Stop buying the expensive kid's foaming soap refills. (and please stop buying more bottles of soap when you run out, it's all about re-using!) Instead, just buy regular, good old-fashioned, off brand, anti-bacterial hand soap, add the soap to the "Kan-doo" style soap dispensers, fill about a quarter of the way up and then fill with water. Push the pump and out comes the foaming soap!
It's not the soap that creates the foam, it's the type of pump you have, an easy way to save money!!
WORKS FOR ME!
For me WFMW, go here!
What a clever idea!

Why do kids like the foaming soap so much? My boy always wants to use my foaming dish soap to wash his hands. I'll have to try making him a batch your way.

I've been doing this since I figured it out by accident with the first bottle I bought.. So saves money cause you know the kids like the foam!!
God bless,

I love this tip, but have had problem executing it. Seems like as soon as I refill a bottle, it stops foaming, or leaks all over the place. Maybe I'm just not getting the soap/water ratio right.

You are soooooooooo smart. That's a great idea!

That's it. Beth, you're a goddess.
I'm SO trying this tonight. Could the Kandoo/Cleanteam products be any more of a rip-off?

Great idea! I would have never thought about that.

You genius you!

I use a 4-1 ratio when I fill mine up!
Posted by: Kasi | April 28, 2007 at 08:50 AM
sorry, that's 4 parts water to 1 part soap
