Finally, a couple of additional laundry detergent bottles that screw together!

Here is what I think is a good way to insure that you do not waste liquid laundry detergent. To make this work, check the threads on the cap and note if they are on the inside or the outside of the cap. If the cap is threaded on the inside, then your next purchase of detergent should have a cap that is threaded on the outside. If your first bottle of detergent has a cap threaded on the outside make sure your next bottle of detergent has a cap threaded on the inside. So far, I’ve discovered that every time I have two bottles of laundry detergent with threaded caps inside and outside, I can screw the two bottles together exactly as if the bottles have their own caps in place.
When a bottle of detergent is low, I simply connect the almost-empty bottle to the new bottle and let it sit on top overnight, but sometimes the bottle on top won’t drain all of the detergent out as it sits this way. After the detergent bottles have been sitting this way for at least eight hours, tip the bottles left and right, forward and back, up to about forty-five degrees while they are still connected, to allow any remaining liquid in the top bottle to flow to the bottom bottle. Once this is done and you are sure all the detergent is out of the top bottle, it can be unscrewed and placed in your recycling container. Of course, if you are fussy about laundry detergent and always want the same brand for example, all of this cannot apply.
Below(for your viewing pleasure) are four more laundry detergent bottles screwed together.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a Trackbackisn’t liquid detergent basically powdered detergent with water added?
what is with these companies that sit around and figure out new ways to sell us water? and the darn tiny vaccumn bags? and the real pisser- the ink cartridges in my printer- they look big but hold about 4 pages worth of ink and have a microchip that prevents reuse/refill. this is proof of the conspiracy. where the hell is david horowitz?
ok, i’m calm now.
thanks weatherman for another useful tip.
my mom was raised post-depression and taught me to rinse and hang dry paper towels to re-use. bless her cheap little heart.
i always dilute my liquid detergents with 50% urine!
it is free, sterile, and always on hand, uh, i mean it is readily available.
the sodium in urine enhances the suffricant effect of the detergents, boosting the effect and as i previously said, rinses away leaving a piney-fresh scent.
There will always still be some detergent stuck to the sides of the container, so the container should be filled with warm water, left to sit for awhile, with the soapy liquid finally being dumped into the washer for a “free” extra load!
why waste the H2O when that wide mouth bottle is just yawning at you? don’t be bashful!
watch the sharp edges.
How do you remedy the bars of soap that are reduced to a tiny sliver? Ever try and stack several of them together-into a soap sandwich? I do, but its not as good as a new one.
I can snap a new bar of soap in half with my bare hands. I can also slice off a chunk with my tattooed hairy arms and buck knife. Feel free to key ahead at any time.
Scandalous!
See here, Swash Buckler; Your brutal brawny-man claims of bar snapping can only be substantiated one way. Post a link to a video of you unwrapping a new, untampered bar (not one of those motel mini-bars) and prove yourself to the digital community.
i just went in the bathroom and tried it myself, you must have arms like Andre the Giant to pull this off.
If the Weatherman can post a video of himself fondling the springy lips of robo-santa, or swallow a microphone, you can do it too.
Post the video, and i will send Don Joyce 100 Swedish Kronor in the mail (+/-16$,US)
I do this with dish soap.
And if anyone has a remedy for the soap sliver problem, I’d appreciate if they’d clue us in. They get all hard and nasty and you can’t get any soap off them onto your hands.
DIRT BOMB is a “cake” of soap-much better. Thats all we use, gets out chocolate and other sticky stains.
What happened to the good old days when you would have included a hand written drawing and explanation? Ah, the pitfalls and trappings of technology. P.S. Aren’t you worried about all the germs on the keyboard?
Occasionally a well-fed mite pops up from under my space bar. There must be a whole colony under there living off the constant rain of dandruff from my flakey scalp.
I know you! You are so cheap that you do the same with a bottle of Fantastik and one of Formula 409, then claim it is 409! I know ONE place where the Weatherman is dirty! OINK!
This is all just a big cover up, designed to distract people away from your association with the Reagan administration-yeah im that good.
Thank you for all of these comments. I know I’m slow to respond and I apologize. By the way, if you can screw together the caps of two laundry detergent bottles, the bottles will connect together.
Those bottles look like they are tea-bagging each other!
This was a fun for the whole family thread until mark soiled it all up with nasty potty-talk.
Fucking GENIUS.
God dammit, I wish I would have thought of it first.
from the picture it seems that there are only ridges on the “female” bottle, as opposed to threads. this would imply a forceful, popping penetration as opposed to a gentle consensual twisting screw.
Do the bottles ever become locked together ? Do the female ridges become stretched out from use? Do the male ridges become too soft to penetrate the female bottle in a satisfactory manner? Is additional lubrication ever needed to acheive proper penetration?
I do this with most cleaners and soaps. If the bottles won’t screw together, I simply balance one on top of the other. Sometimes the bottle on top will fall off, but usually that doesn’t happen because of suction.

Now I’m really confused-
Again.
I am fairly brand new to this sort of forum discussion stuff yet Im enthusiastic to aid and learn a great deal, I am hoping. Specifically in respect health and fitness and also the certain areas of diet and in my instance physical exercise.
Anyhow, just saying howdy and wish to get along with for some time.
I didn’t think there would be this much interest in laundry detergent.
Just imagine that all I’m concerned with is laundry detergent bottles, when such nasty things are happening around the world today!
Just a reminder to Swash Buckler, the 100 Kronor “offer” still stands.
Nice!
