Do you need a special pump for foaming hand soap?
Specialized dispensers are required to use foaming hand soap properly. One chamber holds soap and one pumps air into the dispensing unit when the pump is depressed. Pressurized dispensers are usually automatic and activated by placing hands directly underneath them.
Can you make your own foaming soap dispenser?
Making your own foaming hand soap is so simple. All you need is an empty foaming soap dispenser (I use Bath & Body Works), and a bottle of Liquid Dish Soap or Liquid Hand Soap – you can use any scent – I love lemon for the kitchen. Next, add 1 inch (or a little more if you like) of liquid dish soap to your container.
Is foaming soap just watered down soap?

How do you make regular soap into foaming soap?
How to Make It
- Fill an empty soap dispenser about three-quarters of the way full with clean, warm water.
- Pour one tablespoon of liquid hand soap into the container, screw on the top and shake vigorously to mix the soap and water together.
- Then pump the dispenser a few times to get the foaming action started.
Why do my foam soap pumps stop working?
If you don’t use your foaming pump frequently enough, any soap trapped in the mechanism can dry and cause the pump to stick or fail. Just remove the pump top and place in a glass of water. Keep pressing until clear water is being dispersed. Then try again with your bottle.
How do you fix a foamy bottle?
If you love to use soap nut foam, then perhaps you might need to unclog your foam pump bottle more frequently. A possible suggestion to help with this issue is to add in one or two tablespoon of liquid soap such as Dr Bronner’s liquid soap into soap nut liquid to lubricate the spring at the neck for it to work better.
How can I make my soap more foamy?
Different oils give different amounts and different types of lathers, so many soap makers turn to sugar to increase the suds. Adding a bit of sugar to a soap recipe can help make a light, bubbly lather with large bubbles when the oils you’re using do not lather up as much as you’d like.
