How to Reuse Lotion Pump Dispensers?
Recycling lotion and
soap pump dispensers is a clever idea for reusing them multiple times in your
kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and in the office. There are some lotion pump
dispensers that are made of high-density polyethylene plastic or made from hard
ceramic material. These hard material dispensers can be reused many times by
refilling it with soap, lotion, essential oils, or with baby oil. Also, you can
refill it with aloe vera gel, hand sanitizers, or with your custom-made lotion
with essential oils. Nonetheless, reusing lotion pump dispensers is one way to
reduce plastic from going to the landfills.
Besides refilling the
lotion pump dispensers for your skincare routine, you can use the lotion pump
dispensers as flower vases. You can use real flowers or artificial flowers for decorating
on a budget. It makes a quick and easy way to decorate your home or office.
Before reusing a lotion pump dispenser, remove the labels of the dispenser. Use
vinegar and hot water to wash the inside and outside of the bottle.
Let it air dry. Then,
add water and your flowers or jewelry pearls with the artificial flowers.
Painting the lotion pump dispenser also gives it a personalized look. Make your
flowers using green floral stem wire or use an empty ink pen with green floral
tape for your flower decorations. Nevertheless, make sure your handmade flower
or artificial flowers fit in the dispenser.
Shampoos can also be
added to your refillable lotion pump dispenser. Using refillable shampoos and
your lotion pump dispenser can help you save money. Also, your refillable shampoo
will last longer in the lotion pump dispenser. Similarly, you can do the same
thing with your refillable conditioners. As well as refilling it with your body
wash.
You can use less
shampoo, conditioner, and less body wash by reusing your lotion pump dispenser.
Reusing your lotion pump dispensers is a great way to practice a sustainable
lifestyle. As well as reducing the use of plastic in your home and at work. If your
lotion pump breaks or comes off, you can always reuse the bottle portion for
making your do-it-yourself vases for your flowers. Below are websites with more
