I followed the directions to mix up some hand soap in a pint jar (with the stainless steel soap pump lid) for the bathroom at the library where I work. The resulting soap... isn't very soapy. It takes two or three pumps-worth to do much good in terms of cleaning hands. Still, it works eventually, and I prefer it to the antimicrobial soap in the wall dispenser.
