Here’s how to make foaming hand soap!<\/em><\/p>\n Here’s a household money-saving tip<\/a> that’s easy to do!<\/p>\n If you buy foaming hand soaps<\/a>, consider saving those soap containers (or buy a foaming soap dispenser on Amazon<\/a>) and use them to easily make your own foaming hand soap! It’s as simple as combining liquid soap and water together – that’s it.<\/p>\n What an easy way to save money and it’s also better for the environment too since you’re reusing plastic containers instead of throwing them away!<\/p>\n With so much focus on handwashing over the last couple of years, this idea makes so much sense and can save you cents too. I am personally so impressed with how well this simple DIY works and the foaming soap it produces! <\/em><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t 1<\/span><\/p>\n Pour soap in an\u00a0empty foaming soap container\u00a0about 1\/4 of the way full.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 2<\/span><\/p>\n Add water but be sure to leave a little room at the top \u2013 about an inch. Add a few drops of tea tree oil (optional).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 3<\/span><\/p>\n Screw foaming spout back on, shake\u00a0lightly to combine water and soap,\u00a0and you\u2019re all set.\u00a0That\u2019s it!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n “I’ve been using this recipe for a long time! My daughter’s hands crack to the point of bleeding with regular soap, since we have switched to homemade foaming soap it had become much less of an issue. We use peppermint Bronner’s<\/a>. It makes your hands feel tingly after washing.” – Chantel<\/em><\/p>\n “I do the same but often use the Bath and Body Works shower gel. Works great and smells wonderful. I have added tea tree oil<\/a> as well.” – Natasha C. <\/em><\/p>\n “I put a few clear glass marbles<\/a> in the bottom of mine. It helps mix the ingredients with a quick shake and also acts as a weight to keep an almost empty bottle from flying off the counter if you hit the dispenser too fast or off-center.” – Karen<\/em><\/p>\n “I do this in a B&BW foaming soap container and add several drops of lemon essential oil<\/a> and a drop of yellow food coloring – it looks and smells like the lemons on the bottle.”<\/em> – Karissa<\/p>\n “I have been doing this for years with Method Hand Soap<\/a>. I mix it with the water in the Method foaming containers. Works great.” – Lori<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Here’s how to make your own natural cleaning spray!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here’s how to make foaming hand soap!
