Great idea! I knew the hand soap lasted better with a pump, but will have to try the dish soap too now. Thanks for sharing. (And congrats on blogging at Frugal Hacks!)

Good tip. I’m cracking up at the pics of that pump bottle!

Perry was replacing brake pads last weekend, too. No better time than during 30 days of nothing, huh?

It’s just a regular pump that hand soap came in. I have tried the foaming soap and have mixed feelings about it. The refills are expensive, I know you can just use regular soap and add water, but to add water to something that is gonna be there a long time (like a bottle of hand soap) you really should boil the water first, and that kills any bacteria in the water. It also kills my interest in actually getting that done. Also, I have found that little hands think the foaming soap is way too fun to play with. I have a several very tactile children.

I learned this tip in the bathroom & if it’s foamy soap, the kids use even less!

Great idea! is that a regular pump or do you have a foaming pump bottle? Have you tried those or is that overkill?

I have a million bottles of everything in my house now! Woo Hoo CVS! Now I am gonna see how long I can make it all last! I found an extra pump under the bathroom sink, and put it at the kitchen sink (we do dishes by hand too)…Now, lets see how long the dawn lasts…

Very good idea! I have a pump that’s almost empty so I’m going to do this. I haven’t heard of the 30 days of nothing until now. I need that for the month of October!

Well, the pictures are fabulous! And, I also use a handy little pump, but ours is built into the sink, and hubby isn’t the car handy type, so there isn’t any wandering dispensers around here! It is great portion control, though, isn’t it?
