Liquid Hand Soap and Hand Wash Product information

At ClickCleaning, we stock a wide range of liquid hand soaps that cover everything from basic everyday handwashing to premium fragranced options and industrial-strength bactericidal formulations. Whether you need small pump bottles for individual use or bulk 5-litre containers for refilling dispensers, we've got options that work for every situation and budget.

Hand soap might seem like a simple product, but choosing the right one makes a real difference. The wrong soap can dry out hands, cause skin reactions, or simply not clean properly. Get it right, and you'll have staff and visitors who actually want to wash their hands regularly - which is half the battle for
maintaining good hygiene.

Our range covers the essentials: everyday liquid hand soaps like Bio-Dox and Silk that provide reliable cleaning without breaking the budget, premium
options from Scottish Fine Soaps with natural ingredients and lovely fragrances, trusted brands like Carex that people recognise and trust, and specialist bactericidal soaps for environments where hygiene is critical.

Bio-Dox Hand Soap is our workhorse product - reliable, effective, and great value. Available in 300ml pump bottles for individual use, 750ml cartridges for
dispensers, or 5-litre bulk containers for refilling. It's a straightforward hand soap that does exactly what it says on the tin without any fuss.

Silk Hand Soap offers a step up in quality with a smoother feel and better skin conditioning. The name gives it away - it leaves hands feeling silky rather than stripped and dry. Again, available in 300ml bottles or 5-litre bulk containers, so you can choose the format that works best for your setup.

Savon Pearle Hand Soap provides good cleaning action with a classic formulation that's gentle on skin. It's particularly popular in office environments where people are washing their hands frequently throughout the day. The 300ml pump bottles are perfect for individual washrooms.

For recognised brand quality, we stock Carex Original Hand Wash in various sizes. Carex has been around for years and people trust it - sometimes that
familiarity matters, especially in public washrooms where users might be more likely to use soap they recognise. Available in 250ml bottles (6 pack), 500ml bottles (6 pack), or 5-litre bulk containers.

The Scottish Fine Soaps range brings a touch of luxury with natural ingredients and beautiful fragrances. The Sea Kelp Hand Wash and Silver Buckthorn options offer premium handcare with ingredients that actually benefit the skin rather than just cleaning it. These are perfect for upmarket offices, hotels, or anywhere you want to make a good impression.

Clean & Protect Antibacterial Handwash bridges the gap between regular soap and medical-grade products. The 650ml size is perfect for high-use areas where you need extra hygiene protection but don't want to go full industrial strength.

For serious hygiene requirements, the Q-Eco Hygienic Soap is a luxury bactericidal formulation in 5-litre containers. This isn't just marketing - it's genuinely effective against bacteria whilst still being pleasant to use. Perfect for healthcare environments, food preparation areas, or anywhere infection control is critical.

The French Lime and Basil Hand Wash offers a sophisticated fragrance that's fresh and professional without being overpowering. Some workplaces avoid
fragranced products, but where they're welcome, this provides a lovely scent that people actually enjoy.

Delphis Eco Commercial Hand Soap represents our eco-friendly option with environmental credentials that don't compromise on cleaning performance. More businesses are looking for sustainable options, and this delivers without the premium pricing you might expect from green products.

Size options matter more than you might think. The 300ml pump bottles are perfect for low-traffic areas, individual offices, or domestic use. The 750ml
cartridges work with standard dispensers and provide better value for medium-traffic areas. The 5-litre bulk containers offer the best economy for high-traffic washrooms where you're constantly refilling dispensers.

Bactericidal vs. regular soap is worth understanding. Regular hand soap removes dirt and most germs through mechanical action - the rubbing and rinsing does most of the work. Bactericidal soaps contain ingredients that actively kill bacteria and are genuinely useful in healthcare settings, food preparation, or during illness outbreaks. For most office and retail environments, good regular soap used properly is perfectly adequate.

Skin conditioning is important if hands are being washed frequently. Harsh soaps that strip all the natural oils will lead to dry, cracked skin, which
ironically becomes harder to clean effectively and can harbour more bacteria. The better formulations in our range include moisturising ingredients that help maintain healthy skin.

Dispenser compatibility varies between products. Most of our 5-litre containers are designed for bulk filling of standard dispensers, whilst the cartridge products fit specific dispenser systems. If you're unsure about compatibility, check with us before ordering.

Fragrance levels vary significantly across the range. Some environments prefer fragrance-free products to avoid allergic reactions or simply because strong scents can be overwhelming. Others benefit from pleasant fragrances that enhance the washroom experience and encourage regular handwashing.

Cost per wash is often more important than bottle price. A 5-litre container might cost more upfront, but it provides hundreds more washes than smaller
bottles. For busy washrooms, bulk products nearly always offer better value whilst reducing the frequency of replacement.

Storage considerations apply mainly to bulk products. The 5-litre containers need appropriate storage space and handling procedures. They're not difficult to manage, but you need systems in place for safe handling and dispensing into smaller containers or dispensers.

Liquid Hand Soap and Hand Wash FAQs

What's the difference between regular and antibacterial/bactericidal hand soap?

Regular hand soap works by helping you physically remove dirt and germs when you wash - the soap, rubbing action, and rinsing does most of the cleaning work. It's perfectly effective for normal hygiene needs.

Antibacterial or bactericidal soaps contain ingredients that actively kill bacteria on contact. These are genuinely useful in healthcare settings, food preparation areas, or during illness outbreaks, but for most office and retail environments, regular soap used properly is perfectly adequate.

The key is proper handwashing technique - 20 seconds of washing with any decent soap will remove most harmful bacteria.

Which size should I choose for my washrooms?

It depends on traffic levels. The 300ml pump bottles work well for low-traffic areas like individual offices or small washrooms. For busy washrooms, the 5-litre bulk containers offer much better value and less frequent refilling.

The 750ml cartridges are good for medium-traffic areas if you have compatible dispensers. Work out roughly how often you want to refill - daily refilling gets tedious, but monthly is usually manageable.

Are the premium soaps like Scottish Fine Soaps worth the extra cost?

For the right environment, yes. If you're trying to create a good impression - upmarket offices, hotels, restaurants - the premium soaps with natural ingredients and lovely fragrances make a real difference to how people perceive your facilities.

For basic workplace hygiene, the Bio-Dox or Silk soaps do the job just as effectively at a fraction of the cost. It's about matching the product to the environment and budget.

Do I need fragranced or fragrance-free soap?

Depends on your environment and users. Some workplaces avoid fragranced products because of allergies or sensitivities. Others find that pleasant fragrances actually encourage more frequent handwashing.

Light, fresh fragrances like the French Lime and Basil generally work well in professional settings. Strong artificial fragrances can be off-putting. When in doubt, fragrance-free is the safer option.

How do I refill soap dispensers safely?

For bulk refilling, never top up dispensers - empty and clean them first to prevent bacterial growth. Use clean funnels or pouring aids to avoid spills, and wear gloves if handling bactericidal products.

Keep bulk containers sealed when not in use, and don't mix different soap types in the same dispenser as they might not be compatible.

Which soaps are best for sensitive skin?

The Silk range is formulated to be gentler and more conditioning. The Scottish Fine Soaps with natural ingredients are also good options. Avoid the industrial-strength bactericidal soaps unless they're actually needed for hygiene requirements.

If skin sensitivity is a major concern, look for products that include moisturising ingredients rather than harsh detergents.

How long do these soaps last once opened?

The smaller bottles (300ml) should be used within 6-12 months once opened. The 5-litre bulk containers will typically last 12-18 months if stored properly with lids sealed.

Watch for changes in colour, consistency, or smell that might indicate the product is past its best. Store in cool, dry conditions away from direct sunlight.

Can I use these soaps in automatic dispensers?

Most of our 5-litre products are designed for bulk filling standard dispensers. The consistency and formulation work with typical dispenser pumps, but very thick or thin soaps might cause issues.

If you're unsure about compatibility with your specific dispensers, contact us with the dispenser model and we can advise on the best soap options.

What's the most economical option for high-traffic washrooms?

The 5-litre bulk containers offer the best cost per wash, especially the Bio-Dox or Silk ranges. You'll get hundreds more washes compared to buying multiple small bottles, and refilling is much less frequent.

Factor in staff time for refilling when calculating costs - bulk products might cost more upfront but save significant time and money overall.

Do these soaps work in cold water?

Yes, all our hand soaps are formulated to work effectively in cold water. Warm water can help with comfort and might improve cleaning slightly, but it's not essential for the soap to work properly.

This is particularly relevant for washrooms without hot water supplies or where energy costs are a concern.
