Marble Tops/Non-Etching Liquid Hand Soap/Motion Soap Dispensers
Comments (3)Thanks PPC. I've read the first link and started the second. LOL I was hoping for first hand knowledge of specific brand names but most of the information in those threads is inconclusive, so I thought I'd ask again. It'd be great to be able to find one OTC! I ordered some PH balanced soap used in laboratories but it's thin and barely foams....See MoreMarble Safe Liquid Hand Soap
Comments (13)Folks, "pH Balanced" is NOT the same as "pH Neutral". PH Balanced means it closely matches your skin's natural oH level [5.5]. PH Neutral means it closely matches the midpoint between avid and alkaline [7.0]. Do not use pH Balanced on your POLISHED marble -- use pH Neutral products. PH Neutral is a bit more alkaline than your skin may like, but your skin will recover its slightly more acidic balance soon after cleansing. You could apply a moisturizer after washing, if desired or if you have higly sensitive skin. Hair is different [because it is technically dead]; it will not restore its pH on its own. So, using a product that is too alkaline could permanently damage your hair: frizzies, breakage, etc. Plus, you face is more sensitive [or at least more noticeable] to drying, so applying moisturizers if using a non-pH BALANCED [using a pH Neutral] product on your face. If you have a POLISHED marble shower, make sure to run the water until all soap residue and splashes are washed away. Oh, pH isn't much of an issue if you have HONED marble [think, the streets and fountains of Italy, which still look beautiful in the eyes of many, even after hundreds of years]. The blotching on polished marble is more noticeable because the etching contrasts with the polished areas; if the wold surface was etched [i.e., akin to honed] it would still be beautiful like Florence. There are marble-safe handsoaps (e.g., MB Blue Skies, or any others with pH between 6 to 8). Likewise, there are marble-safe body washes (e.g., MB Champagne Indulgence, or other 6-8 pH products). Regardkess, using a 6-8 pH shampoo is not good for your hair shafts. By the way, there are products [involving buffing] that will remove etch marks and restore the polished appearance. In addition, sealers only slow the possibility of staining; they buy you more time to clean up spills. Sealers do NOT prevent etching; they are only protect [buy time] from staining -- which is different from etching. Etching is not a stain; it is akin to an acid or alkaline 'burnining' away the polish. Either learn to appreciate the timeless beauty of HONED marble, or do all diligence and effort to keep your POLISHED marble uniformly gleaming....See MoreLiquid soap containers turn the color of the soap??
Comments (8)Thanks to all who responded, I thought it was possibly the metal in the containers, but it's most likely the soap from what "Sweeby" says. I'll give the Dial clear liquid a try, it's less expensive than replacing all the containers throughout the house....See MoreSave on 'Foaming' soap, dilute regular hand soap
Comments (8)I've used a couple styles of foam soap dispensers - had them long before Dial came out with theirs and the special liquid soap to go with them. I use the FOAMPUMP in the kitchen. I can do MUCH better in savings than the Consumerist web site shared. It takes 2-3 T. of regular liquid soap (not those that contain moisturizers, however) and about 2 cups of water. Instead of using a small pump dispenser of liquid soap each month, that same amount will last a year or more, using the FOAMPUMP. The other is EURO-FORMER. I use this for pricey shower gel-type liquid soap in the shower. Both foamers makes a thick mousse-type foam. -Grainlady...See More- 7 years agolast modified: 7 years ago
