I use the same toppers that bartenders use and I use an old liquor bottle with Dawn dishsoap in it. You just have to hold it a few seconds before the flow starts, but other than that, no gunking or sticking. No sucking noise or anything like that. I swapped out tops after about a year.

I wipe it off when I need to, and sometimes let the spout soak for a bit. I have also stuck a pin in the vent (the little hole at the base of the spout) to open it up. It is slow to come out or not coming out at all because the vent is plugged and air can't get in to trade places with the soap. As long as your vent is clear, you are good to go.Brittany Mcdanielnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-38413461107785296732012-12-06T19:49:22.795-07:002012-12-06T19:49:22.795-07:00i have mine like this- but not really using those ...i have mine like this- but not really using those tips that is posted in the pictures. my mom and dad showed me this trick, i fill the bottle about half way with ANY kind of soap i'm wanting to use, then about the second half i fill with water(making sure to fill it slowly AND leaving some room for shaking) then i shake and mix it up and i have NEVER had a clog. it always depends on the tips if you will have rusting or not, but that doesn't personally bother me. but i find i'm using less soap and what i buy lasts forever!!!Kandi Ravernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-82111232092118853522012-12-05T07:56:37.927-07:002012-12-05T07:56:37.927-07:00I've kept my dish soap in a bottle like this f...I've kept my dish soap in a bottle like this for years.

The bottle is so pretty and has etching in it. My solution is to not have a top at all. I have the top completely open, which allows me to pour as much or as little as I'd like, and it's quick to dispense.lil_rag_dollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10567700266252112720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-38785395461434565392012-11-27T08:43:12.444-07:002012-11-27T08:43:12.444-07:00I keep my soap in the container it came in, I gues...I keep my soap in the container it came in, I guess because I'm tacky and awful. :/ Anyway, even with the soap in its original container, sometimes soap gets dried up and gunky around the opening. Having a removable lid/spout sounds pretty vital. A pump would also probably work well, while also lessening the chance of soapy hands dropping the glass bottle.Brigid Keelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09558327183683074633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6299578764487881408.post-1374689546174143342012-11-27T07:53:07.849-07:002012-11-27T07:53:07.849-07:00I have my dish soap (knock-off green apple Dawn) i...I have my dish soap (knock-off green apple Dawn) in a dispenser with a top exactly like the one on the left with the yellow liquid in it.

Or like others have said dilute it with a bit of water not like we're all not going to do that anyways when we use the stuff but I'd be more worried about it separating or bubbling when trying to blend it.

If you have trouble with the soap coming out too slow, the bottle might be too full. I keep mine about half full or a little less. The soap still comes out slower than a plastic squeeze bottle, but that keeps you from using more soap than you need anyway.
