Commercial Soap Dispenser
A resource dedicated to the wall mounted soap dispenser for use in kitchens and bathrooms.
Many public places have restrooms and this can include locations such as restaurants, museums and shopping centers. It is essential that people are able to easily clean their hands in these places and this means that soap has to be provided. One of the best ways to do this is to use a commercial soap dispenser and there are a number of these on the market these days.
When considering a commercial soap dispenser for your restroom there is a wide range to choose from. Typically soap dispensers can be wall or mirror mounted or alternatively can be placed on or recessed in a counter top. Some of the options you will need to consider when looking for the best option for your restroom include the following.
A commercial soap dispenser can work automatically or manually. The automatic type has sensors which dispense a set amount of soap when someone puts their hand near the sensor. These can be more hygienic as the person using it does not need to touch the dispenser to get the soap. Manual dispensers typically feature a button or plunger which needs to be pressed for the soap to be dispensed.
The two main styles of commercial soap dispenser models are bulk fill and cartridge. With the bulk fill type, the soap is poured directly into a container on the dispenser. This allows you to use any type of liquid soap you want in the dispenser. These can be simple to maintain although over time the rubber seals in the valve that dispenses the soap can wear out. This can lead to soap leaking from the dispenser.
The cartridge type can also be known as the bag in box dispenser. These use soap contained in a refill pack and all the working parts are included in the refill. This means that each time you put a new refill into the dispenser you are effectively replacing the working parts. This makes a cartridge type dispenser simple to maintain and less likely to cause problems. This disadvantage with this type tends to be that you are working with the soap of the manufacturer that makes the refill. This tends to provide less choice in the type of soap you can use.
There are a variety of different looks of soap dispensers for commercial use. Some of these include globe dispensers, recessed dispensers, tank dispensers and urn dispensers. These can be made in a range of materials with plastic, chrome and steel being common. Some of the manufacturers that produce them include Bradley, Jofel USA, Better Living Products and UltraClenz.
The cost of a commercial soap dispenser will vary depending on the size, type and material used. Entry level dispensers are available for around $10 to $20 although more expensive dispensers can easily cost $50 and above.
Commercial premises will typically have a restroom for public use. A commercial soap dispenser can be the most convenient way of providing soap for those that use this. There is a wide choice of styles and costs to choose from and this means that most people should find a look that suits their needs and their budget.
