Many experienced housewives of the past were forced to look after their homes in very difficult conditions.

For example, I often had to wash dishes not only without specially designed products, but even without hot water.

However, the plates always sparkled and squeaked with cleanliness.

What tricks did grandmothers know?

Ash

This method was used by village women, since they could not refuse other available means at hand. Today, this method can be used, for example, at the dacha.

You need to wet the dishes, pour ash over them and start processing. The fat will disappear very quickly.

Laundry soap

This is a universal assistant for any experienced housewife, who can always come to the rescue. If your water is turned off and you don't have a quality gel at hand, then just soap the sponge well.

The result will please you. This method is also good because it allows you to wash greasy dishes in the safest way possible.

Mustard and soda

Both products are good and high-quality options. Therefore, they can be safely used instead of dishwashing gel.
