what kind of soap can you mix this with? Any brand that you would recommend?

Insecticidal soap, stay away from dish soap too much can harm plants because anti bacterias in them.

I use it primarily for horse fly spray, so I don't use soap. I mix with white vinegar, Avon Skin-So-Soft and water.

I can't add much more than the other responses; however, I do want to give agreement to not using antibacterial soap and either using insecticidal or very mild and/or organic liquid soap.

In youtube, a gardener suggested mixing neem oil with Dr. Bronners - Sal Suds.

I like to use any brand that calls itself mild and doesn't have any coloring added!

I use "Safer" brand insecticidal soap. I've heard that some people have success using a small amount of dish soap, but I've avoided those because I'm afraid they will be too harsh on the plants.

Nope -- I have just used the simplehuman soap and softsoap which both work perfectly. The lighter consistency soaps are best.

I'll get the unscented bar soap. The licorice one is just too much for me. Hope that helps.

Well, I am using hand soap, not dish soap. You can use pretty much any liquid or gel soap unless it has "beads" in it or something that would clog the pump.

regular soap doesnt clean it well. i use the beauty blender soap (solid). it works well and lasts forever. wash daily or it can grow bacteria and give you blemishes...

I don't think you can use a foam soap in this particular model. It is made for your basic liquid hand soap, detergent or a thinner lotion. I don't even know if they have a model for the foam soap but if they do, you would probably like it! I love mine :)

This is from the blog of Lisa Bronner, whose family makes the soaps."Any of the castile soaps will work, but I usually use the Tea Tree because it has added antibacterial capabilities. If that's not on hand, though, I use anything. It's 1/4 c. castile soap in a 1 quart spray bottle, filled the rest of the way with water. Add ¼ tsp. tea tree essential oil if desired."

Avoid petroleum-based dish soaps like Palmolive. Use something like Trader Joe's or any natural brand. There's no point in paying extra for a nice stainless steel bottle so it won't leach minute amounts of chemicals if you're just going to coat the inside of the bottle with worse chemicals that you're going to ingest in much higher volume.

The following forum has recipes that use Dri-Pak Soap Flakes. Here are some recipes for shampoo: http://net.msodistributing.com/main/search/search?q=shampoo Here for dish soap: http://net.msodistributing.com/main/search/search?q=dish Here for hand soap: http://net.msodistributing.com/main/search/search?q=hand+soap For hand soap, an easy way to make some is to add only a few splashes of water to perhaps 1/4 cup of Soap Flakes. Mash the mixture around and shape into a disc or cookie-like shape and let dry for several days so it hardens. Then use it like a bar of soap. The soap is gentle so it is not as powerful as many soap bars, which is not necessarily a bad thing. There is a video here: https://youtu.be/NVICsRmsGfM There are some basic recipes at this site as well: http://soap-flakes.com/recipes.html It is always best to experiment with recipes and develop your own that will best fit your needs and performance criteria. Hopefully other readers will contribute their experiences and recipes here as well.

I am using a foaming soap made for foam soap dispensers. It's the Target brand (Up and Up) of antibacterial foaming soap, which I've used for years & is similar to the Dial brand. I've had this dispenser a few days and it seems OK with this soap. I've never tried to mix "traditional" liquid soap and water in any foam dispenser.

This is a soap. A brush and little bit of hot water will do the trick. hope this help!!!

Just regular liquid hand soap, you add water to that and then it forms foam soap :)

Add some Dawn or Palmolive dish soap (liquid kind). Just a tablespoon or so. Works with mine!

I've used these pumps for years and found the best soap to use is the generic brand (I use antibacterial). The more expensive brands are thicker and tend to make it hard to pump.

I have only used the simple human soap. But I would think if you buy a soap meant for an automatic dispenser any brand should be ok.

I could'nt say. I dont have the money to try the different types. I found one that works great, so I keep on buying it because it always works. I can say that did try cheaper soap that was not a low-sudds soap. That cheaper soap was a mess and had to throw it out. With that said i would try a cheaper soap it someone told me it works just as good. But like most of you i have have more important things to do than spend any more time on finding a good carpet soap. I found one and move on.
