End of Gallon?

GymBunny · ‎03-14-2010

I'm new to Wen and ordered the gallon size in June. What do you do when you can't get any more pumped out, but have quite a bit left? I was wondering if this would happen. Tips and tricks? Thanks so much!

QVC used to sell these bottle caps that had tripod legs that let you sit the bottle upside down, so you could get everything used out of them. I can't remember what they are called, I'm sorry, but if they still have them they'll be in the kitchen items section. I think other people use other ways, like mixing formulas into a "Franken-bottle", or diluting the CC with distilled water so it pours out more easily, and there may be other gadgets sold elsewhere that would work the same way the gadgets I got from QVC do to stand a bottle upside down and keep it stable, I don't know, but I hope others chime in so you can have some options to weigh. I'll go hunting the Q's website to see if I can find the things I bought a few years ago, and edit this post with an item number if i find it.

GOT IT! It's item number M115659, the Flip-it set of no-more-waste bottle caps.

Wow, I've never seen those upside down bottle caps, that's a great idea. I generally stand mine in the bathtub and lean it against the side. I leave it open and have it draining into a lock and lock which I will later put in the shower. Works for me

They're called "Flip-it"...on Amazon...they're fabulous!

Hi there! Here's what I do. Now, first of all you MUST be adept with a box cutter because they can cut your arm off. Anyway, I just cut it open, throw away the top half and spoon all the left at the bottom into a 32oz. bottle that's half full. I have a few always around and I just fill them all up. To me, it matters not which scent mixes with which. AGAIN, you MUST be good at handling such a tool. I was not when I began domestic chores and got cut constantly. I should have bought stock in the band aid company! LOL! Anyway, you could add water but I don't like to dilute it, it gets to runny. However, that's my two cents. Hope this helps.

I just noticed, I bought those flip its too but tossed 'em. It just didn't work well enough for me. I'm glad it worked for others though. I just feel that with my method, I get every drop. Not knocking those that like them though. XO

I turned it upside down over a 32-ounce bottle and let it drain into that bottle.
