With cleanliness being a top priority in any restaurant, hotel, school, and especially commercial washrooms, it’s important to provide washroom users with a way to effectively wash and sanitize their hands. Part of this process will be always ensuring that all of the washroom’s commercial soap dispensers are fully topped up and ready for use. This blog will quickly outline how to refill soap dispensers easily.
Refilling the Soap Dispenser
- The first step will be to check under the soap dispenser, behind the nozzle and push the bar of the dispenser. You should see a small bar or lever by the wall, on the top or bottom of the dispenser. If you push this lever while gently pulling the top of the dispenser towards you, the top should come away from the wall and hang down.
- Inside the soap dispenser should be an empty plastic soap bag that will need removing. Do this by simply sliding out the nozzle from its slot and removing it by hand; throw this away. Set the new soap bag on the platform that was just housing the old one. Alternatively, in a bulk fill dispenser, you may find a solid plastic container which should be retained and refilled (move to step 4).
- Assuming a new soap bag is to be installed, slide the plastic nozzle into the slot where the old one was, making sure to press the nozzle all the way in to secure it. The bag should also be seated evenly on the platform with no edges sticking out the sides.
- Close the front of the dispenser by swinging it back in place and pressing it firmly.
- Now you just need to test the dispenser to check that everything is in order; press down on the dispenser to check that it’s working. If it isn’t, simply reseat the soap bag on the platform until it starts working as it should.
That concludes this brief guide on how you can quickly and easily refill your commercial soap dispensers and make them ready for use. You should always be aware of when your soap dispensers need changing, as maintaining hygiene is one of the most important jobs when managing a washroom.
