Save some money and reuse

Save your wallet and be environmentally friendly at the same time.?  Do you have an empty or almost empty foam soap pump?  Did you know that you can refill all of them, even the dishwash soap that states it can't be refilled?  To refill these pumps, you need only three things...

Empty foam pump
Liquid soap  (hand, dish, or shampoo)
Water

I always buy bargain size soap bottles for my refill.  This bottle can easily last for months.  For a standard foam pump you add about 3 tablespoons.  I just pour the soap into the foam pump for 3 seconds, this should get you the correct amount.  Then add water to about 3/4 full or 1.5 inches from the top.  If you have a larger foam pump similar to the dishwash pumps, just add about 5 tablespoons instead of 3.  Fill the bottle up with water to the fill line or 2 inches from the top.  Swirl the bottle gently so that bubbles aren't made.  Screw the lid on and pump a few times until the soap begins dispensing.  Enjoy! Pin It Now!
