We love being able to get the most out of all of our purchases – and that includes dish soap! Sure, washing the dishes is great, but did you know that Dawn dish soap can do so much more? From washing tools to deicing the driveway, there are so many ways to use dish soap. Keep reading to see all of the ways you can use Dawn dish soap around the house!

First up, Dawn is the perfect ingredient for a reusable ice pack. Simply pour some soap in a ziplock bag, making sure to get as much air out as possible, and stick it in the freezer. If you want to take it the extra mile, you can sew a little fabric cover so you can just pop it out of the freezer and use it on sore and aching muscles!

No need to spend money on deicers or salt for your driveway and sidewalk – make your own with dish soap! Simply mix 2 cups water, 1 cup rubbing alcohol and 1/4 cup dish soap. Mix together and pour on the slick spots in your driveway and let the deicer do its work!

Do you have grease and oil stains on your driveway or in your garage? We’ve got the perfect solution! Dawn works well on those nasty grease stains on your dishes, and it can do the same for your driveway and garage. Just pour some dish soap on the stain, let sit for 15 minutes, scrub with a brush making sure to get into the nooks and crannies, and then wash it all away!
