Clean pans without scrapers
Dish soap instantly dissolves grease and is ideal for stubborn stains (like burnt pans).


Interestingly, frozen liquid is more effective and gently cleans dirt from dishes and prevents scratches on delicate surfaces. Here, you don’t even need metal scrapers or foam sponges.

To make cleaning easier and prevent the liquid cube from slipping out of your hands, it is best to wrap it in a paper towel or wear a latex glove.

Removing grease stains
Frozen detergents can easily remove grease stains from carpets, upholstery or clothing. Rub the stain thoroughly with an ice cube of detergent and then wash.


For cooling
Frozen dishwashing gel dissolves much more slowly than water. That’s why it’s ideal as a cooling agent. Simply place the frozen liquid between bottles or in a food bag that you’re carrying to keep them cool. This tip is especially relevant during the spring-summer season!
