    Refilling them are a bit of a nightmare, but you could have a real giggle if you watch some of the YouTube on different methods people have used!

    I got a knife and flipped the lid off in the end, but you'll only be able to do that a couple of times before it breaks.

    The most promising method I saw in a google search was someone used a ketchup squeeze bottle (the kind you buy empty and it has a thin, pointy top). Someone else suggested some kind of bottle for hair products they sell at Sally Beauty as it has an even thinner spout. You fill that with your cheap soap, then just insert the spout into the opening where the soap comes out of the dettol dispenser and voila! Refilled dispenser. I think that was the US, but surely you can find such supplies here somewhere.

    I saw those ones too - so thought I'd be ok with a large medical syringe, as we have loads of medical supplies in our household, to find the soap was too thick to push through and would have taken forever, so definitely better off flipping the top off!

    I need to find the clip of some one setting up some gravity fed system - it's worth a :rotfl:

    I though mine would break. It was a mission and a half getting it off. I tried a pen, a knife, screwdriver and the only thing that worked was the potato peeler (the traditional ones with the orange band on the handle). Even that took three goes. It was pretty battered at the end of it but it is now fully refilled with my beloved dove handwash! Al though i did like the original dettol soap in there- left my hands feeling very sanitised :T
