Tipsy Tuesdays: Foaming Hand Soap

Welcome to the premier of Tipsy Tuesday. Da da-da da!

Yes it's exciting, thrilling stuff. I have a scrap paper pile full of these odds and ends, and they need a home and a purpose, so here they will be. On Tuesday's.

Why Tuesday's you ask? Well, because alliteration is fun, and these are tips. Okay then.

Yo (crunchy) Mama Tip #1: The Foaming Soap Float


This is something I figured out by accident, but it made so much sense I wondered why I hadn't thought of it sooner.

We use those foaming hand soap dispensers in my house. I have loved foaming soap from 'hello'. I don't know for sure if this is true, but I feel like we use less water while rinsing and also the kids make less mess when washing their hands on their own. Cool. Well, I accidently bought the wrong refill package and the soap was sputtering out of the dispenser. I had a big 'ole bag of the stuff that wasn't foaming. What to do?

Finally I remembered some old foaming dispensers my mom had way back when from some catalog-house party-product line. It was for dish washing soap and you put some in and added water. Duh. Water.

Seriously.

So I filled up the dispensers with a little bit of the soap and the rest with water and, TA DA, foaming soap refills. You can buy them already diluted... buy why? I googled  before posting and found this recipe. And a list of brilliant folks here who have already figured this on out. Again, duh.

Here is to cleaner hands and fatter wallets!
