Foaming Soap Container?

[Ty_and_Ad's_MumMum]

I've read that a lot of you use Dr. Bronner's soap for a handwash and put it in a Foaming Soap Container.

Where did you find them?

I found one site online, but they want you to spend at least $20 and the shipping was outrageous!

Thanks in advance!

We bought the dial soap that comes in the container. Dumped out the soap and washed it really well, then refilled it with our soap mix. We bought one from Pampered Chef and it broke really quickly, but the dial container was way cheaper and hasn't broken yet.

same thing...I bought foamy soap from the store and use that container. I found one that wasn't antibacterial so I used the soap, but i would have dumped the Dial as well.

If I ever have to replace one, Kiss My Face has these really yummy foamy soaps now that people buy through the Frontier co-op I run offboard and I will totally be buying one of those as a splurge and then reuse that bottle!

Oooh, now I have to make sure to order the Kiss My Face soap with my Frontier order, thanks for the heads up! I was wondering if there were any other good containers, We are reusing a softsoap one and a Kandoo one right now.

we use the "Tone" foaming soap and then refill with a castile soap (not Dr. B, but a cheaper brand)

I actually got this idea from selling Pampered Chef! People were always ordering the soap pumps (pricey), and then calling me because they would break really fast. I read in the directions that you just put in watered down regular soap, so when my dial pumps ran out, I started refilling them myself, and that's been like two years ago now, and my dial pumps still keep pumping!

Oh, the KMF ones are expensive but sooooooo wonderful. We love them. And they do last awhile so it's not too terrible an expense. I was planning on reusing them with some handsoap I got at Trader Joe's but I'm kind of hooked on KMFs actual soap and scents. I wish they would make refills!!

Have your Tone ones gotten so you push them down and they stay down? Is there any way to fix that (other than doing what I do, which is just pulling it up by hand before I pump soap out of it)?

I've found that the castille soaps make the foaming dispenser clog up really fast. I prefer to use diluted dishwashing liquid. I keep a bottle of all-natural dishwashing liquid under the bathroom sink just for this purpose.

That's so weird! I've never had them clog up (though my MIL has. I think she was using a LOT of soap and not a lot of water though?) but when I tried to use dishsoap in a pinch once, it didn't foam *at all*. Maybe I didn't use enough soap?

One of my dispensers was originally some kind of Kid's soap from Walmart. It has gotten stuck like that & we have to pull it up. It is hard for the 3 yo. I guess I need to buy some more dial & pour it out!

But heck, the expensive pump I bought from Country Bunny did the same thing. It was like $8. So, yup, I'd just buy the Dial and toss it.

ooooh! Method has foaming hand soaps now and the containers are cool! Maybe these will by my replacement bottles if I ever need to replace the ones I have. I'm making a mental note!

What ratio of soap to water do you use? I used to have one of the Pampered Chef one's but it broke. I've never even thought of refilling! That would definitely save some money.

Got mine at Jillian's drawers (www.jilliansdrawers.com) under accessories for a couple bucks plus shipping, and it works great with dr. bronner's. Plus it's a great diapering site.

The foamy bottles at Jillian's Drawers are cute! I got mine here: http://www.kindheartedwomen.com/foamybottles.php a couple of years ago and they're going strong.
