I use Bath & Body works moisturizing hand soap which is pretty expensive. There is always some left at the bottom of the bottle. I don't want to throw it out, but what exactly do you do with that amount? If I leave the bottle out no one uses it and since we don't use the same scent all the time I usually don't have another bottle to dump it out into (of course at the end of that bottle the same issue would be present). Any ideas?

I am with you there . I just HATE to waste anything , if I have anything left like this I take it into the shower with me and hold it under the shower head to let some water in it , I then give it a really good shake and you can get quite a bit more this way , I always do this with shampoo and conditioner bottles as well , xx

There are two ways to salvage that last bit of soap. One, leave the container upside-down overnight so that all the soap drains into the cap. Then carefully open it over a bowl or shallow dish and you can scoop it to use from there.
Or, you can add a small amount of water, swish it around and use that as your soap until it is gone.
Hope this helps!

Old trick from prison will solve this. You see we seldon had anything worth while so when we had something good like some decent lotion we had to make it stretch. Well your situation is slightly different. Simply cut the bottom off near where the remaining portion is and dip your hand in or place it into a better small purse size container.

Oh my gosh I thikn I have the most sensible idea for solving your problem. I cant believe I have solved this.
Obviously this is something you byu often.
When it gets to the bottom go out adn buy a new one and put the "done" one in the cupboard (away from sunligth), use the new one til it is done and also place in cupboard, go out and buy third bottle and just pour it into both of them. So you will have too half filled bottles and continue to buy and split between two bottles as usual.
I hope that is okay for you are I know it isn't ideal really but it will mean you will use it all as trying topour everythign out a full bottle is possible whereas very little out an empty bottle is impossible.
Let me know what you think of this idea.
