Solimo Antibacterial Liquid Hand Soap Refill

I've used Dial anti-bacterial hand soap for years, but since this pandemic, I've not been able to find it anywhere. Finally found this product on Amazon and thought I'd give it a try. Not sure why there are so many low ratings, but in my experience, it is better than Dial in most categories. But first let me say, and this accounts for some of the low ratings. As, with any liquid hand soap, you CANNOT use this product in a dispenser containing another liquid hand soap product - dial or otherwise. I've done it before, and for some reason the liquid becomes very watery and doesn't lather well. So I rinsed the dispenser I use very well and filled with this Amazon product and am very pleased with it. It has a very pleasant smell (better than most), it takes a small amount (one squirt) to lather very effectively, it cleans my hands even when a bit greasy or grimy, and feels great on the skin after rinsing. To me that covers everything I want in a hand soap. I highly recommend this product.

I bought this because, well, my son has terrible hygiene and with a pandemic raging in this country, I figure I need the antibacterial property of this soap more than ever. You can’t find this stuff anywhere these days so when I found a link to this through a FB group I’m in, I jumped on it. I followed other peole’s Suggestions and made sure my bottle was totally empty and i water in the bottom. I’ve had zero problems with this soap. Does it smell the best? No. Is it super creamy and moisturizing? No. It doesn’t even lather that great. But it does the trick and the price was right.

As other reviews mentioned, you must rinse out your soap dispenser before putting this in. This soap is simply not compatible with other soaps like softsoap. Even mixing it with the little that's left behind will cause this soap become very watery. Rinse out the dispenser really well. Then this will work just fine. In fact, I think I'll keep a separate soap dispenser just for this soap so I don't run into this issue again. It smells ok. I can't say I like it or dislike it.

After reading the reviews especially focused on whether this would mix ok with other liquid soaps and it's lack of lather I wasn't sure this would be ok. I received the soap today and thought I would mix some Antibacterial Soft soap with the Solimo. I put a small amount of each in a bowl and mixed it up. From what I could see there was no real difference in the consistency or fragrance. The lather from the Solimo and Soft soap appears to me to be the same, I tried the Soft soap alone and it did not create a lot of lather either. From what I could see both products performed equally well and this is a very good substitute for Soft soap, and at a much better cost. The only thing that I can't speak to is the antibacterial actions, but I have no reason to doubt the claims. Maybe it will be different when I put it the pump bottle, but I doubt it. I will buy again when needed providing it's in stock.

Worked well

Good value for the money, nice aroma, color and texture. When washing my hands the soap sud's well. Overall I would rate this produce a 5 Star, especially because of the quality for the money. The only Con I could find is it could be a little thinner. The reason is I am using the soap in a kitchen sink pump soap dispenser , which I also purchased on Amazon and it tends to lump up and drip at the end of the spout, not all the time and not excessively. Now, this could be the result of the spout design or the thickness of the soap. I have used, previously to this soap, another brand of bulk hand soap and did not have the lumping problem with that brand. The ocassional lumping and dripping for me is no big deal but is the only Con I have to mention. So, I am not going to reduce the 5 STARS because of it.

The hand soap does not have a particularly good scent, nor is it unpleasant. The scent is just blah, nothing remarkable in either a good way or a bad way. Like so many others, the "Anti-Bacterial" soap barely lathers at all, it kind of just spreads out on the skin, is a bit 'sticky' feeling, and an almost total lack of any suds / lather / foaming makes it something you just want to rinse off, and has a sticky feel to it, it doesn't just rinse off easily like better quality hand soaps. The product is priced well, but is so blase', so unremarkable that it makes you think of what other brand you want to buy, other than this one. I am considering returning it due to its totally mediocre performance.

We have used Mrs. Meyers for years but as it got more expensive, and the pandemic limited supply, I tried the solimo antibacterial soap. First - MAKE SURE YOUR SOAP DISPENSER IS CLEAN & EMPTY before adding this one for the first time. There is something that makes this soap turn very watery when it mixes with other liquid soaps. You should have no issues with refilling with this soap after that. The fragrance is light and fresh and does not linger. Lather is nice and I have not noticed excessive drying. I am now on the 3rd order of this and continue to like it a lot!
