Anybody have a built in soap dispenser in their vanity top??
Comments (15)pattis: Thanks for the compliment. We wanted a warm color on our walls because our bathroom is on the north side of the house....very cold in the winter. Our 10 year old granddaughter spent the night this weekend and she only uses the master bathroom because we are in the midst of diy-ing the other bathroom. Anyway, I realized after she left that the sink was clean...There weren't any drops of hand soap on the sink or counter. With the previous soap dispenser, there was always soap in the sink after the grandkids used it....See MoreDo you have Grohe or Hansgrohe soap dispensers?
Comments (24)I have a Grohe soap dispenser that is almost 7 years old, and looks like the day it was installed. I do not recall the model number. Whatever soap dispenser you get, make sure not to install it too far back from the sink edge or you will get soap on the counter. Mine seems at a good spot - approx. 2-1/4" from sink/counter edge to center of soap dispenser. It may depend on the length of the dispenser. I did have an occasional clogging problem when I was using Palmolive soap. Unclogging was easy--just stick the pump in a tall glass of hot water, and pump the hot water through until it flows easily. I did away with that issue entirely when I switched to Seventh Generation Dish Washing Liquid (learned about on this Forum, thanks!). Seventh Generation is not as thick as Palmolive. Works great too, quite the grease-cutter....See MoreAre you glad you chose a faucet with/without soap dispenser, etc?
Comments (22)We haven't started the remodel yet, but the old faucet broke, so I was able to replace it with a Kohler Simplice pull down spray faucet. There were two extra holes underneath the metal coverplate thing (what is that called? is that an escutcheon?), so I added a soap dispenser with a Never MT. We are VERY pleased with the faucet and the soap dispenser. The dispenser was also a Kohler, and the angle of the spout sends the soap right to the middle of the sink -- great for easy cleaning. And I can't rave enough about Kohler's pulldown faucet and the button to change the spray....See MoreWhere do the soap dispenser, instant hot and disposal switch go?
Comments (9)It is personal preference! But, here's my setup: To determine which side to put the SD & GD air switch with a single bowl sink, first, decide which side to put the SD. (1) If you have a soap bottle now, which side is it on? Most likely that's the side you're more comfortable w/having the SD & that's the side to use. (2) If you don't have a soap bottle now or you're not sure you have the bottle on the correct side for you, then imagine yourself washing your hands (go through the motions at the sink to make it more real!). Which side do you naturally want to go to to pump the soap? That's the side to use. For us, we put our left hand under the dispenser to collect the soap and use our right hands to adjust water temp. For us, it worked out better to have the SD on the left...so we put the GD switch on the right...even though our GD is in the left, large bowl. Once you've decided which side to put the SD: If you only have the 3 (faucet, SD, air switch), I recommend putting the airswitch on the opposite side of the faucet from the SD. If you also have an instant hot water, filtered water tap, or other (like side spray), then put the GD on either side...it's so low-profile that it's location is not much of an issue.
