WFMW: Foamy Dish Soap
I am in love with foaming dish soap, but I absolutely hate paying all that money for something that is essentially watered down soap in a really funky dispenser…instead I have learned how to make my own.
We had a foam dispenser from one of the kids’ foaming handsoaps
I filled it almost all the way with water
Then added plain old dish soap (Palmolive here…usually I use Dawn…but had to go with whats on sale)
Shake it up a bit to mix it and……voila….foaming soap
Doing this saves us so much…I think I have to buy soap once every six months if that often.
If you do try this…it can take a couple tries to get the combo right, and different soaps mix a little differently, but its pretty easy and when you consider how much you spend on the foaming soap when it is mostly water it is so worth the time and energy (what little energy it takes)
I have an over-abundance of body wash gel. I use that to refill the foaming soap dispensers.
