    How much does it cost by the way. Seems a good idea.

    Thanks for asking :D I was just about too.

    Currently, I pay about 98p for Sainsburys basic laundry liquid for the washing machine
    Or creme bath/basic hand soap dispensed into the ceramic dispensers for hand washing. I'm always happy to try something cheaper.

    Great idea :)

    Another option is to refill your liquid soap pump with cheap bath foam. I use the same bath foam to refill my showergel bottle too.

    I have just tried this trick in the 2 liquid soap dispensers - using sains basics foam bath - both filled with a bit left over for 18p (shh - no one's noticed yet).

    If you've got a foaming handwash pump you can fill it 3/4 full with water and just top up with handwash or shampoo and it works out even cheaper.

    I fill a foaming pump with water and add a couple of teaspoons of Dr Bronners. I love Dr Bronners, it costs about £5 for a bottle but it lasts for ages because you only use a tiny amount and you can use it for cleaning, laundry, handwash, shower gel and loads more.

  • I'm currently feeling very smug & pleased with my self so I thought I'd share my rather ingenious 'invention'! :D

    I'm confused why does buying a product in a supermarket make you a genius??????

    erm isn't that more than hand soap??

    I like dr bronner too. I have in the past dissolved lush soap in hot water and put that in a dispenser

  • I can highly recommend Asda's 18 pence a litre "Smart Price" foam bath. If I'm feeling particularly miserly (which is most of the time) I mix it 50/50 with water

    Hi, I've always used creme bath, does the bubble bath work just as well, without bubbling all over the place.

    If so, I've been splashing out at 24p a litre from Tesco :D :eek:
  • I use smart price foam bath + fill my soap container, I dont dilute it, still lasts for ages!
