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”.

That’s very interesting Diane! You are a walking kitchen encyclopedia 😀.
Hahaha just old with lots of experience! 🤣
That’s a great tip to use!
Thank you Paul, it seems so silly but I don’t like leaving suds in the sink and the rubbing alcohol instantly removes them. Lol
What a clever idea!!
Thanks Michelle!
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
That’s true for California too @Sir Kevin
Love that Kevin!

Thanks for this tip!
You’re welcome!
Love the story.
Thank you Bernadette 🥰
Thak you Ned!
Lol 😂
Thank you so much!
You should trademark “Suds Be Gone.” Great tip!
That’s funny you say that, I always told them I was going to do that years ago. Lol
You still should!
Who knew?
I did! 🤣😂🤣
Great trick! I will have to get a spray bottle for under my kitchen sink. Thanks, Diane.
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
Love this very helpful hint and I am going to try it out on my bathroom sinks!
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.
What a good trick to know. Thanks!
You’re welcome Linda!
Wow! Did not know that! Can you give me a hint for “Dirty Dishes Be Gone?” 😁
I call it my husband! 🤣😂🤣
😂😂😂
Great method Diane – thanks for the tip 🙂
You’re welcome June!
Wow – that is a great tip. For me, I have stainless steel double kitchen sinks and the soap eventually becomes a soap scum and looks bad.
Give it a try, it’s actually fun to watch the bubbles disappear instantly. Lol
Smart poison ivy advice too!
It’s only failed me once!
Another great tip, Diane.
Thank you Carla!
