Control the pumped amount of liquid soap or dish washing liquid, by tying a rubber band around the stem of the push down dispenser. Adjust it until you get the desired amount. It will help save soap.

What an easy & great savings tip. Thanks.
I think the best part of this is, most folks will never notice the rubber bands. I've learned from experience, it takes very little soap to get your hands squeaky clean.
I like this idea, have tried it and it really works, just enough to wash your hands. It's like having a measured amount each time.
Thank you for sharing this.
My problem is getting the last 2 inches of soap out of the dispenser.
Anyone have a solution to that?
What en excellent tip! I am forever trying to half pump & always get more than I need. Thanks so much for sharing this simple yet effective idea.
God's Blessings to you
