Did You Know – Soap Suds
I can remember my Grandmother asking me what temperature the water should be, hot or cold, to dissolve the leftover dish soap suds that were left in the sink when I finished her dishes.
I told her cold and stood there spraying the cold water over the suds until they got smaller and finally went down the drain.
Just by luck, a few years later, I accidentally figured out an immediate way to eliminate the suds and to help sanitize the sink at the same time.
I sprayed the top of the sink with my magic potion. As you can see the suds disappeared and the rest are still there.
How did I do this? I poured rubbing alcohol into a spray bottle and sprayed it on the suds. It eliminates the suds instantly!
We have had a large spray bottle filled with RUBBING ALCOHOL under our kitchen sink for years. When my kids were little I named it “Suds Be Gone”.

Here in Latvia women use Vodka to easy pain while the men drink it to cause pain . In England never heard on rubbing alcohol .Only used on horses, as a boy, as Equine Spirit

Thank you Kellye. It’s cheaper to spray the counter with rubbing alcohol to sanitize than to buy the sanitizing wipes. It’s actually fun spraying away the suds. Lol

That is where I first discovered it worked. Whenever I get into poison ivy, I wash my hands and arms really well causing a lot of suds. Then I spray rubbing alcohol all over my hands and arms to allow the oil to be wiped off with paper towel. I rarely get poison ivy this way. Anyhow, the first time I sprayed the rubbing alcohol, it fell on the suds and and they disintegrated.
