How to use dishwashing detergent in everyday life

Dishwashing detergent is a household staple that simplifies the lives of many households. However, most people may not realize that this versatile cleaning product has at least three other uses. UAportal tells you about them.

Flower care and weed control

Mix one tablespoon of dishwashing detergent with one cup of salt and 4.5 liters of vinegar. After mixing, pour the mixture into a spray bottle and apply it directly to the weeds.

Cold compress

For minor household injuries and bruises, dishwashing detergent can be turned into a handy cold compress. Pour it into a resealable bag, put it in the freezer and let it freeze. The result is a great cold compress that can relieve pain and reduce swelling when applied to injuries.

Annoying pests

To get rid of midges, you can prepare a simple but effective trap. Take half a cup of white or apple cider vinegar and add 6-8 drops of dishwashing detergent.

Then add warm water to form a thick foam. Midges will flock to the spicy smell and stay trapped.
