Method hand soap refill (6 pack) $25

How does this compare to Live Clean?

Dollarama has Method Hand Soap Refill at $4 each, it's a buck cheaper, and no need to buy 6 in once
only see green apple scent available though

While this might work a bit, I believe the pump itself is different for the foaming ones.

Usually it's a 4-to-1 ratio, so recycling a fancy BBW soap pump, I would mix 200ml water with 50ml soap (usually I go a little more than 50ml)

Slowly stir the water/soap mixture until well blended trying not to create too many bubbles or foam, then pour into your "foaming pump" of choice!

Recently, I've been doing this with Lemon scented Dawn, so it's a multipurpose hand or quick rinse soap for when there's something not really dirty that I don't want to throw in the dishwasher.

That is correct.

I just rushed to order, then realized it's not the foaming soap refill, so don't be me: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B0030T1750/

As mentioned above, you can make it foaming... Actually saves even more than buying the foaming refills

All kidding aside, I think this is better than what Bath and Body works soap sells which leaves your hands dry.

Anyone remember the price and size of the Costco softsoap liquid soap refills when they're on sale? I think it's around $10-11 for 2x1.8L (which works out to around $3/l if my prices/sizes are correct).

Thanks op needed refills

This needs to be pinned as a life hack

Cause it's fairly time consuming to slowly blend the soap/water without getting too many bubbles - what IDstorms wrote. Still if you are a true RFDer, you just got 4x the amount of soap you were paying for before.

I use 2:1 for most soaps, makes for a nicer foam imho.

I fill a foaming pump slightly less than half way with soap, top it up with tap water (leaving room for the foaming mechanism, which is quite big), screw the pump back in and give it a good shake. Useable right away, no additional container required.

Which is the better favor grapefruit or green tea?

It depends on what you're looking for. Neither one is actually soap; they're detergents, based on surfactants. Both will dry and irritate your skin to some extent.
According to a site that studies and rated ingredients, B&BW is worse than Method. But then, method is mostly SLS and CAPB, both of which tend to make rashes last longer if you have a bit of eczema or similar skin issue:
sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS): "A detergent used in cosmetics, is a skin, eye and respiratory tract irritant and toxic to aquatic organisms."
cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB): "If your skin is sensitive to products that contain CAPB, you may notice tightness, redness, or itchiness after you use the product. This kind of reaction is known as contact dermatitis. If the dermatitis is severe, you may have blisters or sores where the product came into contact with your skin." (Soap products don't contain enough to be that severe, so usually all it does is make skin drier and rashes worse.)
Method example: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/products/8 ... _Waterfall_/
B&BB example: https://www.ewg.org/skindeep/products/8 ... y_Blossom/

If you or someone in your household does have a skin issue and sometimes uses a prescription cream for it, you'll probably find that switching to real soap (like Dr. Bronners, Mountain Sky, etc. - look for "real liquid hand soap" or "castile soap") will cause less irritation and dryness and less prescription cream usage. A bit of skin cream like Aveeno might be all you usually need.

Depending on which one, Live Clean is slightly better or slightly worse, from a skin-irritating chemical point of view, anyway:

My wife hates the Grapefruit smell, bought it when it was on sale last time. Started using it only this week and she has been cursing me whenever she uses it. Lol..

I mixed 1 part soap gel and 3 part water in a foam dispenser and it was perfect for us.

Your wallet. Get the cheapest hand soap you can buy, use the savings for hand moisturizer.

The only bottled cleaner you should worry about is what goes on your hair and face.

There’s no best flavour because it’s based purely on preferences
