To unclog a simplehuman sensor pump, start by turning off the device and removing it from its power source. Next, empty the soap chamber. Mix warm water with a small amount of dish soap to create a soapy solution and fill the pump with this mixture. Turn the pump on and use it to cycle the soapy water through the mechanism until the clog clears. Rinse with clean, warm water afterwards. For stubborn clogs, you may need to use a toothpick or a similar tool to gently clear the nozzle.
