. Carefully dab the stain with a clean cloth dipped in the mixture. Repeat this step until the stain is completely gone.
