Children's Foamy Soap Dispensers

Arlyb · **Posted: 08-09-2008 , 04:14 PM** #1

My kids love to use the very expensive foamy soap dispensers. I've used the one container over and over again - all you do is mix up a weak solution of liquid soap or washup liquid (approx 1tsp soap per cup of water) and put it in the empty dispenser. There's nothing special about the soap they use, the mechanism inside the dispenser is what makes the soap foamy!

Excellent tip, I never realised that it was just the container that made it so lovely and foamy!!

Similarly if you use the same product for cleaning the floor and the benches, (the floor product is the same but more concentrated eg dettol 4 in 1) and you buy them separately, you can just buy the floor version and dilute it in the container you already have! just make sure you stick to the instructions when you are diluting. Its way cheaper and reuses the spray bottle too...
