I love foaming hand soap. I really love foaming antibacterial hand soap in the kitchen.
It’s become obvious that I love it, because I keep going through it like crazy.
After picking up another bottle at the store, it occurred to me that I spent a lot of money on foaming antibacterial hand soap. Which, of course, made me wonder if I couldn’t make my own.
A little bit of googling and I had my answer – Yes I can make my own and it’s shockingly cheap and easy to do it.
You only need an empty foaming hand soap container:
And a bottle of standard liquid hand soap. I made sure to purchase antibacterial. Because I like it…especially in the kitchen!
Measure 1.5 tablespoons of soap and pour it into the empty container.
Add tap water. Make sure to leave about 1/2 inch of free space in the container to allow for the pump mechanism.
Replace the pump, give the bottle a good shake to mix everything, then pump.
Voila! Foaming hand soap – for a fraction of the cost.
Why is foaming soap better than non-foaming soap?
It's not better than regular-I just prefer the consistency. It stays in the hand instead of running into the sink. Nice when I have icky sticky fingers.
This is pretty nifty!!
