Regular liquid soap may not work well in a foaming dispenser as it may not produce the same foaming effect as foaming soap. Foaming soap is typically diluted and has a specific formula designed to work with the foaming mechanism of the dispenser. Using regular liquid soap may clog or damage the foaming mechanism over time.

Can you use dish soap to make foaming soap instead of liquid soap?

Yes. Take one teaspoon of dish liquid--any kind--and add it to water. Fill up your foam dish liquid dispenser and shake. That's all there is to it. Saves lots of money.


How do you make foaming soap?

Foaming soap dispensers were invented about 15 years ago by a Dutch company called Airspray. The best way for consumers to get a foaming soap dispenser is to buy one at a retail store. Some empty foamers are sold, but most come with soap already in them. My personal favorite in the US are the foamers from a company called Method. Their foamers are available for $3-4 from most Target stores. The solution for foaming soap is far more dilute than regular liquid soaps. If you start with a solution 10% liquid soap and 90% distilled water, you will be pretty close. I recommend distilled water because you'll get consistent repeatable results with that. Foaming soap is always white; the only reason you'll get some other color is if the soap is over-concentrated. You CANNOT make foaming soap from a lotion. It will not work. If you try, the lotion will splatter and sputter.


How do you put soap in the soap dispenser?

If it is jar soap dispenser, I'm unscrewing the pomp and I'm pouring some liquid soap through the hole to the inside of the jar. But if it is automatic soap dispenser I'm putting the liquid soap into the container, which I must primary open ( just like a box)


Is it okay to recycle a liquid soap dispenser or should I purchase a new one?

It is okeay to recycle a liquid soap dispenser. Many soaps have big refill bottles that can be used to refill old dispensers. It is quite easy to recycle liquid soap dispensers. I do it often. I will buy a soap dispenser that I like and refill it with generic liquid soap.


Do liquid soap dispensers cause the soap to evaporate?

Liquid soap dispensers do not cause the soap to evaporate. Evaporation occurs when a liquid turns into a gas at room temperature without any external influence. The design of the dispenser is meant to prevent evaporation and dispense liquid soap efficiently.

Can foaming hand soap work in a non-foaming dispenser?

From first hand experience, foaming hand soap will work in a non-foaming dispenser. Although the soap will come out as regular soap, not foam. The foaming soap will work as regular soap, just not foaming soap.

How to Choose a Liquid Soap Dispenser for Your Child’s Bathroom?

Keeping clean hands in a busy household may be a priority, but it can be difficult to remind kids to wash their hands throughout the day. While you may have your own techniques for reminding kids, such as sticker charts or post-it notes, one thing is for certain; you will need a kid-friendly liquid soap dispenser. Liquid soap dispensers are much cleaner than reusing bars of soap, plus they are much neater and eliminate soap suds throughout the bathroom. Since you want your kids washing their hands regularly throughout the day, there are certain liquid soap dispensers that make the job easier. First, choose a liquid soap dispenser that is kid-friendly in appearance. Perhaps letting your child pick one out with you will give him or her more ownership over the dispenser, wanting to use it more often. Also choose a dispenser that is easy to keep clean, as kids generally grab soap dispensers by the base, leaving behind fingerprints. Most importantly, choose a dispenser that isn’t made from ceramic, which could be a huge hazard if dropped on the floor and broken. Instead, look for durable plastic materials that are resistant to fingerprints and shatterproof. Gone are the days when a liquid soap dispenser was just pump-n-go. Now, there are foaming dispensers and electric dispensers, adding a whole new element to washing hands. Keep in mind however, that these types of dispensers are more expensive to maintain, as foaming ones can only use foaming soaps, and electric dispenser require batteries and special cartridges. Nevertheless, these can serve as fun alternatives to traditional dispensers, giving small hands just the right amount of soap to wash with. Electric dispensers are especially handy for placing throughout the home where counter space may be limited. Once you have chosen the appropriate soap dispenser, be sure that you stock up on soap to refill the dispenser with. Fun scents make washing hands more appealing for kids, such as a cucumber melon or bubble gum scent. Also be sure to place the dispenser in an easy-to-reach location so that kids remember to wash throughout the day. Every so often, the liquid soap dispenser will need to be cleaned to prevent blockages or buildup.
