Who doesn't love a good foaming soap

I love foaming soap.  But I get tired of paying the higher price for foaming soap when I know it is mostly water.  So I developed my own foaming soap.  Let me tell you....it is EASY AND CHEAP. 

So here it is.  First you need to use up some foaming soap you buy. These happen to be my favorite.

Once they are empty, you can make your own soap.  The absolutely best thing to make soap with is dish washing detergent.  The clear (not creamy....color doesn't matter) seem to make the best soap.  I bought the Hand Renewal last time.  I figured I might as well try to do something nice form my hands.  


Next add about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch to the bottom of the empty soap bottles.  Then fill the rest of the way with water.  It is very important not to get too much soap.  If you do it will not create foaming soap.  


Notice I didn't fill the water to the top.  This is very important.  The foaming tops are bulky and take up space in the bottle.  If you over fill it will gush out as you put the top on wasting your new foaming soap.  
Now shake.  And there you GO!  Foaming soap.  Very cheap.  I think the Dawn Hand renewal cost me somewhere around $3.00.  I use very little per bottle.  Imagine how many bottles of soap I can make for $3.00.  Foaming soap at Bath and Body is $5.00 per bottle.  Granted, I still buy it on occasion if it is on sale.  Your foamers won't last forever so you have to replace them eventually.  

Enjoy making your own soap in minutes.  The whole process takes maybe 3 minutes.
