I use a very small Palmolive bottle, and refill it from a Costco-sized bottle.

Moni, a picture, please? I can't find something to replace my old one.

Ali, I edited my post, and added the picture. find such a dispenser top, and you can use ANY bottle. ;)

I got my top like Moni's at Walmart. I also got a bottle there. But I have seen them inserted into liquor bottles and they can still work.

ETA: inserted into liquor bottles being reused as soap dispensers, and they can still work.

Like sushi, use a very small Dawn bottle and refill it.

I bought a foaming dawn at the grocery, and now just refill it (mix regular dawn with water). Knock on wood, this one is going on several years of working just fine. I get enormous bottle of Dawn liquid at Costco. And...it lives in the sink (I have a double bowl) so its not marking the counter or visible. (Ok, yes its wierd!)

ETA: my folks have a dispenser built in to the counter top and it runs on a long line down to a giant costco bottle under the sink so they don't have to deal with refilling it very often.

H B The built dispensers are nice and certainly solve a problem.

Ya mean...spit doesn't work?!

Jim.....that only works for a shine.

Moni how do you prevent drips from running down your cute bottle and becomming messy? Very cute Moni.

I also just use a small Dawn bottle and refill it. Its either sitting on the sink edge or under the sink.

For those of you mixing water with dish detergent make sure your using distilled water and not tap otherwise bacteria will grow in a week.

I have a small Dawn bottle also that I refill...but I have a squirt top that I found to fit it. I bought some cheap hand soap and the squirter off of it fits perfectly, had to cut the straw part down a little but it gets almost every last drop out of the bottle because it's cut to fit to the very bottom of the bottle.

I second Mama's comment about using distilled water ONLY for mixing! It will get bacteria in it! I had this happen with shampoo one time and broke out in a rash from it!

I buy a 900ml of Sunlight and keep it under the sink. I don't have room at the sink to keep too many things out. A hand-soap dispenser, and the scrubbies are beside the sink all the time.

I used to use those dispensers for oil, but it kept falling out, so I don't use those any more. But I love the idea of using them in liquor bottles (provided it stays in)

We used to buy a big jug of it from Costco, but they've changed to a no-name brand that is chintzy quality. Even with our soft water, the suds didn't last.

I use a small Dawn bottle from the Dollar tree. I refill it from a gallon sized bottle of Dawn that has a pump. I keep the gallon under the sink and just leave the small one sit out

Moni, I like that your bottle has ribbing that would provide a grip.

I once had a built in one in my kitchen but they used that opening in the sink when they put in the R.O. water dispenser. I have one for hsnd soap in my bathroom.

I use the Dawn foaming dish soap bottle, I keep refilling it with home made soap (dawn & water)

I just have it beside my sink in the bottle it comes in. I use Mrs. Meyers mostly.

HB: I keep our small bottle of Dawn (refill w/ larger size) in the 40 side of our 40/60 double sink, too (so, not weird). DH has very flingy, drippy hands, so bottle in the sink contains the messes a bit -- decreases the # of times I need to wipe down my counters. :)

I keep the Palmolive and a smaller hand-soap bottle on the counter, to the right-hand side of the sink. You're a special guest indeed if I hide the dish soap (under the sink) when you're here.

mama with that dispenser top, are no drips. At least, none for me or Charlotte.

Moni

I buy the Awesome citrus scent dish soap from the Dollar Tree and always kept it in the cabinet under my sink until I had surgery and wasn't permitted to bend over, so now it just sits on the counter beside the sink.

I had one of those never empty devices that connect a giant bottle of detergent under the sink to the installed soap dispenser. The new house does not have an installed dispenser so I will get some type of easy to use pump dispenser.

I bought a black plastic lid with a pump that fits the top of a mason jar, I use a blue jar with bright blue dish det,

I used a square pump for several years, which I really liked, but a couple of months ago I bought the "Drop". I just thought it was so cute! It's a squeeze bottle and I find that I actually use less soap than I did with the pump. Mine is kiwi.

I don't want anything I have to lift or hold that is difficult for me. I kind of like this one. It's double and appears to be easy to push. Never ordered from them though. I see bed bath and beyond has it as well as the container store. I will try to get one of these.

I would like a pump dispenser with an extra long nozzle to leave at the sink. Have not been able to find one like the one I had. With the longer nozzle, if it does drip, it goes into the sink rather than the counter.

JoAnn, do you have a recipe for your homemade foaming soap you can share?

My foaming Dawn bottle is about 7" high. I put in about an inch of regular Dawn and then add water up to the fill line (ridge on side that says, "fill to here"). Shake well to mix up. Sometimes if I start to pump it before its fully mixed, it will come out a bit gloopy, but with additional shaking that goes away. (My experience has been a bit runnier mix, works better than thick mixes).

I use a motion sensored hand soap dispenser for mine. I run the sponge under the spout and the soap dispenses on the sponge. If I am doing a full sink of dishes I just reach on the cabinet and get the big bottle. But this dispenses just the right amount of soap on my sponge to do what hand washing I do and it looks very nice it is made of stainless steel and matches my faucet and sink.
