Built in soap dish in shower has old soap crust like stone!
Comments (14)Sounds like scale build-up. You can buy scale remover or use vinegar. You could use the same idea of soaking a towel in the scale remover or vinegar and leave it over night. I would use some old rag that you can just throw away and probably cotton would be best if you choose to use that scale remover which is kind of strong. Vinegar will probably not harm a cloth. This may take a few times to get it all. But if it's hard and sharp that would most likely be scale from your water. We have scale in our water and vinegar gets it off. It can also build up on the shower head and cause the water to not come out very good, you can put vinegar in a baggie and put it on the shower head and use some tape to hold it there over night. It will be clean in the morning!...See MoreSave on 'Foaming' soap, dilute regular hand soap
Comments (8)I've used a couple styles of foam soap dispensers - had them long before Dial came out with theirs and the special liquid soap to go with them. I use the FOAMPUMP in the kitchen. I can do MUCH better in savings than the Consumerist web site shared. It takes 2-3 T. of regular liquid soap (not those that contain moisturizers, however) and about 2 cups of water. Instead of using a small pump dispenser of liquid soap each month, that same amount will last a year or more, using the FOAMPUMP. The other is EURO-FORMER. I use this for pricey shower gel-type liquid soap in the shower. Both foamers makes a thick mousse-type foam. -Grainlady...See MoreDish and hand soap at kitchen sink
Comments (53)Thanks for the other suggestions and ideas. Max - Love those! I'd probably buy the fig one. Allison - Thanks for posting your photo. I didn't think about a ball jar. I like how that looks too. Walnutcreek - Thanks! It's a different style, but clean looking. I like the other too glass ones also. They might compete with the size of my dish soap bottle though since it's taller. Marisa - They look nice! I wish I had a Home Goods here. Zoey - That was the Target one I was talking about. I like that a lot. I'm glad to hear yours has been working well and might give it a try. I saw nothing appealing while I was out recently. I'm going to check again tomorrow. Thanks!...See MoreIn Sink soap DIspenser - Hand or Dish soap?
Comments (25)I understand the concerns about using dish soap if it tends to dry your hands. That hasn't been a probelm for me, but I do have a child with OCD who tends to wash more than necessary, so for a while I switched from the antibacterial dish soap to a dish soap that was not antibacterial. It was gentler on the hands, and kept my child's hands from cracking (and sometimes bleeding) as they had with the antibacterial soap. Since then, I've diverted my child from constant hand washing to using hand sanitizer in between a normal amount of hand washing, which has solved the problem. Now I can use whatever kind of dish soap I want. But if it doesn't bother your hands, dish soap is a perfectly good hand soap. (My grandmother even used dish soap for shampoo, which I do occasionally for a super cleansing of all hair products from my hair, with no discernible harm.)...See MoreCA Kate z9
