With the COVID-19 pandemic, washing hands is essential for decontaminating and reducing the spread of disease. Foam soap dispensers help reduce germs on your hands and are more cost-effective than regular liquid soap. Foaming dispensers work by pumping air into watery soap to produce foam. They can be filled with diluted regular soap or a natural homemade formula.
1. Foaming Soap Dispensers Are Easy To Operate
Unlike regular soap dispensers that dispense liquid soap, foaming soap dispensers create a thick lather by combining air with the liquid soap inside the bottle when it’s pumped. This allows for less soap to be used and it also requires less water to rinse the hands. Foaming soap dispensers can be filled with any liquid hand or dish soap and can be mixed with a combination of water, essential and carrier oils to create your own special recipe. Generally, you will want to use a ratio of 4:1 soap-to-water in order to have an effective mix for your foaming soap.
Many of our foaming soap dispensers are bulk fill, which means they can be topped up from large bottles that are less expensive and easier to recycle than individual bottles. They also allow you to switch between different soap formulations if desired without having to invest in new dispensers.
2. They Are Easy To Clean
When you ask janitors about what they’d like to see improved in public restrooms, soap dispensers are often near the top of the list. Keeping them fully stocked with high-quality soap helps reduce germs and the number of people that leave the bathroom without washing their hands at all. However, many soap dispensers are difficult to clean and maintain because they require a special pump to create foam. Fortunately, you can use regular dispensers that are filled with diluted soap if they have the correct valves. Foaming soap dispenser are also easier to keep clean because they don’t clog as easily. By following some simple tips, you can keep your dispensers looking great and functioning well.
3. They Are Easy To Maintain
Foam soap dispensers have a separate chamber that infuses air with liquid soap as it exits the pump, creating a rich, foamy lather. These are a popular choice for commercial and public restrooms because they provide a more thorough hand cleaning and can reduce cross-contamination. Liquid soap tends to create a messy pool of soap around the sink that can be difficult to clean up, especially in high-traffic areas. Foam soap prevents this, making it easier to maintain sanitary conditions.
One important tip for foaming soap dispenser maintenance is to always order the right type of soap. The wrong type may clog the equipment and require costly repairs. To avoid this, opt for natural Castile soap with no added chemicals or artificial ingredients. It’s also biodegradable and non-toxic, reducing environmental concerns.
4. They Are Easy To Add Soap
Foaming soap dispensers contain a separate chamber for liquid soap that’s infused with air when pressure is applied to pump it, which creates foam. These dispensers are easy to add soap to and don’t require much more work than regular liquid dispensers. Most foaming soaps come pre-lathered, making them easy to use and helping to reduce bacterial growth. They also dispense from the top, which reduces gravity leaks and soap stains that can be hard to clean for cleaning staff.
Many people say that they don’t wash their hands in public restrooms because the dispensers are empty or jammed, but a high-quality automatic soap dispenser can help prevent this. These dispensers are optimally designed to dispense the right amount of soap and can be used with either a bottle of liquid or soap tablet.
