| After looking at some amazing laundry rooms I was wondering how I could spruce mine up. My laundry room just has a shelf above the washer/dryer. I have nowhere to hide anything and hiding the laundry detergent is just inconvenient.
I was wondering if something like this would work for laundry detergent http://www.dillards.com/product/Home-Essentials-Del-Sol-2.75Gallon-Dri nk-Dispenser_301_-1_301_502222122 Or would it just get clogged up and be a waste of money? I actually saw something just like that at Walmart made of plastic that I'm sure would be a heck of a lot cheaper... |

| That's a interesting idea... I do know that when I have had the big detergent bottles that have the dispenser on them.. I have had to put a folded up wash cloth underneat to catch drips. I just can't imagine that you would not have to do the same with this dispenser. Be sure to let us know if you try it and how it works... |

| FYI....I was in Big Lots yesterday and they had a very pretty, square glass drink dispenser for 9.99. If you have a Big Lots near you, you might want to check it out. It held 1.32 gallons. |

| Thanks. I saw a decent looking one at Walmart that was plastic. I probably won't be trying this for awhile. If anyone else has any thoughts or comments I'd appreciate it. |

| Maybe this is a dumb question, but why not just buy detergent in a container which already has a dispenser on it? Large bulk sizes, such as those sold in warehouse stores, typically come in such containers, and their unit pricing is typically significantly lower than smaller containers. I even buy fabric softener in this type of container, and save a lot of $$$ by doing so. I don't have a problem with drips, but I am very careful when dispensing the detergent or fabric softener. |

| I do buy the big containers with the dispenser. I was trying to pretty up the laundry room. A big orange container of TIDE is just not pretty. |

| I think it would clog. A repair man told me fabric softener dispenser will clog if you don't dilute the liquid softener with half water. |
