Did you know?

Have you seen or used thos foaming hand soaps?

I like them. I prefer using them to regular hand soaps. It's fun to wash with foam. But the main reason I like them is that I feel more confident that when my kids wash their hands, they really get their hands clean. The foam gets on their hands and in between their fingers. They like to wash their hands themselves. This foaming soap helps them make a better job of it.

But did you know that what makes it foam is the bottle, and not the soap? The bottle has a special aerator that makes the soap foam. And the soap is actually just watered down regular hand soap. That means, you can recycle that bottle and buy regular hand soap, water it down about 50/50 and there you have it. Had I known this earlier, I would not have thrown all those bottles!!! Sheesh! And using watered down hand soap - it's genius! My refill bottle of hand soap will last me twice as long now!

Just thought I'd pass that nugget of cost-saving wisdom to you! LOL.
