Have you heard about the powers of boiling water? I'll be honest, I've heard about this trick for well over a year now, and have never tried it. Tonight, I unleashed my magical homemaking skills and boiled water.
I then held the tops of those Lysol No Touch Hand Soap System soap dispensers. They are the ones that are basically impossible to screw the lid off. Rigged! Rigged I tell you! The same goes for those Swiffer Wet Jet Refills.
Anyway, you hold the top in boiling water, take it out, unscrew the cap and voila! It comes right off!
Now I can enjoy the excitement of my Lysol No Hand Touch Soap System without having to spend $4 on the refill. (I'm sorry, I can find Up & Up Generic Soap in a massive refill bottle for under $4... let alone ONE dinky size Lysol Refill for $4!)
Needless to say, I'm very thrilled off of this!

Hi what a good tip to share! I use normal soap dispensers with screw top lids. I buy the cheap refill and fill the empty container just over half full and then add water to dilute it, then shake it. Much cheaper! I have to do this, because my kids just press away with out thinking so I use less soap now, plus they love it a bit frothy! Saw you on blog hop, now google following you, please pop by, Karima x
Clever. I would do the same thing if it meant I could save money!
Anyway, new follower here. Have a great Monday and visit my blog sometime. :)
