stinky sponges

Fix smelly sponges with hand sanitizer.

The next time your washing dishes and you notice your sponge smells bad. Instead of throwing the sponge out try a little hand sanitizer. Put two or three squirts on the sponge and work it into the sponge. Let it set for a day and the smell should be gone.

   Save money by making your own foaming liquid soap from regular liquid soap. This is a secret that the liquid soap manufacturers do not want you to know.

Shampoo, body wash, and hand soap are the same ?

Shampoo, body wash, and hand soap are the same ? Keep in mind that the first thing listed in ingredients, is what there is the most of. And what is listed last on the list of ingredients is what there is the least of.
    With that in mind note that the above labels show identical ingredients, yet one is shampoo and the other is body wash. If you want to go one further, look at the ingredients on hand soap. A 64 fluid ounce bottle of hand soap that sells for $3.80 has the same ingredients as the 12 fluid ounce body wash that sells for $3.95. That's a 400% markup over the hand soap that has the exact same ingredients. Now not all soaps have the exact same formula but if the first five ingredients are the same I would say that's a very close match. So the next time you go shopping for shampoo and body wash, remember hand soap with the same ingredients sells for 400% less. Also note that store brands are more likely to use the same ingredients in their soap products. In the examples that I have shown here remember that it took several comparisons before I found an exact match but only the first 5 or 6 ingredients need match.
    The real question that we should be asking is how many other products are they doing this with?

My parents and grandparents were always recycling everything, nothing was ever thrown out or wasted . We reused soup cans, coffee cans and anything else that might have been thrown away. My dads mantra was " waste not want not." and "throw it away only if you can't recycle it." Recycling old mailboxes into garden toolboxes to reusing old garden hose for tool handles .
