5 amazing uses for Dawn Soap – you won’t know all of them I guarantee!

1 – Protect Your Food
By transforming Dawn soap into a bug-killing spray, you can easily mist the liquid over the plants in your survival garden to protect your food from bugs. To do this, simply combine 2 tsp of Dawn dish liquid with 1 qt water into a spray bottle (often found in the cleaning supplies section of your grocery store).
This liquid will not harm you or your plants, but the soap will leave a residue on the plants that bugs hate. Make sure to always wash your produce well before eating.
2 – Kill The Bugs
Spiders, wasps, flies, and ants are all tiny killers – killers of your food, killers of your patience, and killers of your sanity. These buggers can make it a real pain to do your daily tasks; and, in a survival situation, it only gets worse (believe me). Get rid of them by spraying them with the spray solution I described in #1.
Be sure to spray these bugs multiple times in a row; although it may take longer for them to die than with the use of brand-name bug killers, it will surely do the trick.
Note: For ant removal, you can also use this solution to wipe down your counters and other surfaces with. The soap will leave a residue that ants can’t stand, and will greatly reduce the amount you find crawling around.
3 – See Clearly
Shooting in the hot sun can make you sweat profusely, and the humidity can quickly fog up your sunglasses and/or normal eyeglasses, rendering your eyesight almost useless.
Fix the issue with a little Dawn dish soap. Simply dab a little of the soap onto your fingertips, and then rub it over the lenses of your glasses. Wipe off the lenses with a clean towel/rag/shirt, and, they’ll be good as new.
Better yet, not only will this method clean your glasses, but the soap residue left on your glasses will help prevent them from becoming fogged up again. This is especially useful in high humidity weather, or when opening up the oven/dishwasher after it’s been running.
4 – Remove Stains
If you got a little too excited about eating dinner while bugging in (and now the food is all over your clothing), you can simply pour a little Dawn dish soap onto the stain, and then take an old toothbrush and scrub the stain with it. Throw the garment in the laundry, and you’ll be good to go.
Note: In a bug-out situation, you probably won’t have access to a washing machine. Luckily, we’ve got multiple ways to help you do laundry off-grid. Check them out here.
5 – Unclog Your Toilet
Toilets can be some of your greatest assets while bugging in; however, if they get clogged, it can create a real hassle for you and your family.
To unclog them, simply pour one cup of Dawn dish soap into the toilet, and leave it for 10-15 minutes. When the time is up, add a bucket of hot water to the bowl, and your toilet should flush and be good to go… Read More
