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.\n

Have a foaming soap dispenser? You can use shampoo to make your own foaming soap refill, too. Just dilute the shampoo even further.\n

Also try: Add baking soda to a bottle of shampoo to create your own mechanic’s\/gardener’s soap.\n\n

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.\n
\n
\n
Tip: Mix shampoo and\u00a0conditioner\u00a0together (or use a two-in-one) to give your skin an extra boost of moisture.\n\n
