How to Make Dish Soap Last Twice as Long

When I was a girl my grandma told me that she had a trick for making her dish soap last twice as long. You see she, and I seem to have inherited this trait, used too much dish soap.

So, she diluted her soap.

I have been doing the same thing most of my adult life, and it is a great way to save money.

I just make sure I always keep an extra dish soap bottle on hand. Then, when I need more dish soap, I simply fill it halfway (sometimes even less) with dish soap and then fill the rest with water. I give the bottle a shake and then it is ready. (Optional: Cute toddler to help.)

So, if you are like me and have a lead foot so to speak when it comes to using dish soap, dilute it. :)

    “lead foot” when it comes to dish soap use, I love it!! Too funny. My family has the same problem. I used to use this same method but have forgotten about it, thank you for the reminder. ~Alexis on behalf of everyone at A Moment with MOM
