Make Your Own Foam Soap From Any Liquid Soap

One of my staples from T.J.Maxx and Home Goods used to be foam soap. When I was lucky enough to find the right color of soap or bottle for my bathroom along with my preferred fragrance, I’d be thrilled. That’s a hard combination to find—I’m particular! But, when I do, I scarf up every bottle I can find and do a happy dance right there between the toilet bowl brushes and fluffy white bathroom rugs.

I couldn’t always get the right decorative bottle or the right fragrance—so I did some research and found the easiest solution: Make my own!

It’s so easy and costs 80% less than regular liquid soap.

Here’s how:

• First, buy a beautiful foam soap dispenser. I’ve tried a few and this is the one I like the best. You can see from the picture I have the frosted version.
• Then choose any liquid soap you like. You don’t have to worry about the soap dispenser matching your bathroom decor. Now you just need to find one with a fragrance you like.
• Add five parts water and one part liquid soap, in that order.
• Shake well.

There you have it! Homemade foaming soap for 1/5 of the cost! And now you’ll have a zillion more choices because you don’t have to worry about matching the container to your decor.

There are a few reasons I love liquid soap.

It’s efficient and I use less soap so it’s cost-effective, and also I use much less water to rinse my hands. I worked in an office and now I’m retired. It’s not like I’m digging ditches or working on cars. I just don’t need tons of concentrated soap or time to work up the lather only to spend more time and water rinsing it all away. It’s overkill.

There are lots of choices of liquid soap from the discount stores. Yay!
