Usage and Care

The pumps are not designed to be used under running water. Use in the shower is not recommended and the bottles should not be placed or washed under running water. Doing so can allow water to seep down the neck and get into the air chamber located beneath the pump.

Do not overfill the bottles. If you need to, you may actually measure out the right amount of liquid for the bottle size; you'll see that it doesn't actually fill to the very top of the bottle. This is to prevent liquid from getting into the air chamber.

Bottles can be refilled and used again and again.

Dilution Rate

The goal in determining your dilution rate is to find the most you can dilute the product and still have the desired feel of the foam. Miracle II Soap is very concentrated, so you should be able to dilute it at a 1:10 ratio. 

It the pump stops working properly, check the following:

Are you using the right kind of soap?  

The foamer bottles are designed to work with a thin substance of water-like consistency. It must have sufficient surfactants to create the foam.  The foamer bottle will not work with the NO-SUDS soap. 

Is the soap too thick?

To work in the foam pump bottles the liquid should be water-thin. If it is too thick, the pump won't work properly and/or can be permanently damaged. Increase the dilution rate.

Is there liquid in the air chamber?

You should see it inside the chamber below the pump. If so, turn it upside down and pump a few times which should get the water out of the air chamber. If that doesn't work (and if you are brave) take the pump apart, clean it completely, dry thoroughly and reassemble.

Has there liquid in the air chamber for a while?

If so, clean as above. However, if the soap has had time to degrade the silicone in the pump, it may not regain the original amount "spring" back up.

Is the screen clogged?

Inside the pump of the foamer bottle is a little mesh screen that mixes the soap with air to produce the foam. The holes are microscopic, and can easily get clogged.  Empty the container, clean the screen and flush with water (it won't foam).
