  • 1L Japanese Cherry Blossom out of stock

    • Thanks! Updated the post. Would suggest to refresh every now and then in case Amazon open the item up for backorder.

    • Lime and Mint too

    You can refill these foamers with regular liquid hand soap, just fill 90% with water first, then the rest with soap, shake well. Done.

    • +1

      so like 90% water and 10% those hand soap refills, like palmolive/aldi liquid handwash refills are fine? not a scientist but does that reduce the effectiveness of soap?

      edit: nvm i googled it, seems right!

      • +2

        You can use any liquid soap, but these are a more concentrated formula that are pre-dilluted for foaming purposes.

        • +1

          If making your own, just pump it ten times to get as much soap as you normally would get one from one pump.

      Saves me buying one of these now…

    • Tried this with Palmolive hand soap refill. 1 litre.
      (Palmolive naturals milk and honey refill)
      Not this particular brand of foaming bottle, but another one, and doesn't work so well.
      An old Dettol 'touch of foam' 250ml squirt bottle.

      Maybe it has a different mechanism inside

        You have to get the ratio right, too much or too little water and it won't foam. 90% water seems too much from my experience, I think more around 60/40 to 70/30 is about right.

        • +2

          I go about 70/30 but the thing i found made a big difference to getting it to foam well was boiling the water before hand (obviously wait for it to cool afterwards)

      • I had the same experience - unless the ratio was spot on, there wasn't enough bubbly stuff (sodium lauryl sulfate?) to make it actually 'foam' properly. Too much, and it was too thick to foam properly.

        Since then I have moved to simple dishwashing liquid. It's been amazing, and has the added bonus of working as a quick soap-squirter for when you want to clean a single dish.

    • That's exactly what I do, use a old aldi foamer bottle with a palmolive (This one when half price https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/379972/pal… ) 90% water then put a bit of it in. First couple of pumped are usually a bit thick, but after that works great and heaps cheaper.

    • If you're adding water, then you're going to be introducing bacteria to the soap. And especially if that bottle is going to be used for some time.

  • Does this "natural essential oil" kills germ effectively?

    • Any soap or handwash will kill germs by physically destroying the cell of the bacteria or other germs.

    Good dea, though It'd better if it's anti-bacteria given the current situation.

    • +5

      If you mean COVID then if not using a disinfectant then hand washing for a decent amount of time is the goal. It's a virus, so soap that's antibacterial or not makes no real difference….

    • +1

      The lime & mint is antibacterial. You should use sanitiser instead of soaps though.

      • This is not good advice. Soap & water is recommended as the best method for washing hands to deactivate SARS-CoV-2, and use of hand sanitiser is recommended when soap & water might not be available (e.g. when travelling).
        https://www.science.org.au/curious/people-medicine/hand-sani…

        In addition, hand sanitisers are not very effective against norovirus, a virus which affects the digestive system. A recent norovirus outbreak on the Gold Coast is thought to possibly have occurred because the increase in use of hand sanitiser meant people were washing their hands with soap and water less often.

      This post has gone viral.

  • I got something like extra 15% off eligible items with prime15 code minimum $39 order what is that?

  • Can you price match at Chem Warehouse?

    • I haven't had luck getting them to match Amazon. Have always been told it needs to be a brick and mortar store for them to price beat. That's my experience though!

  • Even cheaper now, $3.25 for 1L

    Edit: It was the non foaming version

    The best and most consistent way of preventing the spread of the coronavirus (and obviously other virus and bacteria also) is washing your hands with soap and warm water.
    None of these handwashes or sanitisers are as effective.

      Source?

      • https://www.tga.gov.au/hand-sanitisers-information-consumers….

        "Soap and water is most effective for hand washing
        The Department of Health recommends that you use soap and water wherever possible, but hand sanitiser where soap and water may not be available. Further tips on good hand hygiene during COVID-19(link is external) are available on the Department of Health website."

    • The CDC recommends liquid hand wash over soap as soap can hold bacteria after being used. However, against COVID19 anything that can break down the fatty layer of the virus will kill the virus, so hand wash or soap will do just fine. Hand sanitisers on the other hand have been shown in research to not be as effective against both bacteria and common flus/viruses. There's a study that used bread to show this.

    I can never seem to get the subscribe and save free delivery… I tried 1 month interval. Still no luck, what am I doing wrong? Not a prime member

  • I've always bought the normal soap liquid, mixed it with water into the empty foam dispenser, and it'll come out as foam hand wash. 1L bottle lasts months, at half the cost.

    • For some reasons this method brings inconsistent results - sometimes the foam is okay, sometimes it's more watery, sometimes it's not foam at all. It could be because of different proportions, as I don't measure exact amounts of soap and water, or it could be just different brands/varieties/batches of liquid soap that I use. Anyway, factory-made foaming refills produce richer foam than any DIY alternatives that I tried to make so far.

      • +5

        3/4 Soap, 1/4 warm water, tumble it up and down (but not shake) a few times until desired result. I have found the foaming to be very consistent and produces good amount of it as well.

        Life hacks lol…

        • Just tried it. Works :) we just gave up so we always have normal liquid soap inside the foamy thing

        • And that's what i was doing wrong
          Adding to much water
          Or shaking it

          So will try 3/4 soap and 1/4water and tip up and down
