Household Tip: Lysol No Touch Hand Soap Dispenser Refill

The Lysol No Touch Hand Soap Dispenser is a great product that I've stumbled upon when Rite Aid was having a Free-After-Coupon-&-Cash-Back deal. It's battery operated and works really well. The cucumber scent that I got smells great too! So I ended up buying 2 additional ones to use in the other bathrooms.

The starter kit comes with a dispenser and 1 refill. Currently selling at Walmart for $7.97. However, the best price I can find for their refill is a 2-pack bundle at Walmart for $6.94 (17 oz total). This is about 3-4 times more than I'm ready to pay for a hand soap.

Some people pops out the lid to refill only to find that the catches are not meant to be removed and it breaks much too easily. Although some people do report that they can at least get it to work once, thus, cutting the refill cost in half.



What I've done is simply to drill a 1/2" & a 1/8" diameter hole on the top. It's pretty hard plastic, so you need a good drill - meaning one that actually uses AC power, not the small cordless drills that runs on rechargeable batteries. My husband actually does this for me and is quite proud of the outcome!


When it comes time to refill, you don't even need to pop out the bottle or even turn off the dispenser. Just point your refill soap right at the 1/2" opening and squeeze! I can even do it with one hand while holding the camera with my other hand to take this photo!

I've refilled it twice now, and it's working totally fine!




Another thing to consider is your choice of refill soap. I like to use body wash as hand soap because it just feels better on the hands. If your refill soap is too thick, it may not dispense properly. I use Suave body wash. It's acceptable, but it doesn't stop as clean as the original Lysol soap. It is a little thicker than Lysol's original soap, and when it dispenses, it does leave some dripping soap right at the dispenser mouth, which means you need to hold your hand there for 2 more seconds and let it drip off like honey. However, this is otherwise a great soap for everyday hand wash at a great price of about $1.5 per 12 oz when you stock up when there are good deals!
