Cardboard boxes in which washing powder is sold have the unpleasant property of getting wet. And when washing, splashes, puddles on the floor and the need to pick up a pack with wet hands cannot be avoided. Powder in a soggy package is stored worse - it sticks together into clumps and dries to the walls and bottom. We found a more convenient way to store it - we poured it into an empty bubble bath bottle. We will tell you further how we did this and what we achieved.
Operating procedure
1. We will pour the powder from a standard pack weighing 400 g into the empty plastic bottle bubble bath bottle with a capacity of 750 ml.
It has a screw cap with a narrow opening and a protective top. This small hole serves as an excellent dispenser when you only need a small amount of powder. If you need to pour more, the lid can be unscrewed. If splashes get into the narrow neck of the bottle, it is very rare. Puddles on the floor and wet hands he is not at all afraid. So, the powder here will be much better preserved.
2. Remove the sticker from the bottle.
3. All that remains is to pour in the powder.
If there is a suitable funnel, then the matter is small. We are faced with the fact that the powder does not want to be poured into the funnel for liquids - the grains stick to the inner surface of the neck and instantly clog it. Therefore, we built our own disposable funnel with a design that was more suitable for us. For this we needed a square of thick paper measuring approximately 12 by 12 cm, tape and scissors.
We roll up a paper bag. In the middle of the height, we paste a strip of tape around it so that it does not come apart.
We cut off the lower end of the bag diagonally.
4. Insert the funnel into the neck of the bottle.
Pour in the powder. Screw the lid on.
5. This makes it more convenient to store washing powder and use it when washing.
