Refilling the "un"refillables

We love using the Lysol No Touch Soap Dispenser. When it came time to get a refill bottle we went to our local Wal-Mart (because we all know its the cheapest) to look for the refills. Needless to say you can't buy just 1 bottle, you have to buy a double pack for $7.50 and there was no way I was going to spend that much. We were also looking for a new Wet Jet refill ($5.22) too. I went looking through youtube at the different videos showing the different ways to refill these types of bottles. Below is the easiest way I found to refill these "un"refillable bottles.

Lysol No Touch Soap Dispenser


Use whatever type of liquid hand soap you want.

Heat up a cup of water in the microwave for about 1min 30sec. The water needs to be very hot. Hold the dispensing end in the water for at least 30 sec.
 
 
After it has sat in the hot water for a little bit, twist the top a little bit and pull. The top should pop off. **Remember** it is in really hot water so the plastic will be hot. I used a rag to help pull it off.
 
 

Using whatever liquid hand soap you want, fill the bottle almost full. Place the top back on the bottle. Twist slightly and press gently. It should snap back on. Make sure it is on tight.
 
 
Now your bottle is ready to use again.
 
 
 
Wet Jet Bottle Refill
 
Heat up the cup of water for about 1min 30sec. The water needs to be very hot. Hold the bottle in the hot water for about 30sec.
 

 The cap should twist off. **Remember** it has been in very hot water, so the plastic will be hot. Use a rag or something to protect your hands
 
 
Use 1/4 cup of your favorite floor cleaner. Before you pour in the cleaner, fill the bottle with water. Do not fill it all the way up. Fill it to just above the top of the label, then add your cleaner. This should cut down on the amount of bubbles you get in the bottle.

 
Screw the cap back on tight.
 
Its ready to use again.
 
If you were to buy both the refills for the hand soap and the wet jet it would cost roughly $12.72 plus tax.
If you were to refill the bottles at your house, the hand soap would cost about $.82 and the wet jet would cost about $.14. These prices do depend on the cost of the product you use to refill them with. However you can see that it will significantly cut your costs.
