Liquid Soap
Shampoo makes an excellent liquid hand soap, and it’s loads cheaper than any soap refill that you can buy. Just fill your soap dispenser about a third of the way with shampoo; fill the rest of the space with water, and give the dispenser a good shake to combine everything.
Have a foaming soap dispenser? You can use shampoo to make your own foaming soap refill, too. Just dilute the shampoo even further.
- Also try: Add baking soda to a bottle of shampoo to create your own mechanic’s/gardener’s soap.
Shaving Cream
Cross shaving cream off of your shopping list for good. A squirt of shampoo works just as well, and will never leave those nasty rust stains on your tub.
- Tip: Mix shampoo and conditioner together (or use a two-in-one) to give your skin an extra boost of moisture.
Keep the kids entertained by making bubble solution from diluted shampoo. It works just as well as store-bought, and costs way less.
