One of the biggest challenges parents face is instilling the practice in their children. A great way to do this is by installing a small, commercial type, bulk soap dispenser in your home bathroom. This provides many benefits:

·Children actually find the activity of using an object with motion or that requires them to activate something a fun thing to do.· These types soap dispenser’s assist in preventing the spread of germs much more effectively than use of bar soap. · It will be easier for them to use, as given younger children dexterity it is difficult for them to handle a bar of soap or a push down bottle dispenser (how many times does the bar of soap go flying, or the dispenser knocked over along with everything else on the counter?)· It will help keep your bathroom clean (as we know the bar soap becomes matted with hair, leaves residue all over the sink and countertop, the contents of the pump bottle drizzle all over the container and counter.)· The dispensers available are small, with dimensions of 4″W x 4″D x 6″ L, cost under and will look sleek in your bathroom. · Although there is an upfront cost of buying the dispenser and soap products (the soap is usually available between 1 and 4 gallon increments or cases of 1200mil bags, etc.) it will save you money in the long run, as the products have a long shelf life

These dispensers are available by hand activation via push bars or “hands free activation” requiring no touching for a dispensing of soap. Consider talking to a neighbor or friend on installing one of these dispensers and you can “split the cost” bulk soap order.
