Automotive tools tend to get really dirty and greasy. You may use this same dawn dish soap to give your tools a good cleaning. In a bucket with warm water, pour a small amount of dawn into. Place your tools in the bucket and leave for about 30 minutes. You may then rinse and dry them well to prevent them from rusting again.

12. Toilet Unclogger
If your toilet is clogged, you won’t have to get an expensive de-clogger. Pour a cup of dawn dish soap into the toilet bowl and let it sit there for about 15 minutes. Hold a bucket of hot water a few feet above the toilet seat and pour it into the toilet bowl. This tip should surely do the trick.
13. Eye Glasses Cleaner
With a clean cloth rub a small amount of dawn dish soap onto the glasses, and wipe it clean with a microfiber cloth. Never use rough fabrics or paper towels to clean your glasses. These items might scratch your glasses, thus making the situation worse.

In a big garbage bag, put about a gallon of water and 1 cup of dawn dish soap into it. Place your cooled greasy grill racks into it and sealed tight. Leave overnight, and the next morning, use a wire brush to scrub your grill down. Give the grill racks a thorough rinse, and they will be so clean again.
15. Concrete De-Icer
In a bucket, pour a gallon of water, 4 tablespoons of rubbing alcohol and 4 tablespoons of dawn dish soap. Mix thoroughly and pour the mixture over the frozen concrete driveway. This method is much better for your concrete than using the salt.
