Stretching Liquid Hand Soap

My family uses anti-bacterial soap at the kitchen and utility room sinks and with hands being washed constantly in my household, the cost adds up quickly! To make the soap last longer, I keep spare bottles and thin the soap down with water, usually 1 part soap to not quite 3 parts water. Sure saves the pennies. I have been doing this for over 20 years now.

There's another technique that's been submitted. Another way to stretch the liquid soap. Wrap a rubber band several times around the neck of the plunger area, so the plunger doesn't go down as far. Adjust the band up or down, according to your preference. Your family may discover, a little dab'll do ya!

If it is less concentrated surly the family will use more at a time. The more concentrated it is the less they will use. In my opinion you are not saving, you are lowering the strength of the anti-bacterial by adding plain water to it.

I like adding mouthwash to mine to thin it - it gets an additional boost of germ killers!
