No dishwasher? No problem.
Nellie's Dish Cubes may be designed for the dispenser drawer, but that doesn’t mean they’re off-limits if you wash everything by hand. Because they’re concentrated and powerful on grease, Dish Cubes can double as a multi-purpose cleaning solution when dissolved properly.
Here’s the thing: Dish Cubes aren’t magic because of the appliance. They’re magic because of the formula. And that grease-fighting, grime-lifting power works beautifully, even by hand.
Let’s talk about how.
First Things First: Make the Solution
Dish Cubes are concentrated. Like, really concentrated. So making a solution by fully dissolving a cube in water is step one!
- Fill a sink, bowl, or bucket with very warm to hot water.
- Drop in one Dish Cube.
- Let it dissolve completely (give it a little stir if you're impatient).
- Clean using a sponge or Swedish Dishcloth.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
What you’ve just made is a powerful, grease-cutting cleaning solution! Now let’s put it to work.
Yes, You Can Hand-Wash Dishes With It
Out of liquid dish soap? Trying to simplify your cleaning stash? Just curious?
A dissolved Dish Cube works surprisingly well for hand-washing dishes, especially the tough stuff.
We’re talking:
- Greasy pots
- Roasting pans
-
Containers with that "why is this still oily?" film
Because dishwasher detergent is designed to break down baked-on food and grease, it’s excellent at cutting through heavy kitchen messes. Just remember: always rinse well.
Degrease Kitchen Cabinets (You Know They Need It)
Kitchen cabinets collect a fine layer of invisible grease over time, especially near the stove. You don’t notice it until you wipe it… and then you can’t unsee it.
Dip a cloth into your dissolved solution and gently wipe down cabinet doors, handles, and surrounding trim. Follow with a clean, damp cloth to finish the job.
It’s deeply satisfying (you’ve been warned).
Rescue Garbage & Recycling Bins
Garbage bins are one of those things we pretend not to notice. Until summer hits, of course.
Fill the bottom of the bin with hot water and add your dissolved cube. Let it sit for 10–20 minutes so the solution can break down grime and odors. Scrub, rinse thoroughly, and let dry.
It’s a small effort with a big payoff.
Tackle Greasy Range Hood Filters
If you’ve never cleaned your range hood filter… this is your sign.
Let it soak in a sink of hot water with your dissolved Dish Cube. Give it time to loosen built-up grease before rinsing or lightly scrubbing.
You’ll probably notice better airflow. And you’ll definitely notice less grease.
Why This Actually Works
Our Dish Cubes are formulated to:
- Break down grease
- Lift stuck-on food
- Rinse clean without leaving residue
So when you dissolve a cube properly, you’re essentially creating a powerful degreasing soak. No extra bottles. No unnecessary fillers. And definitely no plastic.
Just simple, effective cleaning, with or without the machine.
