Soap dispensers allow you to offer liquid hand soap by the washbasins in a streamlined and economic way. Users activate the dispenser by pump or sensor and a set amount of hand soap will be ejected onto their hands. 

Why choose soap dispensers?

Rather than use traditional bars of soap, which can become quite messy, liquid soap dispensers allow you to keep your washroom looking slick and smart. Soap dispensers make much less mess around the hand basins, making the washroom easier to clean. They can also be refilled from bulk hand soap containers and their capacity means that these refills don't have to take place very often at all. It’s also possible to have several counter mounted soap dispensers all fed from one large liquid soap reservoir hidden beneath the vanity unit. This makes for maximum efficiency and infrequent refilling.

Things to bear in mind

Soap dispensers are often wall-mounted, due to the frequent use they see you’ll need to ensure they’re installed securely. Soap residue can build up at the spout and at times drip down onto the surface below. For this reason, many counter mounted soap dispensers are designed so that the spout overhangs the washbasin - no mess and easy clean. 

Hidden benefits

There are many sensor-activated soap dispensers available to you these days, offering several benefits. As well as controlling the amount of soap delivered to each user, they never need to physically be touched. This results in an even longer lifespan of the dispenser as well as improving hygiene in your washroom as the spread of bacteria is reduced significantly. 

With the growing need for safe hygiene during this global pandemic, bathroom sanitation is a rising concern for many. Especially since proper hand washing has been cited as an important practice to prevent COVID-19. For this reason, many are considering the adoption of sensor technology and contactless amenities in public and private spaces. This smart technology may be the future of bathrooms to prevent the transmission of germs and bacteria to the maximum extent.

This is because traditional faucets, bar soaps, and liquid soap dispensers see the most frequent contact, even more than the toilet flush. People wash and clean their hands a higher number of times than they use the toilet, and these surfaces become covered with germs. This is only made worse when an individual flushes the toilet and then washes their hands. In this process, the flush handle, faucet spout, and the nozzle of the soap dispenser’s pump become contaminated. Bathroom amenities like automatic soap dispensers and sensor taps, which usually work in conjunction with one another, are being considered more and more in this light.
