Freezer sponge, an alternative solution
Why do you need to put the cake tin in the freezer? Certainly not to get better results when washing dishes. In fact, for the intended use, it is advisable to use a new sponge. Even if it is new, it is advisable to wash it first to make it softer and at the same time to disinfect it properly. Once this is done, take an airtight food bag and place the cake inside, which you can then put in the freezer.
In a short time, depending on the cooling time of your appliance, you will have turned a simple cake into something really useful: a homemade “instant ice cream”, useful both for bruises and fever and for maintaining the temperature in the cooler.
This gives us a versatile and fully recyclable item. Unlike commercially available refreshing gels, the sponge can be thawed at any time for use in washing dishes or cleaning surfaces or tiles around the home. Furthermore, its small size makes it very convenient to store in the freezer without sacrificing space for food. And if we use the sponge with dish soap to wash dishes, why not keep it in the refrigerator?
Detergent in the freezer
Like a sponge, dishwashing liquid is also very useful when frozen. It can simply be placed in an airtight bag and then placed in the freezer to create an object very similar to sachets of cooling gel. What’s more, in this case, we have a useful product for various needs that has a significantly lower impact on the environment around us.
