Foaming Soap Dispenser
PSA: Put a foaming soap dispenser at each sink, and refill it with bulk liquid soap diluted at a 6:1 ratio (six parts water to one part soap). The reduction in soap used, while still getting a thorough, sudsy clean, is surprising.
Use less soap. Save money. Clean just as well.
Use Less Soap
A little foamy soap goes a long way.
Save Money
Lower cost per wash than pre-made refills.
Less Packaging Waste
Buy in bulk and reuse refill bottles.
Cleaner Impact
Less surfactant chemicals in wastewater.
The Problem
Standard liquid soap pumps often dispense more soap than necessary, creating more packaging waste and higher costs. Most people don't realize how soap they actually use, or how long one bulk bottle could last.
Foaming soap dispenser mix air into diluted soaps so a small amount delivers the same sudsy clean. One pump delivers great coverage using a fraction of the liquid soap, and one bulk bottle can last for months.
THE FIX IS SIMPLE
Buy a foaming soap dispense for each sink
Buy liquid hand soap in bulk.
How To Set It Up
Mix roughly 1 part soap to 6 parts water.
Refill the foaming dispenser when needed.
Adjust the ratio slightly if needed.
Less soap used per wash means less packaging waste over time.
Diluted soap reduces the amount of surfactant chemicals entering wastewater systems.
Why It Matters
It's noticeably cheaper per wash than pre-made foaming refills.
Small choices like this add up to big impact for people and the planet.
