Liquid dish soap can do so much more than just clean your dishes! You probably know that animal rescue organizations use Dawn dish soap to remove hazardous oil from animals. But did you know that you can also use liquid dish soap for the following 16 reasons?!

1. Unclog A Toilet

Dawn dish soap will break down oils and other solutions causing a clog. Just squirt some dish soap in the toilet bowl, pour in some warm water, and either plunge or flush.

2. Kills Fleas

If you suspect your furry friend has fleas, bathe them with lukewarm water and Dawn dish soap!

3. Protect Houseplants

To protect your houseplants from insects, add a drop of dish soap and water to a spray bottle. Spritz the plants with the solution.

4. Preserve Paintbrushes

Once you’ve cleaned and rinsed your paintbrushes, apply a small amount of dish soap to the bristles. It will keep them moisturized and prevent them from breaking.

5. Soften Your Cuticles

To soften your cuticles without paying for an expensive manicure, soak your fingers in warm water with a few drops of dish soap.

6. Remove Clothing Stains

Mix together two tablespoons of dish soap, two tablespoons of distilled vinegar, and two cups of warm water. Apply the solution to the stain, let it sit for about 20 minutes, then wash as you normally would.
