A soap dispenser is one of the most commonly used accessories in the bathroom. Nowadays, a soap or antibacterial liquid dispenser has become the most hygienic solution. Traditional bars of soap have become a thing of the past. Below, we will advise you on what to pay attention to when choosing a dispenser, and we will also introduce you to the types of dispensers. Our article will help you choose a soap dispenser that will perfectly suit your bathroom.
Soap dispenser - why should it be in every bathroom?
On the market, we can find a huge array of bathroom accessories designed to facilitate handwashing. Until recently, soap dishes were the most popular in home bathrooms. However, they have been displaced by soap dispensers. This change has occurred for several reasons, including the fact that liquid soaps are definitely more convenient. Moreover, it is also a more hygienic solution, as we do not have to touch the soap that someone else has already used.
Additionally, traditional soaps left unsightly residue on soap dishes. Often, removing it was difficult or impossible. Soap dispensers help us maintain not only hand hygiene but also the cleanliness of the bathroom. Another advantage is that they allow us to use the right amount of soap for hand washing. But how should we choose the ideal dispenser? It's not a simple task, as dispensers are made of various materials. They also differ in dispenser capacity and the way the soap is dispensed.
Touchless dispenser or pump soap dispenser - which is better?
As we mentioned before, choosing a soap dispenser is not easy. We have automatic dispensers to choose from, which are characterized by motion sensors. This special sensor equipped in the dispenser detects our hand and dispenses the appropriate amount of soap. Thanks to the motion sensor, this soap dispenser does not have to be touched by us. Such a special soap dispenser with a motion sensor is most popular in public restrooms, not only for liquid soap but also for disinfectants. It is the most hygienic product. However, it is also a convenient solution for our home bathroom.
A touchless dispenser works great if we have small children at home. The soap dispenser will automatically dispense liquid soap into our children's hands. The practical pump of the dispenser can represent not much of a problem, but rather a great opportunity for fun. This may end with cleaning the entire bathroom.
We can also choose a dispenser for our bathroom that dispenses liquid soap using a pump. Such a soap dispenser is the most popular solution in Polish homes. The practical pump has stolen our hearts. It is also definitely cheaper than the touchless soap dispenser, and we do not have to remember to regularly change the batteries in the dispenser.
Installation method of handwashing accessories
Liquid soap and disinfectant dispensers also differ from each other in terms of their installation method. The installation of the dispenser is just as important as the way it dispenses soap. So which soap accessory to choose? Among them, we can distinguish:
- a wall-mounted liquid soap dispenser without drilling,
- a hanging soap dispenser,
- a free-standing liquid dispenser,
Wall-mounted soap dispenser without drilling
This is a soap dispenser that we can install in a non-invasive way. A characteristic feature of this dispenser is that it comes with suction cups or special adhesive tape. Non-invasive installation of the soap dispenser is significant if we do not want or cannot drill into the walls.
Hanging soap dispenser
This is also a suitable model of a dispenser to be mounted on the wall. However, with these soap dispensers, we are forced to drill holes in the bathroom tiles. The set for such dispensers comes with special anchors. These dispensers, unlike their predecessors, will not fall off the wall due to gravity.
Free-standing soap dispenser
This is a very popular solution as it is completely non-invasive. Such a soap dispenser simply needs to be placed on the sink. Most often, they are dispensers with a practical pump. We can easily refill the liquid soap or disinfectant into such a dispenser without worrying about dirtying the wall.
How much capacity should a soap dispenser have?
When choosing a soap dispenser, we cannot forget about the size of the container. Its capacity indicates how long the liquid soap will last. Soap dispensers have various capacities. In home conditions, a liquid soap dispenser with a capacity of around 200 ml is sufficient.
A container with a larger capacity works better in public restrooms or in the kitchen. Soap dispensers can also be used for dishwashing liquid. Such a dispenser, which makes washing dishes easier, looks great in the kitchen. They come in various color variants and are made of high-quality plastic, stainless steel, or alloy steel. A liquid dispenser can also be made from plastic. It is characterized by a low price but may not necessarily look good.
The best dispenser, what is it like?
We must answer this question individually. The choice of soap dispensers in the Mexen store is quite large. However, we must remember that the dispenser should dispense soap in the best way for us. Additionally, remember that dispensers have different capacities and installation methods. A dispenser can also be made from various types of materials, influencing not only its price but also its quality and design.
