| Making your own foaming hand soap is easy! |
I bought a bottle of foaming
hand soap at the store, and when the bottle was empty, I wondered what I should
fill it with. Straight liquid soap clogged the pump. So I began fiddling with
different solutions to figure out the proper dilution that would allow the pump
to properly aerate. What I discovered was that a 20% solution worked best.
FOAMING HAND SOAP
1 part liquid soap
4 parts water
Measure out the soap and the
water into a bowl or drinking glass. Work gently to dilute the liquid soap or
you’ll end up with a bunch of bubbles. You want to avoid bubbles. You just want
to thin out the soap, so stir gently. Refill your dispenser with the diluted
solution, and enjoy the foam!
If your pump becomes clogged,
simply remove it from the bottle and rinse it under running water, pumping to
remove the thick soap inside.
Any type of liquid soap will
work: body soap for showers, dish soap for dishes, shampoo, hand soap, etc.

My son loves the foamy hand washes, but I prefer the thick liquid ones. If I tell me you can make it at home, I will be wiping a mess this afternoon!
ReplyDeleteThank you Donna. We love using the foaming hand soaps.
ReplyDeleteDonna, I did the same thing you did. I didn't know if it would work, but as you found out it did.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea - I always hate throwing those dispensers out and now I don't have to!
ReplyDeleteI have done this. I just mix it right in the bottle though. Pour in the soap add cool water put the lid back on and turn the bottle over and over till it is all mixed up. I haven't tried adding scents though. I am too chicken to do that. :D
