Does it work well with hand sanitizer instead of hand soap?

Never tried this one with hand sanitizer, only soap. However purchased their hand sanitizer dispenser and use soap in it and that one worked well. Hope that helps.

Certainly. Many DIYers make soap and other hygiene/beauty products with it. It is so much safer than commercial ones, except certified organic of course. IF you like my review, please rate it "Helpful". Thank you!

I use these bottles to spray hand sanitizer which I make that has essential oils. I believe it would work for you!

I do not suggest for that purpose, the soap would become diluted as it is designed to work with water. It is great for hand soap and I love it, but I would not use it for dishwashing purposes.

Yes, it is. My understanding is that doctors use it to sanitize their hands before surgery. It's very effective.

I have no personal experience with hand lotion in this dispenser, but I expect that it would work just fine as long as it is not too thick. My belief is that hand lotion would be no more corrosive to the dispenser than shampoo or body wash. And I've use mine for shampoo and body wash for over 5 years now and it continues to work very well. I would give it a try.

I have never used Calgon when washing by hand. I'd bet it's worth a try. It would need, I would think, a good deal of rubbing and scrubbing and several rinses. And only a small amount.

It is very easy to clean & disinfect; I use a glass cleaner product that foams up. I clean the plunger itself, almost the same way. I think lysol would work well also. I'm ordering another simple human plunger for our main bath at home, as the one we have there has decided to quit "rebounding" after only the occaisonal use; 6 months after purchase from Target. These simple human products are the best quality I've found- soap dispensers also!

No, this hand sanitizer is bleach free (it says it on the bottle). The main ingredient is ethanol, which is the primary sanitizing agent. It works very well and it one of only a few hand sanitizers (another one is Zylast) that has been proven to kill the norovirus (the "stomach bug").

You can use almost any hand soap. I normally get the EQUATE CLEAR HAND SOAP from Walmart which works extremely well with the Simplehuman Sensor Pump and it only cost around $4.00-4.50 for a 56 Fl Oz bottle.

We've used it for a thicker lotion type soap and it works well. I think it should do for body/hand lotion.

No, it washed off my nephews hands with a little soap and water. If its used on walls or material it may be a little harder to get out.

This soap dried out my face and body something terrible. I do however use it at the sinks for hand washing because it lasts so long and is much more affordable than liquid hand soap and because it cleans well.

Nope, this isn't a disinfectant (such products are always labeled as having that attribute). My view is that FDA and CDC think that we're using too many antibacterial agents in our household cleaning products as it is, so I don't use such products in most situations (soap will kill most bacteria). OTH if you have a biohazard type situation at home (eg bodily fluids) you may want to use a disinfectant to clean up that particular mess.

I would think so....just make sure to rinse thoroughly....and since it can be a bit harsh (i.e. detergenty) - I would moisturize your hands following it's use.

I use it like regular soap, so however many times you bathe, or wash your hands...
