Reddit mentions: The best bathroom countertop soap dispensers

1. I loved to collect seashells and I liked pens. I still like both those things, I really enjoyed dorky things like that. I still enjoy dorky things like that :) I love a nice pen, things to put pens in, nice new books. And I still like seashells and am helping my daughter start her own collection XD
   
   Should I win, I know my daughter would love to finally get to paint her nails with this all natural stuff - she is too young for the hard stuff ;)
   
   But what I actually really need is this new dishwashing liquid and sponge holder. You choose so I don't have to pick between want and need lol
   
   But I want IT!
   
   Thanks for the contest!

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen someone pass off the shower gels as hand soaps. You could probably put some in something like this:


16-Ounce Clear Glass Boston Round Bottles w/Stainless Steel Pumps (2 Pack), Great for Essential Oils, Lotions, Liquid Soaps https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B6Q34LS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_NNlZDbCNQT6ZC

Helping hands hand cream would be a nice addition too:)

Just a few things (from experience):

• make all doorways 36" (pocket doors are even better)
  
• make wheelchair ramp 48" wide, and remember the max grade is 1/12 (1 inch drop for every 12" length) -- but that's a pretty steep grade, if you can make it less, you'll be glad
  
• wall-mount sink in bathroom with no vanity gives room for legs and wheels to fit comfortably under sink
  
• wall-mount soap dispenser is very helpful (we got the SimpleHuman one, here's an Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/simplehuman-Single-Shampoo-Dispenser-Stainless/dp/B002RBW7Y2/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1526353853&sr=8-6&keywords=simplehuman+soap+dispenser&dpID=31nhhjkWX5L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=srch)
  
  
• watch out with floor covers, carpeting may be difficult to navigate with a wheelchair
  
  Good luck to you!
  

You just reminded me of my favorite piece of Steelers merch I've ever seen. My two Pittsburgh native friends have this adorable soap dispenser shaped like a Steelers player in their bathroom. It's so absurdly silly looking, and I love it.

Oh wow, I actually found it on Amazon! I'm surprised, because they said they got it more than a decade ago from a local shop in Pittsburgh.

I have this sink, I keep it in the kitchen. It's white and used frequently. I generally wash my dishes in said sink. It does a good job at holding the dirty ones waiting for a clean. Well you see, we replaced the faucet. And we went from needing all three pre-cut holes in the sink down to 1. Well that's fine and dandy, right? Who needs to use all three holes. The new faucet came with a cap for the now un-used holes. Read that again, I said cap, not caps. So we have a hole in our sink. It is not the drain. It is it's own hole, just hanging out. We put a bottle of soap over it. We are thinking that this would fill said hole nicely.

Thanks for the fantastic contest.

That was a really good idea about the non-patterned curtain. I think I'll go with grey (I love grey), and do pops of color. I really love the mustard/grey/white porcelain accessories look. I have some like this, only mine are more round/full...

So now looking for a grey waffle-weave shower curtain..

Wow, amazing job!

This $13 product will be the icing on your kitchen cake:

I don’t have anything to do with the company that makes or sells these. I just love the aesthetic of removing branded items from view.

i used something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Better-Living-Products-Dispenser-Capacity/dp/B001CD3W04/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1425279857&sr=8-14&keywords=shower+dispenser

when i was at a hotel. Worked pretty awesomely. I;m not sure of how well the one I linked is - reviews seem random - but something like that would be perfect.

Ooo, I looked up cera bellina and it sounds perfect! I have a few questions for you. It looks like the cera bellina comes solid. Do you heat it up then add it to your room temperature mix? Or measure it out solid and warm the entire recipe up, then mix? Something else?

I'm interested in the optiphen just for the extra protection. I have this bottle that I'd like to use to store the oil, and it's easiest to keep it in my bathroom. My main worry is that steam from the shower will get in the pump area enough to contaminate the oil (the bathroom doesn't vent well at all), but this might be silly.

Also, if you wear makeup, does the 11.5% cromollient emulsify enough to get it off? I was planning to use 10%. I have a separate eye makeup remover that I like to use before cleansing so I'm mainly wondering about foundation and sunscreen.

I bought special foaming soap dispenser bottles on Amazon. I fill it halfway with water and halfway with Dawn gentle on hands formula. I tend to wash my hands a lot so I use the kitchen sink and my soap mix. Anything that's sitting in the sink gets a dose of water and soap. this stuff is so much gentler on your hands than the regular Dawn too.

Note that with the foaming bottles you can't put undiluted liquid soap in them, it's too thick so you have to dilute it. As a bonus you wind up using less soap.

Unfortunately Dawn changed their formula to include rose scent, and I am allergic to roses. Fortunately the Walmart version has no rose scent and works just as well.

I also use the foaming bottles in the bathroom. If you like Dr Bronner's soap you know you're supposed to dilute it. So I mix it with water in the bottles and use it in the shower and as hand soap.

Next try checking out a hands free one like this (that'sjust the first one I found). I've had a few friends say they like the option.

Peel off the labels. The first dispenser we had lasted for years, next time we bought a color that looked better in the kitchen and it didn't last long! Both were Method, I like the shape of the bottle. Whether quality has gone down or we were lucky but that first one lasted for several years.

Two years ago I was gifted this one in a color that matches the kitchen. Working as well today as it did the day it arrived and so far have been very happy with it.

Never considered an oil decanter. I've been using a pump foaming or not for so long! If I did I'd get something non breakable. Soap has a tendency to dry up and clog the tip which could be annoying I suppose.

I guess people can't buy concentrated all purpose chemicals and spray bottles so they can save an assload of money.

http://www.amazon.com/Ivesco-One-Ounce-Dispensing-Pump/dp/B0024J2VO8

For a steep $17 you get 256 spray bottles full of all purpose cleaner. $0.0664/spray bottle of cleaner.

A total of $42.71 for everything pushes the total cost to $0.1668/spray bottle of cleaner.

The one I have needs to be ~10" or more away from a surface (and ~14" if it's really shiny) which liimted where we could put it, but we made it work. It's really nice so far! A lot less standing water on the countertop, too, since most of that was from pumping soap while washing hands.

I fill about 1/5th of a soap dispenser with a foaming pump with Dr. Bronner's, and the rest with water. Gets me clean, lasts several months, and doesn't make my skin greasy like "shower gel" soaps.

Had this for years and thought it was awesome.

I used a folding step stool for the step ups. Worked ok for me and was a lot cheaper than a plyo box. Something like this

That`s a magnetic hand soap holder.

I've had so many problems with soap dispensers. Pumps failing, suction tube not long enough, and rust all come to mind. This is a new one, but I've had acryllic cups exhibit this issue.

Here's my current soap dispenser, which is pretty decent.

Pax Naturon for me. Doesn't have a noticeable fragrance at all.

They also have nice refill bags which are actually way cheaper than the bottle.

Ask around and see if they have aerobics blocks you can bring in there. Or, just honestly ask the manager to put a stool in there for short people to reach (that's what my gym has). No joke, they could buy one for $10. Ask every time you're there until they put one in.

I use one of these for my Dr. Bronner's! It looks cute on a shelf. (I also use this for my dish soap in the kitchen.)

Store spare trash bags in the bottom of the trash can they go with.

Get a Never-MT or similar tubing system to attach to your soap dispenser, so you can hook it up to a jumbo bottle of detergent; that way you only have to change it once a year or so

Cleaning supplies under the bathroom sink, so there's no "going to get them"

Here you go, bro.
