Ever tried making your own bubble solutions, but weren’t so impressed with the results? Here’s a few tips before you start:
- Choose the right solution: hand washing detergents work best as machine detergents contain anti-foaming agents
- Make it green: select an eco friendly detergent
- Let it stand: allow it to sit in an open container overnight and your bubbles will last up to two-thirds longer!
- Keep it clean: protect your solution and wands from contaminants: dust, dirt, fingerprints, that’ll burst your bubbles, literally
