Not all soaps can go in a foaming dispenser as is. A foaming dispenser requires a specific water-to-soap ratio for optimal performance. Typically, using a ratio of 1 part liquid soap to 4 parts water works best. Thick soaps, like certain hand or dish soaps, must be diluted to function correctly and not clog the dispenser. Always mix thoroughly before use.
