Can you use foaming soap in this or must it be traditional liquid soap and water?

I suppose you can, but by following the directions, a couple of pumps provide good results with liquid soap.

Like the name says it's meant for foaming soap. Not sure if you can have it dispense traditional liquid soap.

I imagine foaming soap would work. But if you only have regular soap the bottle gives you the ratios to make foaming soap for the dispenser.

I am using a foaming soap made for foam soap dispensers. It's the Target brand (Up and Up) of antibacterial foaming soap, which I've used for years & is similar to the Dial brand. I've had this dispenser a few days and it seems OK with this soap. I've never tried to mix "traditional" liquid soap and water in any foam dispenser.

Absolutley, you can use any of your favorite liquid soaps with water. It's a 40% soap to 60% water ratio. There is specialty foaming soap out there, but I have never purchased it.

no, this is the "melt and pour " method, the lye base is already made, i would suggest a good soap making book, and just gather your recipe items.

You should be able to add a couple of drops to your soap recipe. The key is to not use too much because your soap will not set properly.

I would suggest a foaming pump. 1/3 soap, 2/3 water. And it works great!! If you are not wanting to buy a foaming pump, then i have heard that you can also mix 1/3 to 2/3 with aloe vera gel for a more soap like consistancy. Hope this helps!

I just put some water in it and a tiny bit of liquid dish soap and then cover the top with my hand and shake vigorously. Then rinse it out with more water to get the soap out. The liquid soap is probably unnecessary, in all actuality.

Well, I am using hand soap, not dish soap. You can use pretty much any liquid or gel soap unless it has "beads" in it or something that would clog the pump.

Yes you can, but it works better on wet. I use water and special lemon soap.

It is a liquid bath soap, but it doesnt really make bubbles. When you rub it between your hands, it makes a soap film like a bar of soap would, not really a "foam".

Yes, this can be used for soapmaking. It works better than other products that I have used.

I've used soap and water with regular brushes and foam brushes and it cleaned both with no problem. Just make sure you clean it right away. Don't let it set.

You could use it in the tub,but it would take probably at least half of the bottle to make any kind of foam. That would make for an expensive bath.

You can, but it doesn't have the pump mechanism to make it foam. Basically you would just get runny soap.

Yes it can be used for soap but remember this is unrefined, it has a very earthy smell.

Well, I'm not sure why you would have to use either when just soap and water should work. If there are mineral deposits in it due to hard water then I've always heard that letting it soak in vinegar and water works well. Hope that helps.

It is a thinner soap so if you reuse a foaming bottle with half soap and water it will foam. Not a cream cleanser at all.I love this soap. I don't think you'll be disappointed at all.

Yeah. You might have too shake the bottle before ever use. But it can be use as liquid soap

I've done that and it's worked out ok. I'd be very careful with what you use. You do not want too much soap. Less is better. Also important - cleaning of the machine afterwards.
