A couple of months ago I bought some of these foaming soap dispensers from Amazon. I got them from Amazon because 1) I heart having things delivered. and 2) It was a better deal on that brand than I could find locally. The product arrived and I was pleased. Then I got to thinking about replacements and how much plastic I would be contributing to eternity. I also realized that the brand I’d chosen was not as wholesome as I’d thought.
~ Insert bright idea here ~
What if I made my own refill using truly organic ingredients? Hmmm…. what if ….?
So I did and now you can too.
Start with a container of Dr. Bronner’s in your choice of scents … ignore the crazy label.
Find an empty foaming soap dispenser. Be sure the lid will come off as not all of them do.
Pull out a large measuring cup.
The ratio you are going for is 4:1. So figure out how much total liquid you need to fill your bottle and divide accordingly. Don’t forget you’ll need to leave some room for the pump to fit back in.
I used 1/4 cup castile soap and added
1 cup of water. Add the water slowly because you don’t want your mixture to be too sudsy.
Pour the solution into your dispenser and
Ta da! You just saved some cash and you kept a plastic bottle from the landfill.
Go you.
