Dish Soap is a base which breaks through a lot of germs and grease. Most everyone already has this in your home already - now just start using it to clean!

1st Counters & Tables


Wipe off your counters with a wash cloth and water.  This first step is to get the worst up - crumbs, spills, grease pools, etc.  After that is complete, make a sink of dish soap (like Dawn) and hot water.  Use a clean and new wash cloth, dip in the clean soapy water, and wipe off all our counters and table.  The key to streak free counters is the clean wash cloth with the clean soapy water - works every time!
Your Refrigerator & Freezer


Go through your refrigerator & freezer and get rid of anything you don't use, that's expired, etc.  Take the shelves and drawers out and wash them in a sink full of clean soapy (dish soap) and water.
With a clean wash cloth wash all the walls and anything that cannot be removed to be washed inside the refrigerator and freezer.
Oven Racks


Place a towel in the bottom of your bath tub to protect your tub.  Lay your oven racks on top of the towel.  Add 1/2 cup dish soap (like Dawn) and fill the tub with hot water just until it covers the oven racks.  Let them soak for 8 hours.  The dish soap is cutting through all that grease.
After they have soaked, scrub with a piece of tin foil, scrub pad, or toothbrush and the grease should just wipe right off.  Rinse and put back in your oven.  They'll look like brand new!

    It’s got to be Dawn.

    I use dawn all the time for my cleaning projects, but I also add vinegar and water. Works wonders!!
