How to Open a Stubborn Shampoo Bottle that Won't Twist Open
Struggling to get that shampoo bottle to twist open? Here's an easy hack.
- Open the dispenser bottle and remove the pump. Rinse the pump off if it has soap, shampoo, lotion or similar product on it so you can get a better grip.
- Hold the pump as shown below with one hand on the base of the pump and one hand on the top. The added grip on the bottom portion of the pump will help it pop right open.
- Twist in the "open" direction (this is often marked on the top of the pump). This should do the trick!
- If it's still stuck, increase your grip by holding the pump base and lid with something like a kitchen towel or rubber gloves and try again.
We open a lot of soap dispenser pumps around here and this trick works 99% of the time.
