What are the Different Types of Liquid Soap Dispensers?

At one time, the only option for soap was in a bar. Now, liquid soap makes it easier and more convenient for people to wash their hands. Today, there are several styles of soap dispensers available to store liquid soap.

Simple Glass Soap Dispensers
First, there is the Classic Soap Dispenser (or plastic) that is a bottle filled with liquid. It comes with a pump to dispense the liquid. These bottles are simple to refill and easy to use. They are ideal for anywhere around the house, including the bath, kitchen or grill side - and can even be managed by kids.

These bottles come in clear bottles or may have colors and designs on them. They can coordinate with other bathroom items such as toothbrush holder, trash cans and other accessories. They also make ideal gifts for a housewarming or wedding.

Battery Dispensers
Battery-operated dispensers feature a sensor that releases a specified amount of soap. This helps prevent waste and ensure that the person gets enough soap to do the job. Fancier models even come with a timer and light to tell you how long to wash your hands to remove the germs. These battery-operated models can be placed on a counter-top or attached to the wall. Just place it where everyone can reach it. They are ideal for those who do not wish to pump, but can be more maintenance because of the battery replacement and the extra steps in refilling.

Shower Dispensers
Shower dispensers often do double-duty. They hold two liquids – one is a soap and the other is shampoo. Press the lever for the one you need, and it will dispense the proper amount. They either attach to the shower wall or the shower door, and it is within easy reach. It also cuts down on the clutter of bottles kept in the shower. You can even install a second dispenser for the shower that would hold two other shampoos to provide easy access for the entire family.

Soap dispensers come in a variety of styles, sizes and designs. Choose one or more and place them where they work best for your home. They offer convenience and cost savings and are a practical addition to your bathroom and kitchen.
