Compact Soap dispenser?

[barrysuperhawk]

I currently have a small bathroom off my mudroom, and I want to put a pumice soap dispenser on the wall, because my sink is way too small for the pump bottles. The problem is that it seems like there's no middle ground between the little ones that you find an old school public restrooms and the Monstrous gallon+ size dispensers you see out in a commercial garage. I tried the small soap dispensers and so far I haven't found one that would actually dispense anything resembling fast orange or Gojo.
I just flat do not have room for one of the larger ones, but so far my searching ability has failed to turn up anything in the quart to half gallon size range. The smallest one that Gojo seems to make is a 2 liter, and that just seems huge coming not to mention that I have to buy the special packages of soap to use it.

Gojo still sells 14 oz containers. My dad has had the same old one that that just sits on the sink since before I can remember. He refills if from a 2l jug...

There are lots of commercial options. Something you would find in healthcare buildings.

For some reason it's not letting me put the direct link in, but go to the Global Industrial website and search on soap dispensers. Click on Type and then More on the left side of the screen, and a couple dispensers for powder soap are listed. This one looks nice.

While it's not a pumice soap, we have a soap dispenser on the wall in the apparatus floor restroom at the fire dept. I've been filling it with dish liquid rather than foo-foo hand soap. If something more than that is needed, the go-fast orange soap is in a pump container out of sight in the vanity.

That being said, I looked on Ebay for a buddy trying to find another soap dispenser like he has in his shop. There are several types that can be found there but try searching under descriptions.

Here's a used one on eBay. The auction ends later today, the starting price is $20 and there are no bids yet. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-St...h=item56b981d562:g:wPgAAOSw0rBbxTi1:rk:7:pf:0

I read a recommendation on here several years ago for Dr Bronner's Castille soap. I have it in reused Dawn bottles in the garage, bathrooms and shower. It is real "liquidy" and IMHO works as good as the pumiced soaps. It is a lot more expensive than dish liquid though.

I just thought I'd follow up with a couple of pictures of what I ended up doing. I went through three different soap dispensers that were the size that I wanted but none of them would actually dispense the pumice soap so I just ended up getting the Gojo kit.
This is what I started with

Okay I've tried like five times to post the pictures and the stupid things are not showing up... do imgur tags not work?

We've been using Method foaming soap for a while, usually just buying the refills, but it seems like each time in the recent past I have had to buy new dispensers, they last a shorter and shorter time, and the last time I bought them, they didn't work right from the moment I got them home. I have had these Mason jar dispensers for a month now and they work great; no signs at all of becoming difficult. Additionally, the actual spout can be separated from the wide mouth piece and actually fits right onto the Method dispenser (helpful in a place where we were concerned about the glass jar hitting the floor)

THAT is something I would post... well done.

Friend of mine had one of these in the restroom at his motorcycle shop. As the restroom was located in the workshop part of the building, the soap dispenser was covered in black greasy hand prints

Delete the "s" in https and it should work.

I am sure Dear Wife would object to a dispenser like that.

She would probably buy a ********* (male equivalent) dispenser for dish soap. Or mouthwash.
