Love this!!!! What I did was I drew a line on the bottle(with a black permanent marker) after I poured in the 3T of soap and then another line where the water ended up. Then I wont have to measure out the ingredients everytime I need to refill. I do this with all the cleaning supplies I make. Less mess. :D

This was great! You have to give the soapy mixture at least 10 minutes after you combine the water and soap until the foam comes out right. Too early and its watery.

Yes, this works great. However, the foam soap bottles will wear out after 2 - 3 uses. I found a place online where I could purchase 1 or as many as I would like. http://www.bottlesandfoamers.com Most of the places I tried to find bottles required minimum purchases. Hope this helps.

I tried this with baby hair and body wash and it worked great. The kids love to use the foam! No fuss getting clean now! Thanks!

This is awesome! We go through a LOT of handsoap and the kids love the foaming stuff. I used the suggested Dawn apple blossom anti-bacterial dish soap with fabulous results. Thanks, jp mims, for a great money-saving tip!!!

I added cotton blossom essential oil to a clean scented dish soap. I like it better than the Bath and Body Works version.

This recipe works great! I am ordering extra foam dispensers so I can do the same thing with shampoo and body wash for my kids. I remembered that I had this recipe while I was in the store, but couldn't remember the measurements...I bought a HUGE refill of antibacterial liquid hand soap. I shouldn't have to purchase hand soap for years. =)

Okay I though no way could it be so simple...I was WRONG! I used Earth Friendly's ,Natural Pear Dish soap. Oh my , talk about savings, than buying the natural foam soap from Kiss My Face at $3-$4 a bottle. This cost me about less than $.35 to make! THANK YOU jp mims for posting this recipe!

Another 5 star review. My foaming soap turned out perfectly. (I used SoftSoap vanilla brown sugar hand soap.) Very simple, and what a money saver. Thanks for the recipe!!!

Thanks for such a great idea! I tried it with dish soap, using your exact measurements and it worked perfectly!
