Can you mix liquid hand soaps?

Since they are both soap, they should have the same properties, so you could stir them to mix. To make it easier, warm the liquids by filling a bowl of hot water and placing the soap dispenser in there a few minutes. The heat will make the soap thinner. Now stir the soaps and they should mix.

How do you dilute liquid soap?

The recommended dilution rate is 4:1 water to paste. Diluting the soap is super simple. In a large pot, bring distilled water to a boil. It’s important to use distilled water, as tap water can have microbes or trace metals.

Which of the following liquids do not mix with water?

Oil and water are said to be “immiscible,” because they do not mix. The oil layer is on top of the water because of the difference in density of the two liquids. The density of a substance is the ratio of its mass (weight) to its volume. The oil is less dense than the water and so is on top.

Is diluted soap still effective?

Liquid hand soap is still effective after a splash of water—phew—with one caveat. “As long as there’s surfactant, you will be able to remove [germs], although you may need more as dilution increases,” explains Tetro.

Can I mix two different soaps?

It might not be observably different. The foaming test could cast some light on the effectiveness: If you can test the foaming (height of foam and time stability) of the original solutions and of the mixture, and if they are all the same (+/- ~10-20\%), the combination is probably OK.
