Step 1: Select the dish soap. Choose a dish soap that effectively cuts through oil and grime. Choose a concentrated formula for best results. Step 2: Prepare the Ice Cube Tray. For this hack, make sure your ice cube pan is clean and dry. If it isn’t a silicone tray, lightly grease the sections with cooking oil to make it simpler to remove the frozen soap cubes afterward.

Step 3: Fill the tray with dish soap, then freeze it. Gently pour a little amount of dish soap into each compartment of the ice cube tray. Fill them roughly two-thirds full to allow for expansion when the soap freezes. Place the ice cube tray and dish soap in the freezer. Allow the soap to totally freeze, which typically takes a few hours or overnight.

Step 4: Apply the Frozen Cubes to Dirty or Grimy Areas Take one or more frozen soap cubes (loosen with warm water if necessary) and massage them immediately over the filthy areas to be cleaned. Check out the video above to see our favorite cleaning methods!

But, why frozen soap?! Why is frozen soap more effective than using a scrubber? According to our experience, the frozen soap creates a stronger, more solid instrument to attack your messes, as well as freezing the mess itself, making it easier to chip off and break away from the surface you’re cleaning.
