Today I was getting ready to refill my foaming hand soap and decided to grab my cell phone, snap a few photos and show you how you can easily make your own!
I am a compulsive hand washer. I easily go through one bottle of hand soap a week in my kitchen…easily. I love Bath & Body Works. I love their foaming hand soaps. The problem for me, I go through my kitchen hand soap so fast and I hate when I run out. One day I decided to see if I could make my own using my empty foaming soap container. All I did was add a little liquid dish soap and water and shook it up…IT WORKED PERFECT! Now I never run out of hand soap. YAY! Oh, and I can wash my dishes too! Happy dance!
Here’s How To Make Your Own Foaming Hand Soap:
Making your own foaming hand soap is so simple. All you need is an empty foaming soap dispenser (I use Bath & Body Works), and a bottle of Liquid Dish Soap or Liquid Hand Soap – you can use any scent – I love lemon for the kitchen. Next, add 1 inch (or a little more if you like) of liquid dish soap to your container. Fill the remainder with water, shake it up and it’s ready to go!
{Grab an empty foaming dispenser & liquid dish or hand soap}
{fill dispenser with 1 inch of liquid soap}
{fill remainder with water}
{replace cap, shake and done!}
I’ve used the same dispenser for almost a year. I never run out. I can wash my hands and my dishes! Saves me time and money! When it gets grubby, I’ll just grab a new one from Bath & Body Works.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Cheers!
LOVE this idea! I bought 2 foaming hand soaps from the dollar store, and was wondering how to refill them after they were done – foaming hand soap refills are sooo expensive! I used this method (with soap from a 2L bottle of dish soap that I bought on sale for $2) and it worked PERFECTLY! What a great way to save and still have a luxurious foaming hand soap 🙂
Or…. you can leave 1/3 of the original soap liquid pour out the rest in an empty water bottle. Fill the soap dispenser with water and it still foams the same and continues smelling the same too. And every time I run out I get more soap from that I had emptied out and add more water. One original foam soap = to me 4 refills.
Do you know, and I kid you not, that you can take a B&BW foam soap and divided into 2 other empty B&BW soap bottles ( so 3 bottles in all), fill the remaining amount with water. It cleans just as well, foams is just as well, and smells just as well as the original! Try it
So you're actually getting more soap by using the nonfoaming kind to make this!😊 great savings!
