If it is touching the bottom of the dispenser inside, you may not be getting enough air pressure to make it pump. Just a guess.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of bathrooms~do you know where the majority of the germs come from? The toilet~always face away when flushing. I thought for sure it would be something you touched, but I was wrong! <BR/><BR/>xoxo<BR/>JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-79575768366281218972009-02-17T15:02:00.000-05:002009-02-17T15:02:00.000-05:00Heheheh...I resemble that cartoon!!!

You could try adding a touch of water to the soap to make it runnier so it flows through better. Or you could try getting another push top because I know they sell those separately from the bottle.Killlashandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16655705881605627747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-52078724439841848562009-02-17T13:34:00.000-05:002009-02-17T13:34:00.000-05:00I've had the same problem & tried soaking ...I've had the same problem & tried soaking them, etc. I've even tried switching parts!

I finally found that I can't buy anything but regular liquid hand soap (cheaper stuff works best)and water it down a lot... You can do that and still have enough soap to wash with... NEVER get anything with beads or granules in it or real thick and creamy... it will clog it and take forever to get it out... Mine now works properly but like I said about half soap & half water mixed really good.... Hope it works for you...<BR/><BR/>(((HUGS)))<BR/>Donnasquawmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814752309515986976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8102673914317853060.post-51886219397435109342009-02-17T10:10:00.000-05:002009-02-17T10:10:00.000-05:00Clif was just reading this over my shoulder.
