Prolonged use of hard water in the foaming hand-soap dispensers can lead to mineral build up causing the pump head to stick or jam. If this has occurred, clean out your pump using the following method:

1. Flush pump with hot water:

  • Remove the pump nozzle from the soap bottle and place the hose in a small bowl of hot water
  • Pump the hot water through the nozzle until it runs clear and is no longer soapy (5-10 pumps).
  • Remove the pump hose from the water bowl and pump through remaining water until nothing comes out.

2. Flush pump with vinegar:

  • Place the pump hose in a small bowl of vinegar
  • Pump the vinegar through the nozzle (10-15 pumps or until it does not feel stiff anymore) 

3. Flush pump with hot water again

4. Use as normal!

Pricing

While sustainable products can be more expensive than their single use alternatives, unlike single use plastics, they are an investment into your household. This is because they last longer, due to their reusable nature. Additionally, when you shop sustainably you are not only investing in your household but the future of the planet amid a climate crisis.
