Can you use dish soap to make foaming soap instead of liquid soap?

Yes. Take one teaspoon of dish liquid--any kind--and add it to water. Fill up your foam dish liquid dispenser and shake. That's all there is to it. Saves lots of money.


How do you make foaming soap?

Foaming soap dispensers were invented about 15 years ago by a Dutch company called Airspray. The best way for consumers to get a foaming soap dispenser is to buy one at a retail store. Some empty foamers are sold, but most come with soap already in them. My personal favorite in the US are the foamers from a company called Method. Their foamers are available for $3-4 from most Target stores. The solution for foaming soap is far more dilute than regular liquid soaps. If you start with a solution 10% liquid soap and 90% distilled water, you will be pretty close. I recommend distilled water because you'll get consistent repeatable results with that. Foaming soap is always white; the only reason you'll get some other color is if the soap is over-concentrated. You CANNOT make foaming soap from a lotion. It will not work. If you try, the lotion will splatter and sputter.


Is it okay to recycle a liquid soap dispenser or should I purchase a new one?

It is okeay to recycle a liquid soap dispenser. Many soaps have big refill bottles that can be used to refill old dispensers. It is quite easy to recycle liquid soap dispensers. I do it often. I will buy a soap dispenser that I like and refill it with generic liquid soap.


How do you put soap in the soap dispenser?

If it is jar soap dispenser, I'm unscrewing the pomp and I'm pouring some liquid soap through the hole to the inside of the jar. But if it is automatic soap dispenser I'm putting the liquid soap into the container, which I must primary open ( just like a box)
