Wholesale Foam Hand Soap: What Should You Check?

Which product should I choose when buying foam hand soap wholesale?

If you use foam pump dispensers, buy START Foam Hand Soap; this is the foam hand soap in our catalogue and it comes in 5 KG and 30 KG canisters. The product is used by filling a foam pump bottle or foam soap dispenser.

If your dispenser has a standard pump, foam soap will not foam; in that case look at a liquid hand soap such as TETİK Liquid Hand Soap. The difference between the two types is in the guide foam soap or liquid soap, and all products are on the liquid soaps page.

How do I check the dispensers before buying?

• Pump type: a foam pump mixes soap with air and passes it through a fine mesh. Confirm that your dispenser is this type from its instructions or by testing it with the current product.
• Number of dispensers: list how many dispensers there are, on which floor and at how many washbasins; working out your purchase starts with this list.
• Mixed setup: if the building has two dispenser types, write on them which soap goes inside. Thick liquid soap blocks the mesh of a foam pump.
• Changing product: when switching from another product, empty, rinse and dry the reservoir; do not put the new soap on top of the old one.
• Diluting with water: do not dilute liquid soap with water to put it in a foam pump; its consistency and preservative balance are upset.

Which canister suits which business?

• Offices and workplaces: where there are a few washbasins and one person refills, look at the 5 KG canister. Other supplies are in the office cleaning supplies list guide.
• Shopping centres and stores: if there are many dispensers and refilling is done from one point, look at the 30 KG canister. Details are in the shopping centre cleaning supplies guide.
• Hotels and restaurants: if refilling is done on the floors, the 5 KG canister is suited to carrying; for central refilling look at the 30 KG canister. Lists: hotel cleaning supplies and restaurant cleaning supplies.
• Schools and hospitals: choose the canister according to the number of washbasins; if buying is done under a specification, read it first. Lists: school cleaning supplies and hospital cleaning supplies.
• Wholesalers and dealers: for sales to businesses there are 5 KG canisters, 4 pieces per case, and 30 KG canisters sold by the piece.

5 KG or 30 KG? Packs and case contents

Where refilling takes place decides the choice. A 5 KG canister is carried to the washbasin and poured there; a 30 KG canister stays at one point and the soap is distributed from there in a clean container.

• START Foam Hand Soap 5 KG (product code 059KÖ): 4 pieces per case.
• START Foam Hand Soap 30 KG (product code 109KÖ): sold by the piece.
• Case size and weight are in the table on the product page. For canisters and kilograms see the canister detergent guide.
• Do not confuse: TETİK Car Wash Foam — with Wax is a vehicle washing product; it is not a hand soap and does not go into a washroom dispenser.

How do I track foam soap consumption?

A single figure would not be accurate; consumption depends on washroom traffic, the dispenser's pump and use. The most reliable way is to keep a record in your own building.

• Note the day you open a canister and the day you finish it.
• Write in the same record how many dispensers you filled in that time.
• Assess busy and quiet periods separately; school holidays or the hotel season change consumption.
• Pumps wear with constant use; mark in the record any dispenser that does not foam properly.

What should you check when buying foam soap wholesale?

• Label: instructions and warnings are on the pack label; write your refill instructions accordingly.
• Safety information: according to the safety data sheet of START Foam Hand Soap, its pH is 5.5–7; the sheet carries the signal word "Warning" and the serious eye irritation warning (H319). If soap gets into the eyes, rinse with plenty of water.
• Safety Data Sheet: the sheet can be requested; the list and how to request it are on the safety data sheets page.
• Domestic Goods certificate: in the liquid soap product type we hold a Domestic Goods certificate covering the TETİK and START brands (certificate no. 2026104601357). Certificate details are on the documents and certificates page.
• Transport: according to the safety data sheet, the product is not classed as dangerous goods under ADR. Plan the route for carrying the 30 KG canister in advance; keep the canister upright with the cap tight.

What should refill instructions say?

• Empty: do not add new soap on top of the old; refill when the dispenser is empty.
• Rinse and dry: rinse the reservoir and pump with warm water and let them dry; no water should remain inside.
• Transfer cleanly: pour with a clean funnel or filling container without making foam; do not go above the marked level.
• Test: fit the cap and press a few times until foam comes. If no foam comes, see the steps in the guide how to refill foam soap.
• Wall-mounted dispenser: follow the dispenser maker's refill instructions.
• Washbasin note: wet your hands, take one pump of foam, rub all parts of your hands for at least 20 seconds, rinse with plenty of water and dry.
