Unusual use of dishes - 12 best tips

The usual dishwashing liquid that every housewife has is fraught with many possibilities.Folk wisdom found him interesting ways to apply in the most unexpected areas!

Weed control

Instead of toxic and expensive herbicides, it is better to use this recipe:

• 1 tbsp. l any dishwashing liquid;
• 1 cup of salt;
• 4.5 liters of 7% or 9% vinegar.

Pour the resulting mixture into a spray bottle and spray the weeds. Salt and vinegar dry the leaves, and the soap base does not allow the product to slide down the surface. In this way, it is good to get rid of grass along garden paths.

Protect garden plants from getting the product, otherwise they will also suffer.

Replacing repellent

The recipe is especially relevant in the heat when flocks of flying insects start attacking houses, apartments and summer cottages.

You can put a simple trap on them:

• take any glass;
• fill half the container with apple cider vinegar;
• drip a little dishwashing liquid;
• add warm water to the top.

A thick foam with a sweet smell should appear on top, which will attract insects. They will definitely check that in a glass, and get bogged down in a soapy mixture.

We process indoor plants from pests

It is not necessary to run to a specialized store for an insecticide. Domestic plants can be eliminated from aphids, ticks and whiteflies by a simple and effective means:

Ants are able to breed with incredible speed and come to apartments, houses and country houses. It is very difficult to get them out; they remember the food paths well, so I recommend trying a very good recipe for weaning uninvited guests from your home:

• a piece of table vinegar;
• a couple of drops of dishwashing liquid;
• sprayed on the doorsteps of the house, along paths, in clusters of ants.

After a while, the insects will leave, unable to withstand the caustic neighborhood.
