What a GOODe Tip!

I am SOOOO excited! I just tried making Infarrantly Creative’s Homemade FOAMING Hand Soap and it was super easy.

So, I ended up fillin’ up this bottle for PENNIES this evening 😉
I started with regular hand soap in my favorite scent… A whole 98 cents worth.
Then I had to add 5(to 6) parts water to 1 part soap…
I am so NOT one of those people who figures this stuff in my head.
So, I grabbed a cheat sheet 😉 My cookbook…shhh! Lookie there– a conversion chart.
I decided to round up my 7.5 oz. of soap to 8 oz. and that meant I needed 5 cups of water.
So I poured my water into a clean milk jug. I started with the water because I didn’t want it getting all sudsy.
Then I poured in the smelly melon GOODEness.
Gave ‘er a swirl
And filled up my appropriately labeled melon soap dispenser. I think I paid $2.97 for the original bottle. This refill cost me 16 cents to make.
BUT… does it work as GOODe as the original?
You betcha!
Better even. By making it 5 parts water (vs. 6 parts) –a tip by the author– it is a tiny bit thicker and moisturizes better 😉
What a fantastic tip!

    And if you bought your melon soap in bulk? Think of the savings!

    Do you need to use the foaming soap container/bottle, or will another type work, too?

      You have to use a foaming soap bottle so it will pump the air into it.

    […] Truth be told, It never occurred to me to bring a batch of Shawn’s Laundry Soap or Allison’s Reusable Dryer Sheets or Beckie’s Liquid Foaming Hand Soap. […]
