PROBLEM SOLVEDHas anyone clever figured out how to refill the bottle without running out for more? Prices in NYC are really high!QB members rock!

I need to check into this too. What a moneysaver that would be.

I just followed the directions & it works. Put the lid in boiling water for 30 secs & it twists off!! Refill! Done! Yeah!

I did it without trouble. I cut a little slit on the soft plastic on the top, enough to fit the thin part of a funnel, and fill it up with another cleaner. I like Windex. I bought a bottle six years ago and never bought another one. For a while I was doing it with a 60 mL syringe and a needle hub, but took too long.

It is quite easy to unscrew the cap after 30 secs in hot water. My kids are quite impressed. I watched the guy do it onUTube & wonder what other tricks he has up his sleeve! Started Christmas wreaths today!! Think cool...

Thanks, Dotty!!! Love this idea. $5 a bottle is way too much for me on my tight budget, but I love the convenience of the tool. Janice

I have the "dry" version, and found that an old washcloth fits right onto the pad. Just rinse it out afterwards, and throw it into the washing machine. :thumbup:

Wow, and mine is running out! Thank you! I do make my own pads for it, just with rags, since they just go in the trash anyhow!

I would say we are 'going green'.
