liquid handwash

:A Don't keep buying handwash at £1+ per bottle! Refil those lovely little dispensers with babybath. Ive just refilled my two carex ones which cost me originally £1 each for a mere 47p with tescovalue babybath-kind to your skin and even looks the same. :A

  • Hi

    Does it have an anti-bacteria cleaner in it?

    We buy ours from Makros when on special. 4 huge anti-bac dispensers and work out on there offer at 50p each and they last about 3 months each. So a years supply for £2.00 :eek: It smells devine too and you need the smallest amount :D

    On a similar subject, I have started buying that hand gel that nurses use. It costs about £1.25 but I find it lasts ages and it's lovely for using after visiting public loos. I hate the thought of even touching door handles in those places because so many people don't wash their hands.

    i carry the no water needed hand cleaner when out... great after visiting the public loos..... and i re fill my hand wash bottles with cheapo stuff, and add a couple of drops of tea tree oil to it.. .give it a shake and away you go... anti bacterial, anti fungal (nail problems) anti everything i think.... I do try and buy a good quality oil as i think the cheap ones are rubbish... but 2 drops in hand cleaner etc its lasts for ages...

    pleased that helped..... i also put a couple of drops in cheapo shampoo & conditioner (i like aldis stuff) as it keeps the bugs away when madam is at school... I have also known to put the oil in shower gel whilst on hols as it keeps the bugs away too.... little dab on each wrist & ankle helps...

    love t tree.......

  • I shall put some tea tree oil into my new "handwash" so then its antibacterial too! I shall give the bubblebath a try too. Ive got a litre of tesco bubblebath ive not uses from tesco-had it for a few years lol-guess i should try it-was less than 50p at the time!

    Brilliant - I would never have thought of using cheap bubble bath ! I buy Tesco cheapy handwash and stock up when its on offer or 50% extra free but I will definately buy the cheap bubbles now - Maybe I can justify another one of those nice dispensers if I am making such savings on the contents :D

    I use ASDA's white moisurising bubble bath - costs 48p and fills several Carex dispensers. I worked it out at about 16p a refill.
