What is the shelf life for the bottles of bubbles? How long do the bubbles usually last in the tub and is there a specific amount I need to use?
According to an employee of Bath and Body Works, I was told their products have a shelf life of about 2 years. If you made your own without preservatives, I would think it would be less.
I have had bubbles (like from the drug store) that last for 4-5 several years when the bottle wasn't opened. Open, they lasted up to 3 years. If they smell funny or change color toss them. The bubbles never last long in the tub, even if the mix is good. I haven't found a brand yesterday that lasts more than 10 minutes. That is always so disappointing.
I have been looking for inexpensive, unscented liquid soap. I like to make my own bubble bath soap. I found some at a whole foods store, but it seems to be so expensive. Any other ideas?
I have found Suave Shampoo, diluted a little, makes excellent liquid hand soap. I don't know why it wouldn't work for bubble bath, too. Of course, they are scented, but you could check for the least fragrances.
I use baby shampoo purchased at the dollar store and water it down just a little. It doesn't have much scent and it goes a long way for a little money
