DIY Bubbles

Believe it or not, one of the more interesting uses for Dawn will have your kids bubbling with delight. Namely, the liquid soap can be used to make homemade bubbles. Bubbles.org (yes, it exists) created this handy recipe- “Mix together 1/2 cup Ultra Dawn soap, 1/2 gallon of warm water, and 1 tablespoon glycerin, which should be available at any drug store. (White Karo syrup works in place of glycerin, if you have that on hand!) Stir gently. Skim the foam off the top of the solution, as too much foam will break down the bubbles. Dip your bubble wand and get ready for some good, clean fun!”

Unclog Toilets

No, we’re not kidding. If your toilet is clogged, pour about 1/2 cup of Dawn in, and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Then, flush it down with a bucket of hot water. Your pipes should be free and clear from then on.
