Direct Foam Refills

RE: Direct Foam Refills Post by cantmissamy (13) | (06/01/2008) Profile | Blog! | Contact I put 1/3 cup vinagar, 1/4 cup dawn and the rest water in the pump. It works the same as the full strength stuff. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Direct Foam Refills Post By Rebecca (Guest Post) (01/21/2007) Pampered Chef sells the "foaming" bottle. It has a fill line for the liquid soap and a fill line for the water. It it works great!

I use a ratio of 1 part soap to 6 parts water. I have one pump that is marked just for that purpose. I got it at a Pampered Chef party of all places. I just love it.

I just love it! Report Spam or Abuse RE: Direct Foam Refills Post by Debbie52 (947) | (11/23/2006) Profile | Contact jowhit67: thanks for the tip about putting a sponge in the sink under the pump. I was just having a drip down the side of the sink which I always had to clean....altho as I wiped that area, I could just then clean the whole sink. I set a little plastic lid under the pump bottle but that still didn't take care of it because the spout extends past it. Your idea of a sponge there to catch the drips is great! I am down to the right amount left in my present bottle of Dawn Direct to just add water and see how it works for me.

They all work just fine. I have a dishwasher, so don't really do much hand washing, but the foam is great for a quick cleanup of a dish or pot. Mine drips too, but I just placed a small sponge under the spout, then use the sponge for quick counter cleanups. That way I don't waste a drop of that lovely foam! :-)) Report Spam or Abuse RE: Direct Foam Refills Post by poogles (1) | (11/21/2006) Contact Wow! I did it! It works great! We love the pump and now we have one in the kitchen and one in the bathroom. Crazy? And the pump is over the sink so no worries on the mess. I knew this was the right place to ask! Google brought up NOTHING. You all are awesome! Thank you all so much! pk Report Spam or Abuse RE: Direct Foam Refills Post by Debbie52 (947) | (11/21/2006) Profile | Contact Wow, that is interesting that you can have results like the original with just 3/4" of soap and the rest water! Did you use some sort of Dawn or can it be any sort of dish soap? I love the Dawn Direct and had some good coupons to get it cheap. I will say it lasts me a long time and I am only on my 2nd bottle in 11 mos time (I do have a dishwasher tho). The only complaint I have is that the pump usually drips so then I have a little soap mess on the back of the sink.

It has to be r-e-a-l-l-y diluted...only 3/4 to 1 inch of soap and the rest water, mix gently. Worked great for me!

I put about 3/4 of an inch of soap in the bottom of the pump and then filled the rest of it with water. Gently shake from side to side to mix it. I couldn't tell the difference from my refill to the original. Report Spam or Abuse
