Making Liquid Soap Last Longer...
(Personal Photo)
I have an amazing BFF, who's mom gifted me the greatest smelling hand soap EVER (Caldrea - Lavender Pine) back in 2006/2007! It's been 6-7 years since I've owned another bottle of this sweet smelling liquid... so I want to make it last!
Since owning this product, I've grown to love expensive hand soaps*... but I don't have the budget for them. Yeah... totally blows.
* Expensive to me = anything over the $2 range.
So when I saw that Caldrea was selling their Lavender Pine on Birchbox.com - I snatched it up for FREE using my BB points.
At the writing of this post, the husband and I have torn through about 1/4 of the product... it makes me sad every time I look at the liquid getting smaller and smaller. So last night, I goolged, "How to Make Liquid Hand Soap Last Longer" and came a crossed this amazing website, The Coupon Junkie, with the how-to!
Items you'll need:
- Liquid hand soap (as the Coupon Junkie states, the clear liquid works way better).
- Empty foam producing bottle.
- Water.
Optional items:
- Goo Gone (to take off the label).
- Rag - to wipe the Goo Gone.
Steps:
- Rinse out the left over bottle/spout really well.
- Add 1 inch of the liquid hand soap to the bottle of the bottle.
- Fill the remaining space with water.
- Put lid back on.
- Turn the bottle from side to side and upside down to dispurse the liquid (DO NOT SHAKE).
- Place near a sink and let the hand washing begin! :)
I've only done the Caldrea soap this morning... and should be getting ready to head out the door! But when I get home, I'm going to try a crack at the new scent that I picked up from Bath and Body Works (Fresh Sparkling Snow)... It's not a 'clear' liquid but it's not a milky haze either... so I'm going to give it a shot and see what happens!!!
