Oooh oooh ohhh!!! I want to know thoughts on this one too! I have seriously been considering this. I don't like excess shtuff sitting on counters. I don't remember anyone here doing this in the 10 months I've been here, but someone MUST have.

I had posed this question quite awhile ago and most said to only use one-that is for both dishwashing & hand soap...I ended up I couldn't fit even one in (very disappointing for me). Anyway, I hadn't even thought that you could use only one soap for both but makes sense?!

I plan on having two dispensers but I regularly wash my hands with dishsoap so the other dispenser will be for lotion. It took me some hunting to find just the dispenser to match my existing faucet/dispenser pair but I was able to find one. I'll do NeverMT for both under the sink cabinet.

Doggonegardener--your hands don't get dried out from the dishsoap? Maybe you use a better brand than I do!

Um...stupid question here? How do you tell which one is which? I used to have a pretty pump jar for the liquid soap in my powder room, but people weren't sure if it was soap or lotion so used the decorative bar soap only. Now I have a pretty-ish bottle of Method (its own packaging), but it leaves ones hands smelling funny. Green tea, maybe. At least it's self explanatory.

My dish liquid is 7th Generation and it's milder than many detergents that call themselves liquid hand soap, so I just use that for both hands and dishes in the kitchen and laundry room and don't worry about it.

Doggonegardener - I have a 2-story house and use the kitchen a lot when I need to wash my hands while on the 1st floor (rather than messing up the powder room!). I like the dw liquid I use for its effectiveness but it's not as good for my hands. So, I've gotten used to having both soaps. I'd forgotten about lotion. So, maybe the question really is: Three Soap Dispensers?

plllog - It's usually only me in the kitchen (sigh) and I've always used dw liquid on left/hand soap on right. Guests - I'll clue them in.

breezygirl - I say go for it!

I work in an animal shelter so I am CONSTANTLY washing my hands at work. I use plain old dishsoap (Dawn, Joy). Guess my hands are tough. They don't really get dry. I do put lotion on each and every time after I dry. Can't go without it. Not even possible. I think I will take the dispenser tops and have them engraved with little letters or something if it's a problem remembering which is which but I plan to put the soap close to the sink and the lotion next position out from there. Should be easy to remember.

I haven't done it yet, but we will be having 2 soap dispensers. I use dawn for dishes, and it dries out my hands way too much so I use another soap just for my hands.

They most likely won't be marked, but I figure the dish soap will be directly next to the faucet. We don't have guests often, it's just DH and I. I'm looking forward to getting rid of my bottles LOL. Way too tired of them getting knocked over all the time.

Thats a neat idea to have them engraved if you can though, it would look very pretty I would think. I did see a soap dispenser the other day that was sort of cute and old fashioned that comes with a soap and lotion insert to place on top-

I have hand soap in the dispenser too, since I don't like using dish soap to wash hands 10-20 times a day (with a dog, they get washed all the time re. playing catch with his slobbery ball).

I used to have dish soap (dawn) in a 2nd dispenser in my old house, but I like to use a big HUGE squeeze of it to get the dishwater super sudsy so I didn't put a 2nd dispenser in here ... I found I had to pump the dispenser 3-4 times to get as much soap as I could get from one huge bottle squeeze. Plus with the bottle I can direct the soap right into the spraying tap water, which I could never do with the dispenser. So I guess I'm part of a dying breed who prefers getting the bottle out from under the sink when it's time to hand wash the dishes. :)

dandridge - The dispenser is too cool! Can you tell whether the bottle actually screws into the top? I don't see any threading, but it could be because it's pictured fully assembled. The reason I ask is that a saleman told me his first dispenser just sort of pushed together and would come apart and spill out under his sink.

taggie - good point about the dish soap not dispensing directly into the sink. Rethinking, rethinking, rethinking...

I started with one dispenser for dish soap by the kitchen sink. The plan was to use this for hands also. I recently added a dispenser by the prep sink since I kept running with dirty hands from prep area to main sink area just to wash hands. This has been working out perfect and easier for the kids to wash their hands also (my main sink is big and hard for the kids to reach the faucet and dispenser).

Javachik, I don't actually own that dispenser myself, so I wish I had a definite answer for you. :o( I do see threading on it when I enlarge the pic (or it looks like threading to me) let me see if I can find some more info on it somewhere. I know i've seen it on other websites before. :o)

well I just went to the manufacturers site, and they don't say either. Here's a link to their site though if you want to call and ask them-

I only have one. Like Taggie, I didn't want the limitations that come with a stationary soap dispenser for my dish detergent....so I have hand soap in the SD and keep the dish detergent in a separate bottle. It's either on the counter or in the smaller bowl of our sink during the day, but gets put away under the sink when done w/the dishes for the night.

With the separate bottle for dish detergent, I can put the detergent wherever I want it and use it in either bowl of my 2-bowl sink. Even the prep sink, with one bowl, has only one SD and it also holds hand soap.

Like others, I find dish detergent dries my hands too much in the winter.

As to lotion, I thought lotion would be too thick for a SD so I still have a separate bottle that I keep under the prep sink and use as-needed.

I use
- Dish soap
- Hand soap
- Lotion
- Purell

So I'm planning on putting in one of these:

LOL @ Marcolo. I guess hotdogs probably aren't popular at your house.

I say put in one and use it for dish washing soap. Hand soap containers are smaller and more decorative.

Marcolo, uh oh, I use purell too. Now i'm thinking I need another dispenser as well LOL. You have all of your bases covered! :o)

I need purell hand sanitizer dispenser for daily home use
