A sensor soap dispenser is a good choice if you're looking for a touch-free way to dispense soap. The dispenser is designed to detect when your hand is close or far away and dispense a precise amount of soap. It also makes use of a non-contact infrared sensor to detect when your hands are close enough to trigger the pump to dispense soap. These types of dispensers also work with touchless faucets.

These dispensers come in a variety of designs. Some are made of glass, while others are plastic. Plastic dispensers are affordable, lightweight, and durable. However, they do not have the premium look of glass dispensers and can get scratched over time. Plastic dispensers are also available with clear windows so you can easily see how much soap is left in them. Other options include stainless steel dispensers, which look sleek and are corrosion-resistant. Glass dispensers come in a variety of colors and designs.

These dispensers also help prevent cross-contamination. This is because they use hygienic refills, ensuring that the soap is always fresh and free from contaminants. There are numerous manufacturers that produce commercial-grade dispensers. Some of these dispensers are even available for use in public restrooms. These dispensers pair well with Sloan faucets.

Another great feature of automatic soap dispensers is the ability to dispense a controlled amount of soap. This is particularly useful when you have soiled hands. They can also dispense other hygiene and skin care products. Automatic units are usually more expensive than manual models, so it's important to choose the right one for your needs.
