Super soap! 13 brilliant dish soap tricks for the home and garden

Dish soap is not only useful for washing those greasy dishes, pots, and pans. There are also countless other possible uses that most people have never even considered.

1. Make brown grass green again

For this you'll need to fill a bucket with about 2 cups of diet soda, a cup of corn syrup or sugar syrup, half a cup of mouthwash, and one cup of dish soap. Then fill the container the rest of the way with water. Sprinkle this mixture on your lawn every three weeks and watch your grass get greener and greener. We recommend using an ecological dish soap for this particular trick.

3. Wash your hair and repair damage from coloring 

Of course, dish soap is great at dissolving grease. Therefore, it makes a great addition to any shampoo. Add a few drops of soap into your shampoo bottle.  Rinsing your hair with water and a few drops of dish soap once a week is also a great way to treat hair damage from coloring.
