The Bath and Body Works goes in the kitchen which is used mostly by Mom!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04063880156088134627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445393245406196085.post-16641727064666264942009-10-09T14:09:26.567-04:002009-10-09T14:09:26.567-04:00I actually use cheap shampoo as hand soap!

It works great for hand soap, though.Jodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030290802801132252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445393245406196085.post-55912670164108634452009-10-09T07:56:02.161-04:002009-10-09T07:56:02.161-04:00I buy a big bottle of dish soap and put it in a gl...I buy a big bottle of dish soap and put it in a glass veggie oil dispenser (it looks nicer in the adults bathroom then a pump) I feel it about a quarter of the way with dish soap and the rest with water. Shake it up a little and it lasts forever. You don't need as much to clean your hands because even with the water added in it it's still very concentrated.sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01113980778415083652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445393245406196085.post-42135912971792795572009-10-09T00:41:15.069-04:002009-10-09T00:41:15.069-04:00I always run to the Dollar Store and purchase the ...I always run to the Dollar Store and purchase the big bottles of shower gel, cheap, and easy. They recently just had some on clearance at mine for .50 so even better.<br /><br />Dishsoap eats the heck out of my hands, i have tried so many brands and all do it, but i still use that in the kitchen;pKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06326974096540420504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445393245406196085.post-67169068003631080652009-10-08T22:51:19.982-04:002009-10-08T22:51:19.982-04:00Here is how you can make your own foaming soap.

Most hand soaps actually make my hands break out in a rash. I am able to use a couple of different dishsoaps without that problem. I love using dish soap to wash my glasses in the morning!The Prudent Homemakerhttp://www.theprudenthomemaker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-445393245406196085.post-35781017408530947802009-10-08T22:24:19.792-04:002009-10-08T22:24:19.792-04:00I just started refilling my foamy handsoaps.

Then I filled it up the rest of the way with water, not all the way to the top. Stirred it around (I suggest a coffee straw because a spoon is too big for the bottle neck) being careful not to make it suds up too much. Then I had a great smelling foamy soap. My family didn't even notice. I used Avon shower gel but you could probably use almost anything.Rachel Bostwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17915066381658225713noreply@blogger.com
