    MustangSteve TIP OF THE DAY

    Getting that last bit of hand cleaner out of the pump container.





    Do this, then go drink a cold one. Overnight it will empty into the new container. There is always enough room for the old stuff to drain in the new one.

    When it is done, some will still remain in the handle of the old container.  Just cut the handle off and use that to wash up next time you get to work on the car.  Like Dad always said:  cut AWAY from yourself, not TOWARD yourself.

    Money you enjoy wasting is NOT wasted money... unless your wife finds out.

    I still use Boraxo powder in a dispenser. 

    But if I was to use fast orange or one of the other citrus pumice mixes I would follow the thrifty suggestion.
