Your windows
While you could wash your windows with dish soap, it’s not recommended to do so in excess. A couple of drops should do the trick, mixed in a bucket of water.
Why? Because too much soap will leave a rather messy residue unless you take a wet squeegee to rinse it off afterward. Besides, on hot, sunny days, the water might evaporate faster than the soap dries, and that’s why you should use rubbing alcohol and vinegar instead.
Your toilet
When we say that we should keep the dish soap out of the toilet, this doesn’t have anything to do with your toilet bowl. If you’re simply out of toilet cleaner, grease-fighting dish soap might be the ideal solution.
Some think that using it in your toilet could make nothing but a bubbly mess, while others swear that dish soap in your toilet could rapidly clear out clogs.
However, that’s not why we put toilets on our list. There is one specific area of your toilet where you shouldn’t put dish soap, and that’s the cistern, meaning your toilet’s tank.
The rubber and plastic parts in your tank can be easily damaged over time by dish soap. Even if it might seem like an easy and rapid way to keep your toilet clean and smelling fresh, it would be much more recommended to buy products that are specifically designed for your toilet tank, so you won’t have problems down the road.
