For a touchless soap dispenser, it's best to use liquid soap that is specified as being compatible with automatic dispensers. Avoid using hand sanitizers, granular soaps, or foaming soaps unless the dispenser specifically states it is designed for those types. The consistency should be neither too thick nor too thin to ensure smooth dispensing and prevent clogging. Check the manufacturer's recommendations on the soap type and follow those guidelines for optimal performance.
