Step 1 of 5
I used an empty foaming soap pump I already had and put a little dawn in the bottom. I would suggest 3 or 4 tablespoons of soap. You can adjust this if you want it more soapy or less.

Fill the rest with water. Leave room for the large pump. You also want a little air space because it is easier to mix the soap in. Put the lid back on tight and give a little shake.

The pump is what makes it foam up. So you can put this pump on any container it will fit. Even punch a hole in a mason jar lid and glue the pump in place for a nice country look in your kitchen.

I have also used a spray bottle but didn't like it as much.

The other great idea is to use a spray bottle and do the same thing.. works great and is slightly easier to use.
