How to Make Dishwashing Liquid Do More than Just the Dishes

Did you know you don’t just have to wash the dishes and wipe the counters with dishwashing liquid? Here are three tips for using MAQ Dishwashing Liquid, with its grease-beating formula, around the house to make your life easier.

1. Stains on clothing

Did you know you can use dishwashing liquid as a stain remover on fabric? Because MAQ Dishwashing Liquid is made specifically to break down even stubborn grease with its lemon-rich formula, it can be used very effectively for removing fatty stains on fabric. (First, test a small, inconspicuous spot on the garment to make sure that the colour won’t run.)

For a very tough stain, place a spot of undiluted MAQ Dishwashing Liquid on the stain, rub it in slightly, and let it sit for a few minutes before washing normally. You can also soak

the garment in a solution of dishwashing liquid and water before washing normally.

2. A brilliant shine

Out of window cleaner? Don’t run to the shop and buy another bottle – simply use a few drops of MAQ Dishwashing Liquid in a bucket of water. You can even fill a spray bottle with the cleaning solution and sprits it onto the glass as you would normally do. All that is left to do is to dry the windows with newspaper, using circular movements. Your windows will be left brilliantly clean and streak-free thanks to MAQ Dishwashing Liquid’s superior cleaning power.

3. Clean your make-up brushes

Mix a few drops of MAQ Dishwashing Liquid in 2 litres of warm water. Use this solution to wash your makeup brushes. MAQ’s grease-beating solution will cut through the oils and silicon found in many make-up formulas. Rinse the brushes well and leave to dry.
