Soap Dispenser and Washroom Dispensers Product information

ClickCleaning stocks a comprehensive range of soap dispensers designed for professional washroom environments. From basic bulk-fill models to premium
sensor-operated units, we've got dispensers that match every budget, usage pattern, and aesthetic requirement. The right dispenser can transform your washroom hygiene whilst reducing costs and maintenance time.

Choosing the right soap dispenser isn't just about price - it's about matching the dispenser to your specific needs. High-traffic washrooms need robust, high-capacity units that can handle constant use. Premium environments benefit from attractive finishes and smooth operation. Budget-conscious operations need reliable performance without unnecessary features.

Our range covers all the essentials: bulk-fill dispensers for cost-effective soap refilling, cartridge systems for clean and convenient maintenance, foam dispensers for improved efficiency and user experience, sensor-operated models for touch-free hygiene, and various finishes from practical plastic to premium stainless steel.

Bulk-fill dispensers represent the most economical approach for most commercial washrooms. The Myriad Recycled Plastic Black dispenser combines environmental responsibility with practical functionality. Made from recycled plastic, it provides reliable dispensing whilst supporting sustainability goals. The black finish hides wear and maintains a professional appearance in demanding environments.

The Modular Bulk-fill Soap Dispenser (900ml) offers excellent capacity with straightforward refilling procedures. The 900ml reservoir provides extended
service intervals whilst remaining manageable for maintenance staff. The modular design enables easy servicing and parts replacement if needed.

For smaller washrooms or lower-traffic areas, the Mini Modular Soap Dispenser (400ml) provides the same reliable operation in a more compact format. The smaller capacity is perfect for individual offices, small retail spaces, or areas where frequent refilling isn't practical.

The Mercury Bulk-fill Soap Dispenser represents our premium bulk-fill option with enhanced build quality and attractive presentation. The robust construction and refined appearance make it suitable for upmarket environments where dispenser aesthetics matter alongside functionality.

Foam dispensers offer significant advantages in terms of soap economy and user experience. The Modular Bulk-fill FOAM Soap Dispenser (900ml) converts liquid soap into rich foam, reducing consumption whilst improving coverage and user satisfaction. Foam dispensing typically reduces soap usage by 25-50% compared to liquid dispensing.

Cartridge systems provide the cleanest and most hygienic refilling method. The Cartridge Soap Dispenser (1 litre) uses sealed refill cartridges that eliminate contact with soap during refilling, reducing contamination risks and making maintenance cleaner and faster. The cartridge system is particularly
valuable in healthcare environments or anywhere hygiene is critical.

The POD system offers flexibility with its white plastic bracket that can accommodate various cartridge sizes and types. This modular approach enables easy upgrading or changing between different soap formulations without replacing the entire dispenser.

Chrome dispensers bring style and sophistication to washroom environments. The Wall Mounted Chrome Dispenser provides attractive presentation whilst delivering reliable performance. Chrome finishes complement modern washroom designs and maintain their appearance with regular cleaning.

The Wall Mounted Chrome Double Dispenser extends the concept to provide soap and moisturiser or two different soap types from a single mounting point. This is particularly useful in premium washrooms where comprehensive hand care is appreciated.

Stainless steel dispensers offer the ultimate in durability and hygiene. The Stainless Steel Bulk Fill Horizontal Liquid Soap Dispenser (1.2 litre) combines large capacity with commercial-grade construction. Stainless steel is naturally antimicrobial, easy to clean, and maintains its appearance indefinitely with proper care.

The Dolphin range represents professional-grade dispensers designed for demanding commercial environments. The Dolphin Brushed Infrared Sensor models provide touch-free operation that eliminates cross-contamination risks whilst providing consistent dispensing. Available in both liquid and foam variants, these sensor dispensers are particularly valuable in healthcare, food service, and high-hygiene environments.

Dolphin Brushed and Polished Stainless Steel dispensers offer various aesthetic options whilst maintaining commercial-grade construction. The brushed finish hides fingerprints and wear better, whilst polished steel provides a more reflective, premium appearance.

The QD Soap Stainless Steel dispensers provide commercial-quality construction at accessible pricing. The 1.2-litre capacity suits busy washrooms whilst the stainless steel construction ensures long service life and easy maintenance.

Capacity considerations affect refilling frequency and labour costs. Smaller dispensers (400ml) need daily attention in busy washrooms, whilst larger units
(1200ml) can provide week-long service intervals. Balance capacity against the practical aspects of handling and mounting larger dispensers.

Mounting requirements vary between dispenser types. Wall-mounted units need appropriate fixings for the wall construction and dispenser weight when full. Consider accessibility for refilling and maintenance when positioning dispensers.

Refilling procedures differ significantly between bulk-fill and cartridge systems. Bulk-fill dispensers require careful handling of liquid soap and proper cleaning between refills. Cartridge systems offer cleaner, faster refilling but require compatible cartridges.

Maintenance schedules should include regular cleaning of dispensing mechanisms, checking mounting security, and monitoring soap levels. Sensor dispensers may need battery replacement and sensor cleaning. Preventive maintenance prevents service interruptions and extends dispenser life.

Cost analysis should include initial purchase price, ongoing soap costs, maintenance requirements, and labour for refilling. Cartridge systems might cost more for soap but save labour time. Sensor dispensers reduce soap waste but require higher initial investment.

Soap Dispenser and Washroom Dispensers FAQs

Should I choose bulk-fill or cartridge soap dispensers?

Bulk-fill dispensers offer better economy on soap costs and more flexibility in soap choice, but refilling is messier and takes more time. You can use any compatible liquid soap, including your preferred brands or bulk products.

Cartridge systems are cleaner and faster to refill, more hygienic, and reduce labour time, but you're usually locked into specific cartridge types that cost more per wash. They're particularly good for healthcare environments or anywhere hygiene is critical.

For most commercial washrooms, bulk-fill provides better value unless labour costs or hygiene requirements favour cartridge systems.

What capacity dispenser do I need?

It depends on traffic levels and how often you want to refill. The 400ml dispensers work for low-traffic areas but might need daily refilling in busy washrooms. The 900ml-1200ml dispensers typically provide weekly service intervals in most commercial environments.

Consider the practical aspects too - larger dispensers are heavier when full and need secure mounting. Very busy washrooms might benefit from multiple smaller dispensers rather than single large ones.

Are sensor dispensers worth the extra cost?

In healthcare, food service, or other high-hygiene environments, definitely. Touch-free operation eliminates cross-contamination risks and gives users confidence in washroom hygiene standards.

For general office or retail environments, the hygiene benefits are less critical, but sensor dispensers do reduce soap waste and provide a more premium user experience. They also eliminate the wear and mess around manual dispensers.

The main downsides are higher initial cost, battery maintenance, and potential sensor malfunctions.

What's the difference between liquid and foam dispensers?

Foam dispensers use less soap per wash - typically 25-50% less - because foam spreads better across hands. Users also prefer the foam experience and tend to wash more thoroughly.

However, foam dispensers need soap specifically formulated for foam systems, which typically costs more per litre. The overall cost per wash is usually lower despite higher soap prices.

Foam dispensers also have more complex mechanisms that need specific maintenance.

Which finish should I choose - plastic, chrome, or stainless steel?

Plastic is most economical and practical for basic commercial washrooms. Modern recycled plastic options provide good durability and environmental benefits.

Chrome looks attractive and suits modern washroom designs, but requires regular cleaning to maintain appearance and can show water spots and fingerprints.

Stainless steel offers the best durability and hygiene properties, maintains its appearance indefinitely, and works well in demanding environments. It costs more initially but provides better long-term value in busy washrooms.

How do I prevent dispenser vandalism and theft?

Choose dispensers with lockable mechanisms and secure mounting systems. Avoid dispensers with easily removable parts or obvious weak points.

Stainless steel and robust plastic construction resist damage better than lightweight alternatives. Wall-mounted dispensers are generally more secure than counter-top models.

Some facilities use dummy dispensers in high-risk areas with the real dispensers positioned where they're supervised but still accessible.

Can I use any soap in bulk-fill dispensers?

Most bulk-fill dispensers work with standard liquid hand soaps, but check viscosity requirements and avoid soaps that might clog the mechanism.

Foam dispensers specifically need foam soap formulations - you can't use regular liquid soap and expect it to foam properly.

Some premium dispensers are designed for specific soap formulations, so check compatibility before ordering soap in bulk.

How often do sensor dispensers need battery replacement?

Typically 12-18 months with normal usage, though it varies by model and traffic levels. Many modern sensors provide low battery warnings before they stop working.

Some facilities prefer hardwired sensor dispensers to avoid battery maintenance, though these require electrical installation.

Keep spare batteries on hand and include battery checks in regular maintenance schedules.

What mounting height is best for soap dispensers?

Standard mounting height is typically 1000-1100mm from floor to dispenser bottom, which suits most users including wheelchair users.

In areas with mixed adult and child users, consider slightly lower mounting or dual-height installations.

Ensure adequate clearance below the dispenser for hand positioning and consider sink design when determining optimal height.

Do I need professional installation for soap dispensers?

Simple wall-mounted dispensers can usually be installed by competent maintenance staff with appropriate wall fixings for the wall type and dispenser weight.

Sensor dispensers or cartridge systems might benefit from professional installation to ensure proper operation and warranty coverage.

Heavy stainless steel dispensers or those requiring electrical connections typically need professional installation to ensure safety and proper mounting.
