Solved technology
It pretty much solves refilling. It does come with a trade-off, the time it takes to lather.
If a soap is hard to lather the issue is more likely your water than the soap. Hard water makes soap hard to lather and makes soap scum much much more prevalent.
I just want to point out for a lot of people complaining abojt how often you refill your soap dispenser: consider how much soap you’re actually using.
Most of the world lives in a consumerist, capitalist society. Overconsumption is encouraged by pretty much everything around us. When you see an ad for a product, or even just look at the pictures on the packaging, the people shown using it often use way too much.
Laundry detergent for example. You only need a tiny bit, and studies gave repeatedly shown that thr pods of liquid are waaaaay too much detergent for a load, to the point where it is actually harmful to the washing machine.
Motor oil is another one. If you look on the bottle it probably days to change your oil every 3,000 miles, but if you read your car’s manual it likely says to change it every 10,000 miles, or more.
Toothpaste is another. You should use a pea-sized amou t of toothpaste to brush your teeth, but all of the pictures and artwork and graphics show a toothbrush oveflowing with 5-10 times that amount.
For soap dispenser that you pump, you absolutely do not need to use a full pump of soap to wash your hands. Each dispenser and soap brand is a little different, but with attention and practice you can get a feel for how much soap you actually need to wash your hands. The added benefit is that it saves the time it takes to rinse off all tbe unnecessary soap.
This is absolutely right.
Our kitchen sink has a soap dispenser. It had this stupid tiny little bottle that you had to refill from the top while you couldn’t see how much was in it so I had to put a flashlight underneath and then lean over while I pour trying not to spill. Screw that.
I bought a kit on Amazon to fix it. You remove the bottle entirely, and then connect to the bottom of the pump a PVC tube with a check valve. On the other end of the hose there’s a bunch of different size lids for whatever brand of soap you have.
Now I buy the soap in bulk, stick the bulk pack under the sink with the hose stuck in it. This runs out about once a year and when it does I just buy another bulk pack and swap it out.
Worth every penny.
Another thing, for the bathroom. Get a large foaming soap dispenser. And then get the soap that comes as tablets. Fill the soap dispenser with hot water and then drop in one or two tablets. They fizz like Alka-Seltzer and when they dissolve the result is foaming soap liquid.
Ty! Great tips
Get these. Life-changing. They’re designed to dispense soap or sauce. Mix them up for a truly exciting life!
I just keep a gallon jug of fast orange.
I saw this and immediately thought “oh no, please no more soapy titty memes”
Same as trash bins!
I agree. Why TF do I have to refill the soap every week. Why can’t I refill once a year.
I tried to buy foaming soap because I had to refill less often, but no one offers refills 😡Foaming is much better, doesn’t just slide off and run down the drain once the water hits. Bath and Body Works has foaming refills on their website.
There’s this concept called lathering, I think it’ll change the way you look at soap.
Oh, where have you been these past decades, hoarding the wisdom to rub my hands together?
Or you can buy foaming dispensers that you fill with like 25% regular soap and 75% water and it’ll foam up.
Most liquid soaps are pretty nutritious for microbes and don’t contain enough preservatives to stop them growing if they’re diluted, so this is probably not a great idea if you’re not buying specific concentrated soap that’s intended to be diluted.
I love how the comment chain started with complaining about it being time consuming and it ended with suggesting a more time consuming method.
Next thing you know, your checking fucking pH balances and shit.
That’s the only way in my house! Muji’s soap dispensers last for years and you only need to dilute regular handwash with water to make it work.
If your foam quickly falls flat, try adding some glycerin!
Don’t you rub the soap around first?
Of course. Probably part of the issue is that liquid dispensers also dispense far too much soap for a single hand washing. I think they could be set to about 1/4 to 1/5 of the current amount and still have plenty.
That seems completely different. I use non-foaming soap at home and can get out exactly as much soap as I want by pressing the dispenser head less (or more, or multiple times). If I didn’t lather it, sure, it’d run off with the water. But I do, and so it doesn’t.
If you’re getting so much soap that it’s washed away even after lathering, I don’t see how foaming soap is going to help with that.
This reminds me of a thing, I like to have a pump soap dispenser by the kitchen sink filled with dish soap, so that a quick wash of something is easier.
Allow me to introduce you to a spray bottle with water and a little bit of dishsoap.
I do this, it’s a game changer not just for dishes but all kinds of cleanup jobs.
OP, are you just trying to recreate a public bathroom in your home? It’s OK if you are, but in combination with your other meme like this it’s oddly specific lol
Well look at fancy pants over here with a wife, while I can’t even afford soap…
First you get the soap, then you get the money, then you get the wife.
Just wait until OP finds out about industrial kitchens…
Already got a semi-industrial kitchen 😅
May I introduce your wallet to webstaurantstore.com?
This is no longer a safe space for my wallet
Seriously… why refill it so often?!
And you needed to actually EXPLAIN your reason?
