Recently there was a television program giving tips on how to save money.
One piece of advice was to save the dispensers of liquid hand soap, and
refill them with 'bubble bath'. Which did the same job at a fraction of the
cost.
What I'm wondering is, what could I add to make it 'anti-bacterial' and how
much of it to add to what volume of bubble bath?

How about Tea Tree oil?
One source on the web says 4ml to 200ml soap, but it would be worth
poking about for more info.
(Usual caveats about not using it if pregnant or breastfeeding - I'm
guessing from your name that you're neither, but just in case any of
the users might be).

Dettol might be suitable. As a capful is enough for a bath, you
wouldn't need very much.

There's an enormous list of safe cheap microbicides, take your pick.
I'm not sure its a healthy practice though, the idea that these washes
mean less bugs means less risk is significantly too simplistic.

We simply dilute the normal anti-bacterial hand wash by at least 50%
with water(*). You don't need anything like the quantity of neat hand
wash that a normal press of the dispenser produces.
Last lot I did was 50% but I think it could take more dilution maybe
up to 60 or 70% total and still be effective as a cleaner.
