Our sister Caxton publication, Essentials magazine, has these helpful tips to share:
Remove stains on clothing
You can use dishwashing liquid to remove stains on fabric. First, test a small, inconspicuous spot on the garment to make sure that it won’t damage the fabric or cause the colour to run. Squirt the liquidon the stain, rub it in slightly, and let it sit for a few minutes before washing normally.
Get shiny, streak-free windows

Use a few drops of dish liquid in a bucket of water, or fill a spray bottle with the cleaning solution and spritz it directly onto the glass. Dry the windows with newspaper, using circular movements.
Make a DIY ice pack
Mix 250ml dish liquid with 30ml rubbing alcohol. Pour the mixture into a sealable bag and place in the freezer. When the liquid has warmed up again, simply refreeze it.
Boost your mani or pedi
When it’s time to do your nails, pour a few drops of dish washing liquid into a bowl of warm water and mix. Soak your fingertips or toenails in the solution for a few minutes before rinsing and drying your hands or feet. The grease-fighting dish washing liquid will break down some of the oils on the nail, leaving a better surface for the nail polish to cling to, which will make your mani or pedi last longer.

Whack weeds
Dissolve a cup of salt in four cups of white vinegar, then add a teaspoon of dish washing liquid to the mixture. Pour the solution into a spray bottle and spray it on the weeds.
