What do you do, if anything, with lotion at the bottom of the bottle?



With lotions in bottles like these, when lotion no longer comes out of the pump, we know there is still some lotion remaining at the bottom of the bottle.
Do you discard the bottle once the pump squirts nothing or do you somehow retrieve that "bottom lotion"?

    Ha! I've enjoyed all the answers but a Pick here because it came out of nowhere and I broadly smiled.  :)

    LOL... Thanks friend!!!  It's so funny, I was looking for a quirky, humorous response and this just popped into my head.  I have no idea where this came from :))

    If it's liquid soap I add a little water to eke out some of it, then either refill the pump-action bottle from a non-pump bottle, or pour the residue from the original to new dispenser. I waste as little as possible!

    Yes, I sort of think along those lines, too. that's why I asked my question. I've done some similar ideas that you've done, too.

    And it's been an interesting read for me, everyone's input.

    Fun to see my question reappear.  :)
