Learn how to fill, pump, and maintain your Kilner Liquid Soap & Lotion Dispenser for daily kitchen use. Avoid common mistakes with this simple step-by-step guide.

Quick Answer

Using a Kilner Liquid Soap & Lotion Dispenser is straightforward: unscrew the pump, fill the glass bottle with your preferred liquid soap or lotion, reattach the pump, and prime it by pressing a few times. The durable metal spring pump mechanism delivers a smooth, controlled amount of liquid every time.

Why Choose a Glass Soap Dispenser for Your Kitchen

A glass soap dispenser like the Kilner model adds a clean, timeless look to your kitchen counter or sink area. Unlike plastic dispensers, glass won't stain, absorb odors, or degrade over time. The Kilner Liquid Soap & Lotion Dispenser is designed for both kitchen and bathroom use, making it a versatile addition to your home.

Step-by-Step: How to Fill and Use Your Kilner Soap Dispenser

  1. Step 1: Remove the Pump and Clean the Bottle: Unscrew the metal pump mechanism from the glass bottle. Wash the bottle and pump with warm soapy water, then rinse thoroughly. Let both parts air dry completely before filling. Common mistake: filling a wet bottle can dilute your soap and cause mold. Always dry the bottle fully.
  2. Step 2: Fill the Glass Bottle with Soap or Lotion: Pour your liquid soap, hand wash, or lotion into the bottle, leaving about 1 inch of space at the top to prevent overflow when you insert the pump. Use a funnel if available to avoid spills. Checkpoint: if your soap is very thick, consider diluting it slightly with water (follow the soap manufacturer's instructions) to ensure smooth pumping.
  3. Step 3: Reattach the Pump and Prime It: Screw the pump back onto the bottle until snug but not overtightened. Press the pump several times until liquid begins to dispense. You may need 5–10 pumps on the first use. Common mistake: overtightening can strip the threads. Stop turning as soon as you feel resistance.
  4. Step 4: Adjust the Pump Nozzle (Optional): If your dispenser has a rotating nozzle, turn it to point toward the sink or your hand. This prevents drips on your countertop. Checkpoint: if the nozzle drips after use, wipe it with a cloth and ensure the pump is fully depressed after each use.
  5. Step 5: Clean and Refill When Empty: When the bottle is empty, rinse it with warm water and a mild detergent before refilling with a different soap or lotion. Avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the glass. Common mistake: skipping the rinse between refills can mix incompatible liquids, causing clogs or separation. Always rinse thoroughly.
