Can't you mix it with water and put it in foaming pump?
Sure, if you didn't break the plastic pump head trying to get it to suction… No worries, have other units to use.
I do 1:4 with warm water, still need a foam pump bottle though.
1 : 2 (boiled water) = foaming
Is his for real?
Yep
@King Tightarse: So…the foaming ones contain only 1/3 of the non-foaming liquid but price is almost same?
@GregFiona: May be a little higher like 35%-40%, so you are paying for water.
I never buy the foaming refill but I did buy the 3 bottles to get the foam.
I use this formula but if you want thicken foam can reduce water.
But remember to use distillated water or boiled water
yeah, innovation on how to save by the way talking of saving can you turn ribbed condoms inside out so they’re for your pleasure not hers ….. ?
of course you have to be using an original foaming pump otherwise you'll just have watery soap
I assume this is the known knowledge
Why boiled ? What does boiling do to water that makes it better than just mixing it with normal tap water ?
@SnoozeAndLose: “Hot Water System Waterfall- Stress Free Plumbers. Call now” that was the first result
@SnoozeAndLose: So assuming you use boiled water to remove contaminants and bacteria do you also wash hands with boil(ing|ed) water? Otherwise it does not make much sense.
@[Deactivated]: If you use tap water, bacteria will grow because of the water, so the foam will be contaminated will millions of bacteria in a few days, unless you use them immediately.
All in all, tap water has lots of microorganisms which can grow rapidly. I am no doctor or scientist, please google for your own curiousity
Personally, I would be safe and use Boiled water for this situation. No points keep arguing. it is your health and up to you want to do with you handwash, perhaps just buy the foaming refill and spend some money to be safe.
@SnoozeAndLose: If it's antibacterial when you put it on your hands it's also antibacterial while still in the bottle, so nothing will grow there.
@SnoozeAndLose: Being that passive aggressive is much worse for your health than any bacteria out there.
@[Deactivated]: I should say you won and do what you think is right but I stay correct. It is my health and my way to double sure what 'I' use good for my own health.
There are lots of debate around tap water vs boiled water on Google, I am not going to start one here on ozbargain.
The Woolworths link is unavailable for me what price is it usually or showing now on sale?
The Balnea refills are $3.30/L so roughly half the price per litre of this deal both are antibacterial but the Balnea comes in 750mL whereas this deal comes in 1000mL but it is better value going the Balnea way but Palmolive could be better quality but I have no idea only making estimations.
Lastly no subscribe and save option on this item sadly.
It's very high for a sale price. You probably wouldn't notice the difference from balnea.
This is very true just thought it might be worth asking just in case there is some study or research/test/review that says Balnea is better than Palmolive in this regard or vice versa etc.
Choice might have a say in it but I am not a subscriber so I wouldn't know.
Balnea is the worst soap I have ever used.
Hardly any lather
Can the Balnea one turn into foaming too by mixing it with water?
No idea maybe someone with experience can chime in.
I'm starting to become sceptical - over the past 10 weeks in ISO/WFH, I've bought 8 litres of similar palmolive liquid soap, 6 litres of sanitiser, 5 litres of Viraclean, 50 bars of aloe vera soap a UVC germicidal lamp. I take 4000IU of vitamin D a day plus 1hr of sun and eat stuff in more fruits & greens than a polling booth. I've been religiously cleaning everything - but last week I still caught a cold. I've saved heaps from OzB & the bulk tissues have come in handy, but was it all worth it?!?!?!?!?!
You're drinking it wrong, need to dilute first like a juice squash/cordial. Could have saved over half those amounts… Tsk.
No. Steve-O has taught us that you can do some pretty crazy stuff and still live to tell the tale especially in the germs and bacteria department it's mostly all mind over matter.
Don't believe me watch some Jackass and stuff from Steve-O he is living proof that you can literally cover yourself in other people's faeces and still be ok somewhat lol.
And on the insect and deadly creatures end watch Brave Wilderness on YouTube you will be in awe and amazed at what the human body can endure if you put your mind to it.
Most sickness is just yourself getting self paranoid over stuff or stepping beyond your boundaries either accidentally or on purpose.
Stay safe and take care friend.
same i have so much soap and sanitizer i’m set up for a 4th corona wave …. i think a lot of the hype is to make people feel like they are in control ….. someone with corona sneezes or coughs on you soap and sanitizer won’t help …….
Same here, left home like 2 times in a week to go shopping late evening with barely any people in sight and somehow managed to get cold. How???
I bought one 1-2 months ago from reject shop for $5
1 L refills have been $3.25 on Amazon in the past, at least of the honey and milk variety.
yeah pretty covid
in early Feb it was 3.25
those were the days
Milk and Honey soaps are not antibacterial though.
Effective on coronavirus though.
Hang on, this is true. Why did someone neg you?
You don't need an antibacterial soap to get rid of the coronavirus.
Here have an upvote.
Actually Aldi's antibacterial foaming hand soap is so good, I am surprised by the quantity despite it has a cheap looking packaging. It comes with passionfruit, ginger and mint smell and leave my hands clean. Not expansive but my son loves it so much and washes his hands all the time.
yep $1.79, and it foams ….. bottle looks cheap though …..
How large are the $1.79 ones? 250ml or larger?
250ml
@CVonC: Fair enough.
I have Woolworths, Coles and Aldi in walking distance sorta.
Sometimes I have IGA near me depending on where I work.
It's actually made by Palmolive, bottles are identical, so and content of them.
palmolive ones are clear bottles so you see the color of the soap, the aldi ones are same shape but a white bottle with labeling, i prefer to see the pretty gel colors …..
you know you can remove plastic cover, right?
Antibacterial but not antiviral. Does nothing for viruses that normal soap wouldn't do. Experts even believe Antibacterial soaps can lead to superbugs.
I'm sorry, how is this a deal? This is the everyday price from Coles, Woolies and just about everywhere else. Even the worst case scenario, a 10% special at Woolies would beat this deal.
at least no more toilet paper deals …… another few weeks and then only soap deals will be coles or woolies 50% off hopefully …. only thing i can’t get regularly is aldi orange juice ……
Aldi orange juice is back! well in melboure at least with a nice $0.50 price increase to go along with it ($4.49 now). I find the woolies house brand for $5.49 is comparable.
It's not available in QLD at all and I'm pretty sure it's made here :(
and $2 more than exactly the same from Aldi
Same in Coles too with other scents. Note: Non-foaming. Found out the hard way…

Coles own brand ones are back on shelf too now at about $2.
